Notice is hereby given that the Hawaii County Council's Committee on Planning will be
holding public hearings to hear testimony on Bill No.163 (Comm. 493), an ordinance
adopting the County of Hawaii General Plan and repealing Ordinance No. 89 142, as
amended.
As required by the Hawaii County Charter, the County Council in 1971 adopted by
ordinance a General Plan which set forth the Council's policy for long range
comprehensive physical development for the County. The General Plan also required
five and ten year comprehensive reviews and updates to maintain the Plan's dynamism
and flexibility to accommodate major changes and trends within the County.
This bill proposes numerous amendments to the General Plan as part of the current
comprehensive review, including revisions to the following elements and components:
Economic, Energy, Environmental Quality, Flooding and Other Natural Hazards, Historic
Sites, Natural Beauty, Natural Resources and Shoreline, Housing, Public Facilities,
Public Utilities, Recreation, Transportation, Land Use, the Plan's Introduction, Plan
Implementation and Amendment Procedures. This bill also proposes amendments to
(1) the Facilities Maps and (2) the Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Maps, which are
the graphic expressions of the General Plan policies, particularly those relating to land
uses.
In order to make amendments to the General Plan, this bill repeals Ordinance No. 89-142
(1989 General Plan) and replaces it in its entirety. The bill is available upon request or
for inspection at the County Clerk's Office, 25 Aupuni St., Hilo; the Office of the Mayor,
75-5706 Kuakini Highway, Suite 103, Kailua-Kona; and the Kona Councilmembers'
Office, 77-6399 Nalani St., Suite 104, Kailua-Kona. Copies of the Official version and
the unofficial Ramseyered version of the bill showing the proposed changes to the 1989
General Plan are available upon request or for inspection at the above mentioned offices.
