Proposed Revision to the Charter of the County of Hawaii <br /> The following revision is based on the belief that a democratic <br /> form of government improves, both as the public which it serves <br /> is better informed, and as that government becomes more <br /> responsive to the needs and desires of the public. <br /> This proposed revision is aimed at insuring that the general <br /> plan shall not be used as a way of granting approval for <br /> specific projects of private developers, that it not be used as <br /> a technique of disguising such projects and preventing the <br /> general public from being aware of them, and that it not be used <br /> as a method of avoiding the filing of environmental impact <br /> statements for actions that can have profound effects on the <br /> county ' s infrastructure, quality of life and general environment. <br /> Specifically, it is recommended that item (c) in Section 3-16 be <br /> changed to read as follows: <br /> (c) Amendments to the general plan may be initiated by the <br /> council or the planning director, but projects of private <br /> developers requiring land use changes may not be proposed as <br /> part of the comprehensive general plan review process . <br /> Submitted by: <br /> 4711 <br /> ohn A.
