Baloney... environmental organizations put up a lot public opposition.

It's been a while but I looked the state urban district boundaries on "State of Hawaii Land Use District Boundaries Map". You can Google and use the + button to expand the map. Re-center with your mouse. It was probably changed to conform to the Lingle 30 year state general plan 20 years ago. Property owners have been trying the get the city to change the zoning for over 10 years. Check out the salmon colored areas.

Everybody knows all this. It's just that environmentalists have decided that they would rather have urban sprawl and fight against any development on ag land and rail.
