Per your r~uest at 4he G~raz~ plan irieetir~ iii Pahoa, here arc some cordcrotte
suggestions:
La U V61'e need definitions for `fo~reha~ds" end 4`rurai" that match those in the honing
Code. There are no definitions for these categories on page 6 or under the ASriculture
section. C~ai page 6, the "Clpen Space" designation luanps together conservation lands,
etc., but on p. 267 under (hhcr Designations, (Open and Conset•vation are listed
separately, This is confusing. Also mote hoav this is handled on p. 327 "Standards". The
Cameral Plan, LUPAC; maps and Zoning Code should-not be giving con#licting
d~r___°.;ofls.
