AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE COUNTY OF HAWAII GENERAL PLAN AND REPEALING <br />ORDINANCE NO. 89-142, AS AMENDED. <br />8E IT ORDAINED 8Y THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: <br />SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to adopt a General Plan in <br />compliance with Chapter 46-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, Chapter 226-58, Hawai'i Revised <br />Statutes, and Section 3-15, Hawaii County Charter. That is, the General Plan is a long-range <br />policy document with a planning horizon of at least 20 years. The General Plan contains value - <br />based principles from which island -wide and geographic district vision statements are <br />expressed. Vision statements articulate those issues and matters that are vital to defining the <br />past, present and future direction of the community. Vision statements capture the character <br />of the island or district community, and express the role and responsibilities important to its <br />involvement in the greater community. Vision statements, together with the objectives and <br />policies of seven planning elements, are intended to guide future planning and implementation <br />efforts. Through technology, the world has become smaller and, while once isolated, our island <br />state continually experiences the stresses of growth and population. The General Plan <br />establishes a framework for greater responsiveness by emphasizing program implementation <br />and regulatory mechanisms at the next planning levels. The General Plan recognizes that public <br />infrastructure and commensurate financing are essential to preserving and sustaining our <br />community visions. The adoption of the General Plan is a commitment to its citizens and our <br />future. <br />SECTION 2. Ordinance No. 89-142 (1989 General Plan) and all subsequent <br />amendments are hereby repealed. <br />SECTION 3. The General Plan for the County of Hawaii is hereby adopted as follows: <br />
