The city Department of Planning and Permitting will hold a public hearing tomorrow on Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts’ plan to build a new 26-story hotel and residential tower at the site of the Diamond Wing of the Moana Surfrider hotel.
The hearing is on whether to permit Kyo-ya to build the tower closer to the beach than the law allows. Waikiki Special District guidelines call for new buildings to be 100-feet from the certified shoreline.
The hearing starts at 1:30 p.m. in room 205, the city council committee meeting room, at Honolulu Hale. The Kyo-ya case is the fourth and last item on the agenda.
