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 />9 <br />
