Puna Community Develo ment Plan CDP <br />Section 15.1 of the County General Plan called for the development <br />and eventual county Council adoption of CDPs. The General Plan <br />states that the CDP "will translate the broad General Plan statements <br />to specific actions as they apply to specific geographical areas."
