As you probably know, there is a controversy going on regarding the future of transient accommodations (vacation rentals) in non-hotel zoned properties. In the past, the County has tended to look the other way except in the cases of ongoing complaints. We are sympathetic to the views that zoning regulations should be followed, period. However, after so many years of active non-enforcement, we believe the impact of shutting down bed and breakfasts would cause economic hardship for owners, damage the visitor industry on Maui and drive potential visitors to other destinations. Rather than shut-down, the County should force all such existing businesses to register and be subject to good conduct provisions.
