The Hamakua CDP is adopted by County ordinance and is a long-range plan with a 20 -year time <br />horizon. <br />CDPs are the forum for community input into establishing County policy at the regional level and <br />coordinating the delivery of County services to the community. CDPs generally do four things: <br />1. Establish County policy, particularly for land use and development. CDPs can direct settlement <br />where the community wants and protect cultural resources, public access, and valuable lands like <br />shorelines, agricultural land, and forests. <br />2. Direct County actions related to land and open space protection, water, roads, transit, emergency <br />services, and parks. <br />3. Guide the policy and actions of State and federal agencies, whose work impacts resource <br />protections, public access and trails, settlement patterns, and education. <br />4. Focus and guide community action in pursuit of community goals. <br />For more information about the purpose and scope of the Hamakua CDP, see Section 2: Applicability, <br />below. <br />A <br />
