Late last month the Kauai County Council voted in favor of passing Bill 2322 commonly referred to as the ADU Extension Bill. The Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) Extension Bill extends the deadline for obtaining a building permit for the construction of an ADU on Agricultural or Open zoned land. The original deadline of Dec.15, 2009 has been extended to Dec.15, 2014. The only property owners who will benefit from this extension are those who had obtained a completed ADU Facilities Clearance Form by June 15, 2007. Therefore, the passing of the ADU Extension Bill does not open the process up to any new applicants for an Additional Dwelling Unit, even if the property would still qualify now.
