EXHIBIT A 4.GOALS, OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND ACTIONS Chapter 4 presents the goals, objectives, policies, and actions of the Kona Community Development Plan (CDP). They are presented as eight elements, including: 1. Transportation 2. Land Use 3. Environmental Resources 4. Cultural Resources 5. Housing 6. Public Facilities, Infrastructure and Services 7. Energy 8. Economic Development These elements generally correspond with the thirteen elements of the County of Hawaii General Plan (GP) except that five elements of the GP have been combined in two of the Kona CDP elements. Specifically, the Kona CDP element for Public Facilities, Infrastructure and Services combines the GP elements for Public Facilities, Public Utilities and Recreation; and, the Kona CDP element for Environmental Resources combines the GP elements for Environmental Quality, Flooding and Other Natural Hazards, Natural Beauty and Natural Resources and Shoreline.

The concepts of sustainability variously addressed in the GP element for Environmental Quality form a part of the overall vision for the Kona CDP, as presented in Chapter 3 Visualizing Kona Tomorrow. Each of the eight Elements in this chapter has [sevee-]eight components, described as follows: 1. Introduction to the Element, discussing its scope, purpose and/or guiding principle(s).

Overall Strategy, explaining the major approaches by which the issues and concerns described in Existing Conditions will be addressed. 4. Goal, stating the intended outcome for the Element, as derived from the community outreach phase of the Kona CDP process. 5. Objectives, corresponding to each of the major approaches identified in the Overall Strategy. Each of the objectives in an Element is identified by an alphabetical prefix identifying the element and a sequential numeral. For example, "Objective LU-1" is the first objective in the Land Use Element. 6. Policies, [that I)FeGGFibe-to guide how each objective will be achieved.
