EXHIBIT A <br /> 4. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, LII <br /> ACTIONS <br /> Chapter 4 presents the goals, objectives, policies, and actions of the Kona Community Development Plan <br /> (CDP). They are presented as eight elements, including: <br /> 1. Transportation <br /> 2. Land Use <br /> 3. Environmental Resources <br /> 4. Cultural Resources <br /> 5. Housing <br /> 6. Public Facilities, Infrastructure and Services <br /> 7. Energy <br /> 8. Economic Development <br /> These elements generally correspond with the thirteen elements of the County of Hawaii General Plan <br /> (GP) except that five elements of the GP have been combined in two of the Kona CDP elements. <br /> Specifically, the Kona CDP element for Public Facilities, Infrastructure and Services combines the GP <br /> elements for Public Facilities, Public Utilities and Recreation; and, the Kona CDP element for <br /> Environmental Resources combines the GP elements for Environmental Quality, Flooding and Other <br /> Natural Hazards, Natural Beauty and Natural Resources and Shoreline. The GP element for Historic Sites <br /> is referred to in the Kona CDP as Cultural Resources and the GP element for Economic is referred to as <br /> Economic Development. The concepts of sustainability variously addressed in the GP element for <br /> Environmental Quality form a part of the overall vision for the Kona CDP, as presented in Chapter 3 <br /> Visualizing Kona Tomorrow. <br /> Each of the eight Elements in this chapter has [seven-jeight components, described as follows: <br /> 1. Introduction to the Element, discussing its scope, purpose and/or guiding principle(s). A table <br /> shows which of the eight guiding principles the Element supports. <br /> 2. Existing Conditions, describing the issues, concerns, and/or state of knowledge that are addressed <br /> in the Element. <br /> 3. Overall Strategy, explaining the major approaches by which the issues and concerns described in <br /> Existing Conditions will be addressed. <br /> 4. Goal, stating the intended outcome for the Element, as derived from the community outreach <br /> phase of the Kona CDP process. <br /> 5. Objectives, corresponding to each of the major approaches identified in the Overall Strategy. Each <br /> of the objectives in an Element is identified by an alphabetical prefix identifying the element and a <br /> sequential numeral. For example, "Objective LU-1" is the first objective in the Land Use Element. <br /> 6. Policies, [that preSGribe ]to guide how each objective will be achieved. The policies that use the <br /> word "shall" are mandatory directives [legally bindin jto County agencies provided that in the <br /> case of any conflict with existing United States or Hawaii State and/or County laws rules or <br /> regulations particularly any such laws, rules or regulations related to the protection conservation <br /> maintenance, restoration, and/or preservation of cultural and/or natural resources the existing <br /> 1 <br />
