Title 19 System — both charters, side-by-side Free · no account
One front door to everything Title 19 (Zoning) for Maui County, shown through both charters at once. The actual government — the Maui County Charter and Title 19 as enforced — is the operative system. It sits on top of the foundation: James Langford's 12 Stones Sovereign Charter (Food Security · Education · Truth · Sovereign Charter, under the aloha of Christ). For each Title 19 area you see the county's operative law and the sovereign foundation next to it — where they align, where the county system diverges from the foundation, and what the sovereign charter would have it do. The county column is cited as law; the sovereign column is James's foundational analysis, never county law.
The two layers — the county system sits on the sovereign foundation

Food Security · Education · Truth · Sovereign Charter — under the aloha of Christ. The foundational principles the county system is layered on top of. (James Langford's charter — analysis, not county law.)
Read upward: the county system is what government actually does today; the sovereign charter is the ground it stands on. The mapping below holds them side-by-side.

Both charters, side-by-side — per Title 19 area
County (operative law, cited) Sovereign (foundation · James's analysis)
Plan authority & conformance foundation
▲ Maui County (law)Charter §8-8.5: the general plan = countywide policy plan + Maui Island Plan + community plans; all zoning & subdivision must conform to it. The Council enacts Title 19; the Planning Dept (Charter Art. 8) drafts; Planning Commissions administer.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)The whole county structure rests on the sovereign charter beneath it. Sovereign The foundation defines the purpose the operative system is meant to serve.
Agriculture & food diverge
▲ Maui County (law)Agricultural district Ch. 19.30A + Rural Ch. 19.29; uses must conform to the general plan; enforced by the Zoning Administration & Enforcement Division.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)Food Security Protect + activate working lands for local provisioning. The County's own rewrite audit says "ag zoning isn't working" — the foundation would put food production first.
Housing & community design diverge
▲ Maui County (law)Community plans (Ch. 2.80B) guide future use; zoning must conform to the general plan (§8-8.5); the Planning Dept drafts, the Council adopts.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)SovereignEducation Design communities for the people's flourishing; give the plans real force rather than letting interim/stacked zoning override them.
Process & transparency partial
▲ Maui County (law)Planning Commission(s) (Ch. 2.28) hold noticed public hearings; SMA under the Coastal Zone Management law; the Planning Director determines minor vs substantial change.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)Truth Changes that affect the public must be re-noticed and re-heard — nothing slips through as "minor." Aligns with the hearing process; diverges where "minor" skips the public.
Enforcement & civil fines diverge
▲ Maui County (law)The Zoning Administration & Enforcement Division cites violations; Title 19 sets the civil-fine schedule. fine schedule expanding
▼ Sovereign (foundation)TruthSovereign Enforce equitably; fines should fund the remedy, not price out the small landowner.
Who pays / fees diverge
▲ Maui County (law)The applicant pays application + study fees per the Title 19 fee schedule; County staff conduct review.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)Sovereign Where the County imposes a requirement (study, upgrade, condition), the County should bear that cost — not download it onto the resident. (James's ⚖️ position.)
Maps & parcel access align
▲ Maui County (law)Designations are published via County/State GIS + the real-property (qPublic) record; the Planning Dept maintains GIS.
▼ Sovereign (foundation)TruthEducation The public can know their land — free, on demand. The live parcel lookup already serves this; the layers align.
