Easing Housing Barriers on the Big Island (Hawaii Together)
Cut Red Tape for Permitting and Zoning. The host for this show is Joe Kent. The guest is Zendo Kern.
\n
\nHawaii County has the most housing regulations of any county in the nation, and a frustratingly huge backlog of building permits to prove it. Host Keli\u2018i Akina talks with Zendo Kern, the county\u2019s planning director, about the problems the county has been having with its computerized Electronic Processing and Information Center \u2014 known as the EPIC system \u2014 which was supposed to help clear the backlog. In addition, Akina and Kern talk about ways to streamline the county\u2019s zoning and approval processes so homebuilders can get on with the business of providing much-needed housing for Hawaii island residents.
