These guidelines were drafted by the members of the Pahoa <br /> Regional Town Center Plan Subcommittee (subcommittee) of the Puna CDP Action Committee. <br /> Refinements were made based on input received from the public at two community meetings <br /> held in Pahoa in March and August 2013, Pahoa landowners and merchants at a special <br /> subcommittee meeting in June 2013, and from the Department of Public Works and Planning <br /> Department in July 2013. <br /> Bills have been drafted to amend Chapter 25 (Zoning Code) that will establish the Pahoa Village <br /> Design district as a special district and to require review of development projects against the <br /> Pahoa Village Design Guidelines. These proposed amendments to the Zoning Code are <br /> calendared for hearing by the Windward and Leeward Planning Commissions this July. Another <br /> bill amending Chapter 3 (Sign Code) will be concurrently introduced to create a new article <br /> establishing special signage regulations for the Pahoa Village Design district. <br /> Although the committee has enjoyed great success in getting developers of new projects now <br /> underway in Pahoa to voluntarily follow these design guidelines, we feel that Council adoption <br /> will be critical to ensuring design conformity for other proposed projects already being submitted <br /> for permits. <br /> Please contact Larry Brown at 961-8135 or lbrown @co.hawaii.hi.us if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> \C„f_J2---. <br /> D ANE KANUHA <br /> Planning Director <br /> Enclosures Comm.
