~~<p><strong>QUESTION:</strong> Our friends are returning to their oceanfront family home along Kalanianaole Highway. Someone recently bought the home next door with the intention of turning it into a wedding facility. The zoning in this area is R-10, which does not permit commercial use in a residential area. How can the new neighbors get a permit to run such a business under current zoning laws? Who can our friends file a complaint with before it is too late and it is a done deal?</p>
