The Council finds that the village of Pahoa is <br />identified in the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP) 2008, as amended, as one of three <br />regional town centers intended to provide a wide range of services for the Puna district. The <br />PCDP further identifies Pahoa as one of two towns in Puna with the greatest potential for <br />designation as a Special Design District and that land uses, design themes and architectural and <br />site design standards for each village /town center will be determined through the preparation of a <br />regional town center or village center plan under an inclusive community based process that <br />involves major stakeholders, including landowners, community representatives, and public <br />agencies. <br />The Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan Steering Committee (PRTCPSC) consisting of <br />community leaders and interested stakeholders in the Pahoa community formed in October 2011 <br />with the idea of developing a growth management plan and design guidelines for Pahoa Village. <br />
