Work with innkeepers and other hospitality workers to promote the natural, historic, and landscape values of Volcano. 3. Coordinate education and preservation efforts of the Volcano Community Association, Volcano Community Foundation, and the Volcano Art Center. Actions: 1. Establish by ordinance a Volcano Village Historic District for the purpose of preserving the unique and mostly intact historic and rural character of the Village core. 2. Establish a Historic District Design Review Committee consisting of community and professional members, whose purpose is to ensure compliance with design and zone criteria and permitting laws of the Historic District. This committee will include an architect licensed to practice in Hawaii and qualified to evaluate historic structures, a certified land use planner, a resident member of the Volcano community knowledgeable in local plant and animal ecology, and a community member with a professional association with State and County Historic Preservation Bureaus. 24
