Your Committee on Planning, to which was referred Resolution No. 313-12, reports as follows:
Resolution No. 313-12, delays Council action on Upzoning the Pahoa Village Regional Town
Center planning area until Phase I of the Pahoa Regional Town Center plan is adopted by
ordinance, or until June 30, 2013, whichever shall occur first.
The Pahoa Regional Town Center Plan Steering Committee and the Puna Community
Development Plan Action Committee requested that any new up-zoning in this area be delayed
to allow the community through a legitimate, deliberate, and inclusive community-based
planning process to define how best to solve existing problems, to allocate space for new growth,
and to preserve its historical heritage.
For informational purposes this item was reported out to Council with a favorable
recommendation on October 16, 2012 via PC-68. The Council referred the resolution back to the
Planning Committee on November 21, 2012.
Your Committee on Planning is in accordance with the purpose and intent of Resolution No.
313-12 and recommends its adoption.
