SECTION I <br />BACKGROUND <br />OBJECTIVES <br />In October 1993 Paradise Hui Hanalike Corporation, the community association of Hawaiian <br />Paradise Park authorized its Community Action Committee to sponsor a community plan <br />development seminar. The mission of this seminar was to create a vision and a map/plan of <br />Hawaiian Paradise Park as a mature community. The reasons for this effort were many and <br />important. <br />The subdivision of Hawaiian Paradise Park located 15 miles southeast of Hilo contains over <br />8,800 building lots and was established in the late 1950s. This subdivision fronts State Highway <br />130 and stretches four miles to the Pacific Ocean and is three and one half miles wide. <br />Approximately one and one-half miles of Highway 130 passes through the subdivision beginning <br />at its northwest border. <br />From its inception until the present there has been no plan for this community other than the lot <br />layout by the original developer. Currently this area is referred to in the County General Plan as <br />an orchard. <br />At this time there are an estimated 2,600 homes in Hawaiian Paradise Park with over 6,000 <br />residents. It is the fastest growing community on the island with at least 100 active building <br />permits in effect on any given day. <br />The potential population at maximum buildout for this community with current ohana housing <br />regulations is well over 30,000. <br />
