PLAN ELEMENTS The Ka'G Community Development Plan is included in its entirety in P.D. Exhibit 1. NAVIGATING THE CDP The following are suggested to familiarize the reader with the Ka'G CDP: ■ For an overview, read subsection "1.1: Executive Summary" (also included immediately below). ■ To understand the evolution of the CDP, review the remainder of "Section 1: Introduction." ■ Then read carefully "Section 2: Applicability" to understand the different types of CDP strategies and their relationship to roles in CDP implementation. The remainder of the CDP is organized by four main substantive sections: ■ "Section 3: Advance Preferred Conservation and Settlement Patterns," which includes land use policy maps ■ "Section 4: Protect and Enhance Natural and Cultural Resources" ■ "Section 5: Strengthen Infrastructure, Facilities, and Services" ■ "Section 6: Build a Resilient, Sustainable Local Economy." Use the Table of Contents as well as "Table 1: CDP Strategies by Community Objective" and "Table 2: CDP Strategies by Place" to explore the CDP. Internal cross-references have also been inserted to simplify navigation within the document. To understand the origins of particular CDP strategies, refer to the "The Ka'G CDP Strategy Rationale" (included below as P.D. Exhibit 2). You may also find it helpful to review other CDP support documents: ■ "Land Use Policy Guide" is a quick -reference guide for land use planners. ■ "Guidance to Agencies" is a summary of implementation actions to be taken by County, State, and federal agencies and other organizations. ■ "Community -Based, Collaborative Action Guide" includes detail about each of the Community -Based, Collaborative Actions included in the CDP. All of these documents, as well as the CDP and other background documents, are available to be downloaded as PDFs at http:/�www.hawaiicountycd .info/kau-cdp/recommended-cdp-april-2017. However, only the CDP has been updated to reflect the non -substantive amendments recommended by the Planning Director.
