- PLANNING FOR OUR FUTURE --- HAWAII COUNTY GENERAL
PLAN UPDATE
- *** REVISED DRAFT RELEASED TODAY ***
- www.hawaii-county.com/general_plan_rev/main.htm
-
- Many complain there is "no planning" for their
community. Fortunately, we now have an opportunity to
plan for and help guide our future.
-
- The Hawaii County General Plan is in a revision
process. Last year the County conducted workshops on the
General Plan revision process and circulated a draft
plan. The feedback from those workshops was incorporated
into a revised draft.
- The revised draft was released today and can be
reviewed at:
- www.hawaii-county.com/general_plan_rev/main.htm
.
- In February the Planning Department will conduct
additional public
- workshops to consider the revised draft.
- The General Plan is not simply "A" land use plan, it
is "THE" planning document that guides future growth in
Hawaii County. It is the basis and foundation for all
other County plans. All subsequent community development
plans, zoning and related ordinances are guided by the
General Plan.
- The General Plan is the policy document for the
long-range comprehensive development of the island of
Hawaii. It provides the direction for the future growth
of our County.
- The General Plan brings into focus the relationship
between residents and their pursuits and institutions,
offering policy statements which embody the expressed
goals for present and future generations.
- As a policy document, the General Plan provides the
legal basis for all subdivision, zoning and related
ordinances. It also provides the legal basis for the
initiation and authorization for all public improvements
and projects.
- Please join us in planning for our future. Please
participate in the General Plan revision process. Here is
the schedule for General Plan Workshops.
- (All meetings start at 7 pm):
- Hilo; Feb. 5; County Council Room
- North Kona; Feb. 7; Kealakehe High School
Cafeteria
- Puna; Feb. 8; Keaau Elementary School Cafeteria
- Hamakua; Feb. 12; Honokaa High School Cafeteria

- After this series of Workshops, the Planning
Department will prepare a revised draft and submit it to
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will
then conduct a series of Public Hearings. Following the
Planning Commission hearings, the revised draft will be
sent the County Council for further hearings and
action.
