This same law states that farm dwellings must be used in conjunction with income producing farms. Are those thousands of farm dwellings being illegally used as homes without farms also undermining the agricultural purposes of the land? What about my AG2-zoned land (meaning lots of 2 acres or more) that is actually 1/5 of an acre? And the thousands of other AG2 zoned properties that are less than 2 acres? Are those undermining the ag purposes of the land? The County of Hawaii has "exempted" these properties from the legal requirement that they be income producing for decades. There is an actual form the county has to request this exemption. The County apparently has the right to continue to exempt any property it chooses from the rest of the requirements of this same state law too. They don't follow half of it now, why should they follow this new interpretation?
