Urges the Honolulu City Council to extend historic property tax exemptions to infill homes within the Ewa Villages historic district.

Notes that infill homes in Ewa Villages' historic district are subject to the same construction and design constraints as original plantation homes in the historical core.

References existing historic property tax exemptions for historic structures in all four Hawaii counties since 1983, and a 50 percent exemption for historical commercial properties in Honolulu since 2004.

Highlights that historical building codes impose stringent restrictions on homeowner expansions and establish strict constraints on fencing, parking, and exterior facades.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Mayor and Council of the City and County of Honolulu.
