In 2010, the Kyoya Hotels & Resorts had received a zoning variance from the city’s Department of Planning and Permitting to build a new oceanfront tower on Waikiki Beach. The 26-story tower was to include a total of 185 hotel rooms and 40 condominium units. However, several environmental groups have been protesting the decision under the statement that a tower will damage their enjoyment of the beach. The city and county of Honolulu’s Zoning Board of Appeals hav stated that they will hear the arguments brought forth by the environmental groups on March 22, 2012.
