Many Lahaina residents will be able to rebuild quicker thanks to a new bill, Bill 105, passed Friday at the Maui County Council. Historic churches will also benefit, allowing many properties to be built back as they were before the fires and bypassing ‘new’ zoning laws. The Maui County Council unanimously voted to allow property owners to rebuild to its original condition, even if it doesn’t meet certain modern codes like zoning or land-use, which could take months to approve.
