BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS SERVICE CATEGORY (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />The term "Important Agricultural Lands," or IAL, is a State land <br />use designation that identifies high -quality farm land to be <br />protected and preserved for long-term agricultural use. In <br />compliance with the State law (Hawai`i Revised Statutes, <br />Chapter 205), the City and County of Honolulu Department of <br />Planning and Permitting (DPP) is conducting a mapping project <br />to identify lands on 0`ahu that meet the statutory requirements <br />for consideration as IAL. DPP is seeking input from landowners, <br />farming interests and residents about the type of land to <br />include in 0`ahu's future inventory of agricultural land. The <br />maps produced as a result of this effort will be submitted to the <br />Honolulu City Council for review and adoption by resolution, <br />before being sent to the State Land Use Commission for final <br />approval. <br />HHF helped to create a technical basis for identifying Important <br />Agricultural Land on 0`ahu. Work required operationalizing <br />criteria established in Hawaii Revised Statutes, identifying data <br />sources to be utilized by Geographic Information System, and <br />mapping data. Working with the County Department of <br />Planning and Permitting, a technical advisory committee (TAC) <br />was selected, and HHF worked with the TAC to operationalize <br />criteria and select appropriate data sources. The TAC met 6 <br />times over 8 months. <br />Phase II of the project focused on public outreach: stakeholder <br />meetings, community meetings, a project website, and a GIS <br />Map Viewer tool to share project maps and criteria used to <br />identify lands that qualify for IAL designation. <br />Project Cost: $350,000 <br />25.
