It should be revised or thrown out and re -done. <br />The current general plan looks like it will further regulate and fine the public, limit travel, cluster people <br />into dense housing, and more. It has no conclusive plan to help communities prosper. <br />The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability" when it should be "Innovation". We want to move <br />toward thriving communities, environmental support, and economic alternatives which support farmers <br />and home -owners and not put people in boxes while over -regulating them. <br />The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact same words <br />like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend and more! <br />How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General <br />Plans around the country have the same language? <br />Please, review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. <br />https://www.standtogetherhawaii.com/_files/ugd/86fc0c_b34739e4c99c461685de4c0207bf286e.pdf <br />Mahalo <br />JOANNA WEBER <br />1 <br />
