1.2 PURPOSE, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES In 1997 and 2005, the CACs established a goal and related specific objectives for the HPP Community Master Plan which are still appropriate for today. The intent of the 2015 CAC is to update our CDP in an effort to create a vision for the future from the ground up; to meet the needs and desires of the residents of our community; to manage growth; to build our community, internally and externally, through communication and partnerships with government. Another purpose of the HPP Community Master Plan is to serve as an implementation tool and guide for the next revision of the General Plan of the County of Hawai'i and the PCDP. It is not intended to pose additional developmental controls but rather to guide land use actions by both the public and private sectors. It is not a regulatory measure but a guideline for making future land use decisions. It is important that HPP has a voice when it comes to planning, finances, capital improvements, and infrastructure on the district, county, state, and federal levels The overriding goal is to work with the community to develop a plan for a rural and fast growing subdivision that encompasses recreational and cultural desires; upgrades the infrastructure; provides social and public services; and creates regional/village/and neighborhood centers. This plan will include recommendations for small commercial enterprises, light industry, recreational opportunities, parks, roads, utilities, public support services, social services, and schools in a functional, attractive, and financially feasible natural environment. In the future the HPP CAC will also plan in concert with county government for appropriate shoreline uses, public facilities, and commercial and county infrastructure to be developed over the coming years. OBJECTIVES: Regional Town/Village/Neighborhood Centers: To work on the development of Regional/Town/Village Centers listed in the PCDP incorporating the results of the 2014 HPP Survey. Land use: To develop a plan for an integrated community which by interim amendments shall be presented to the County Planning Department and PCDP. These Master Plans will phase-in the required infrastructure over time and provide for a mix of land uses. Schools: To establish educational facilities for a large and growing young population. F
