Statement of Objectives and Reasons For This Request Since the County Planning Commission approved SP# 1122 in 2001, our community and our organization has grown significantly. In recognition of these changing times and because several of the community services currently provided by our organization is beyond the scope of our Special Permit #1122, we are applying to amend our permit to include these activities such that we can continue to successfully meet the needs of our local community,while operating within legal guidelines. HVC activities have evolved over time to create a working model of a self- supporting Community Arts and Educational Center Demonstration Model. Research indicates that we are undoubtedly one of the most Self - Sustainable Community Arts Centers in the U.S. One of our organization's most significant strategic goals is to support other communities in Hawaii (and beyond) in their process of providing sustainable community services and facilities for themselves. We have years of experience and information to share as a demonstration model of sustainability. The Hawaii 2050 Plan is the most comprehensive statewide planning process conducted in over three decades. It provides over - arching State goals that the counties can use as a guide to further their sustainability efforts. Hawaii 2050 is intended to augment and complement other existing government plans, and provides an action agenda that is oriented toward achieving sustainability goals and principles. Education is a critical component of Hawaii 2050; it is considered fundamental to the accomplishment of all five goals of the Plan and was made an integral part of all of the goals. The Hawaii 2050 Plan states, "We must understand the implications and merits of sustainable living. We must develop lifelong learning opportunities and public awareness programs to change behaviors and values in order to develop a sustainability ethic. Quality of life encompasses safe, caring, and engaged communities; healthy, sustainable surroundings; quality job 12
