Mr. Andrew Choy
(808) 620-9481
andrew.h.choy@hawaii.gov
Services
SSFM assisted the State Department
of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) in
updating its General Plan. The
General Plan establishes policy for the ``
direction of the Department and
delivery of its mission to provide land tl
to native Hawaiian beneficiaries. The
General Plan process incorporated
research, agency input, and ,��: --
beneficiary preferences to establish a =
vision and policy objectives for the
next 20 years and beyond. It also
established a uniform system of land
use designations to be used by DHHL mak. a
across its lands statewide, with
associated criteria.
The DHHL General Plan sets the vision and establishes goals and policies to guide the
discussions and decision-making of the Hawaiian Homes Commission. The document
guides DHHL plans, programs, and policies for the next 20 years, taking the Trust to the
planning horizon of 2040. Since the previous General Plan, amendments to DHHL's
Administrative Rules broaden the scope and identified specific criteria which the
General Plan is required to address. As such the client contracted SSFM to complete
the update to DHHL's statewide, 20-year comprehensive General Plan ensuring that all
new criteria were addressed and that DHHL beneficiaries were adequately consulted
throughout the process.

The Anahola Regional Plan is one of + ,
twenty-two regional plans the

Regional Plans allow homestead lessees to identify and solve their own issues and
concerns. With support from DHHL and other partners, the planning process and
resulting updated Regional Plan was intended to stimulate capacity-building and
encourage stakeholders to champion the projects that will help to better their
community.
The project successfully brought together stakeholders from various cross sections and
interests in the homestead community to update the plan. Though the Anahola
homestead community has a reputation of being divided on a number of issues, SSFM
was able to facilitate a community engagement process to update the regional plan,
including involving "community champions" to lead plan implementation moving forward.

g �
The framework recognizes ecological, cultural,
historic, recreational, and aesthetic values while
balancing protection with economic development in
marine and coastal areas. The ORMP stito
complements Hawaii's vision for a healthy,
productive, and sustainable ocean ecosystem that
fosters economic growth while preserving and
protecting Hawaii's values and needs.
Updated in 5-year increments, the 2013 ORMP was
Kett
developed with the participation of county, state, �"""+ `�`�` "
urces
and federal agencies responsible for ocean and ,,
coastal resources. Statewide public involvement
was achieved through two rounds of Public
Listening Sessions held on six islands to determine
how the ORMP can be more responsive to local
communities and stewardship organizations, and to
develop new strategies and solutions.
The ORM P is driven by three perspectives: (1)
Connecting Land and Sea; (2) Preserving our gami
Ocean Heritage; and (3) Promoting Collaboration
and Stewardship. The plan was updated to
incorporate the National Ocean Policy and
integrates with other state efforts such as the
Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan and the A New Day
in Hawaii Plan. F.14111911P
Most importantly, it identifies 11 management priorities with multiple goals and corresponding

11, In 2021, Surfrider Foundation and Hawaii Sea Grant partnered with
M ' SSFM International to convene the North Shore Community
Resilience Working Group (NSCRWG). The NSCRWG was
- developed to discuss and identify possible solutions and address
increased impacts from coastal erosion and flooding within the North
Shore planning district, which includes the shoreline from Kaena
' "` Point to Velzyland. The NSCRWG represents the first community-
driven coastal resilience focused working group in Hawaii. It brought
together diverse public and private stakeholders to facilitate
meaningful, community driven discussions about climate resilience
and the future of coastal management on the North Shore through
the blending of technical, regulatory and community perspectives.
This effort laid important groundwork for the community to advocate
for plans, policies, and solutions to increase coastal resilience and
educate others in the community.

k 9MATE DAPTATION Climate Adaptation Design Principles for Urban Honolulu
CDESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR I Honolulu, Hawaii
URBAN HONOLULU October 2021, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter. Best Practice Award.
The objective of this project was to develop preliminary climate
adaptation design guidance for development projects in Honolulu
transit-oriented development (TOD) and other urban areas that are
aget vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). It is intended to provide
developers with information and best practices for adapting urban
building sites and structures to climate change-related hazards
including sea level rise, flooding, heat, and groundwater inundation.
This is an initial step toward developing comprehensive climate
-°` resilience design guidelines for the City and County of Honolulu
("City"), as called for in Action 14 of the Oahu Resilience Strategy.
Coimh
""�"` ""(Axel osi The Climate Adaptation Design Principles project exemplifies the
proactive, forward-thinking planning approach needed for
municipalities to address the significant challenges posed by climate
change. With development of TOD areas along the rail corridor a City
priority, DPP TOD Division and OCCSR recognized an urgent need
and opportunity to ensure that the impacts of climate change are
considered in new development. Guidance was also needed to
inform updates to regulations, codes, and policies around built
environment resilience, which can take years to implement.
The Background Research and Design Principles documents help
outline a path forward for the City while also educating the public and
development community about climate adaptation science and best
practices. The Design Principles can also be referred to in reviewing
discretionary permits for planned developments, thereby having an
immediate potential effect as the City moves ahead with regulatory
updates. Both documents are available for download at

be constructed through former sugar cane lands and is meant to
provide an alternate route and create relief to the congestion and
safety issues in Paia town. Parts of the relocated road will alleviate
coastal erosion effects and improve access to an important recreation
facility for windsurfing.
a 1 The Project limits of the corridor start at the intersection of Hana

,� just before Maliko Gulch. The section is approximately 6.5 miles.
Important issues include farmland effects, waterways,
SSFM was responsible for coordinating the potential alternative
alignments and their impacts with interested County, State, and
Federal agencies, public utility, community and civic organizations,
private firms and the major landowner. SSFM was responsible for
making recommendations for the best overall solution for the corridor
and provide complete analyses and justification for the solution.
In coordination with the State Department of Transportation, SSFM
conducted a Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) process for the Paia
Relief Route project. The approach integrated community objectives
and values with traditional transportation objectives such as safety,
efficiency and capacity. SSFM helped form a representative Advisory
Group, which has been involved throughout the project process. A
series of public information meetings have been held to update the
community on the project's progress. As a result of using CSS, this
transportation project is more likely to fit in with the community's
character and have less impact on environmental resources, while
maintaining safety and mobility.

planning and post-disaster recovery actions that are important for
I small businesses. This plan was conducted under a grant from the
' w US Economic Development Administration (EDA).
�r--{ A series of focus groups were being held across the state to find
out what each business knows about continuity preparedness,
response, and recovery to natural disasters. The focus groups were
followed by a statewide electronic survey of small businesses to
gauge how widespread were the gaps
The study deliverables included three reports: Existing Conditions,
Gaps and Strengths; Goals & Objective and Alternate Strategies;
and Final Plan and Recommendations.

' and serious injuries in accordance with Vision Zero, a fundamentally
new approach to traffic safety that is being adopted in states and
municipalities worldwide
This Vision Zero Plan is the first to be completed and adopted in the
State of Hawaii. The plan was produced through the efforts of a
multi-disciplinary Vision Zero Task Force comprised of
representatives from the County and State, as well as emergency

CLIMATE ADAPTATION Climate Adaptation Design Principles for Urban Honolulu
DESIGN PRINCIPLES FOR I Honolulu, Hawaii
URBAN HONOLULU October 2021, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter. Best Practice Award.
The objective of this project was to develop preliminary climate
adaptation design guidance for development projects in Honolulu
transit-oriented development (TOD) and other urban areas that are
art IC vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). It is intended to provide
developers with information and best practices for adapting urban
building sites and structures to climate change-related hazards
including sea level rise, flooding, heat, and groundwater inundation.
This is an initial step toward developing comprehensive climate
-°` resilience design guidelines for the City and County of Honolulu
("City"), as called for in Action 14 of the Oahu Resilience Strategy.
"invent '"" The Climate Adaptation Design Principles project exemplifies the
proactive, forward-thinking planning approach needed for
55F.1„,, municipalities to address the significant challenges posed by climate
change. With development of TOD areas along the rail corridor a City
priority, DPP TOD Division and OCCSR recognized an urgent need
and opportunity to ensure that the impacts of climate change are
considered in new development. Guidance was also needed to
inform updates to regulations, codes, and policies around built
environment resilience, which can take years to implement.
The Background Research and Design Principles documents help
outline a path forward for the City while also educating the public and
development community about climate adaptation science and best
practices. The Design Principles can also be referred to in reviewing
discretionary permits for planned developments, thereby having an
immediate potential effect as the City moves ahead with regulatory
updates. Both documents are available for download at
www.honolulu.gov/tod.

magnitude of three climate change characteristics (stressors) on a
prioritized inventory of the transportation assets. The climate
Waikiki Bridges change variables were: Storm surge, sea level rise (depicted) and
heavy rainfall. SSFM worked with SOEST (UH) on adaptation
mapping and interpretation. The five transportation assets were:
Honolulu Harbor, Honolulu International Airport, Farrington

SSFM assisted the State Department
of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) in
updating its General Plan. The
General Plan establishes policy for the ,, ...r
direction of the Department and
delivery of its mission to provide land
to native Hawaiian beneficiaries. The
General Plan process incorporated q - -_
research, agency input, and
beneficiary preferences to establish a f!,
vision and policy objectives for the _
next 20 years and beyond. It also ,.
established a uniform system of land
use designations to be used by DHHL A .611.1.0111111111
across its lands statewide, with
associated criteria.
The DHHL General Plan sets the vision and establishes goals and policies to guide the
discussions and decision-making of the Hawaiian Homes Commission. The document
guides DHHL plans, programs, and policies for the next 20 years, taking the Trust to the
planning horizon of 2040. Since the previous General Plan, amendments to DHHL's
Administrative Rules broaden the scope and identified specific criteria which the
General Plan is required to address. As such the client contracted SSFM to complete
the update to DHHL's statewide, 20-year comprehensive General Plan ensuring that all
new criteria were addressed and that DHHL beneficiaries were adequately consulted
throughout the process.

The Anahola Regional Plan is one of 440,4 '_..
twenty-two regional plans the
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has developed statewide. DHHL
Regional Plans allow homestead lessees to identify and solve their own issues and
concerns. With support from DHHL and other partners, the planning process and
resulting updated Regional Plan was intended to stimulate capacity-building and
encourage stakeholders to champion the projects that will help to better their
community.
The project successfully brought together stakeholders from various cross sections and
interests in the homestead community to update the plan. Though the Anahola
homestead community has a reputation of being divided on a number of issues, SSFM
was able to facilitate a community engagement process to update the regional plan,
including involving "community champions" to lead plan implementation moving forward.

areas of change. A -. A
Community wide input was received through
open houses, surveys, and a public web site.
The vision articulates the community's desire
to create walkable, compact residential and {
commercial centers, each with a unique
identity and sense of place. The Community
Plan sought to balance protection of the open
space between towns with accommodations C
for future growth in designated "Areas of
Change." An Urban Edge Boundary was
established to delineate the extent of future
growth and help to maintain the rural
character of the island. The Plan includes provisions for multimodal connectivity
between centers through bus, bicycle, and walking facilities.
The County Council adopted the Plan in 2015. The two year planning process was
complete on schedule and within budget, and achieved the client's objectives. The
Community Working Group wholeheartedly supported the Plan and felt it reflected the
community's desires. SSFM's management of the process ensured that deliverables
from technical studies to Community meetings were thorough and timely. Our
community outreach was comprehensive and multi-faceted.

framework and implementation strategy for state
agencies and others working with state agencies.
The framework recognizes ecological, cultural,
historic, recreational, and aesthetic values while
balancingprotection with economic development in
..
p
marine and coastal areas. The ORMP
complements Hawaii's vision for a healthy,
productive, and sustainable ocean ecosystem that
fosters economic growth while preserving and
protecting Hawaii's values and needs.
Updated in 5-year increments, the 2013 ORMP was
developed with the participation of county, state,
GOlurrCo
and federal agencies responsible for ocean and C bin
o �mcnt
� �an
coastal resources. Statewide public involvement
was achieved through two rounds of Public
Listening Sessions held on six islands to determine
how the ORMP can be more responsive to local
communities and stewardship organizations, and to 1 "'"'
develop new strategies and solutions. "
The ORM P is driven by three perspectives: (1)
Connecting Land and Sea; (2) Preserving our
Ocean Heritage; and (3) Promoting Collaboration
and Stewardship. The plan was updated to
incorporate the National Ocean Policy ander
integrates with other state efforts such as the
Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan and the A New Day

DOWNTOWNHILA Downtown Hilo Multimodal Master Plan
MULTIMODAL Hilo, Hawaii
MASTER PLAN October 2018, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter as its 2018 Transportation Planning Project.
� ,, The Downtown Hilo Multimodal Master Plan (DHMMP)was a multi-
.� -- .;, year planning effort undertaken by the County of Hawaii Planning
a;.- Department, assisted by lead consultant SSFM International and a
111+0 4 k. team of technical consultants. Hundreds of Hilo residents,
•
rTifizrA organizations, and agencies were participated in the highly inclusive
' planning process with the collective goal of making Downtown Hilo a102, more vibrant, walkable and bike friendly community for people of all
ages and abilities.
The DHMMP calls for complete streets improvements that elevate
Downtown Hilo as a destination and gathering place through
-- improvements that support walkability and increased transportation
choices for all modes. To achieve the desired Downtown
environment, the DHMMP intentionally shifts the modal priority away
from the current vehicle-dominated paradigm, and adopts a new
"transportation hierarchy"that prioritizes non-motorized modes
(walking and biking), as well as transit, over single occupancy cars.
