planning and environment
A master plan is a dynamic long-term planning document that provides a conceptual
layout to guide future growth and development. Master planning is about making the
connection between buildings, social settings, and their surrounding environments.
A master plan includes analysis, recommendations, and proposals for a site’s
population, economy, housing, transportation, community facilities, and land use. It
is based on public input, surveys, planning initiatives, existing development, physical
characteristics, and social and economic conditions.

Land Use Permitting & Entitlements
Land development in Hawai‘i is complex, involving physical design
elements, environmental and socioeconomic issues, many governmental
regulations, as well as community participation. G70’s staff has extensive
experience at all levels of governmental processing; we are able to guide
and coordinate all elements expeditiously, and are considered to be a
leading firm in Hawai‘i land use permitting, with experience on all islands,
working for both public and private sector clients with all types of land use
permitting.
Our Planning Team is experienced in the preparation and processing of
applications for land use approvals. We have several senior planners that
are former City/ County Planning Department officials, and apply their
depth of knowledge and understanding to the complex process of gaining
regulatory approvals in Hawai‘i. Our permitting services include:
• State Land Use Boundary Amendments
• County Development Plan and Community Plan Amendments
• Change of Zone
• Conservation District Use Permits (CDUP)
• Special Management Area Permits (SMA)
• HCDA Permits
• Variances and Other County-Level Permit
• 201H Affordable Housing
Representative land use permitting projects include:
• Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Hawai‘i Kai, O‘ahu

G70 realizes the importance of culture and sustainability in all planning projects.
Our approach is best described as ‘place making.’ We work with communities
and indigenous peoples to create designs that not only serve the people, but also
incorporate the cultural, historical and environmental aspects of the land and
those who live on it. We are taking this process and applying it to other lands and
host cultures internationally, with projects in Tahiti, Vietnam, New Caledonia, and
India.
G70 places a special emphasis on collaborating with community groups and key
individuals to resolve environmental concerns on new project developments.
Before proceeding with any project, we ensure that our environmental studies and
land use plans are accepted by the community and the official approving agencies.
We provide a variety of opportunities for community support and involvement with
our projects, including:
Project conceptualization through a unique
5-step charrette process
1. Community information meetings, project newsletters and information materials
2. Interviews of key community organizations and individuals
3. Synopsis of technical issues understandable to lay people
4. Creation and management of community advisory committees
5. Establishment of a community-based support network
In addition, we provide GIS development for clients requiring needs assessments,
requirements analysis, data collection and conversion, application development,
geo-database design/creation, mapping, and data modeling and analysis.
At G70 we establish a clear project task that describes how GIS will be applied
and support each project. Whether the task is to implement an interactive tool for
accessing useful information through online maps or to conduct complex analysis
of both geospatial and non-geospatial data, we deliver high quality GIS products to
our clients.
Our GIS Services group consists of a multi-disciplinary team of GIS/Geospatial
professionals, GIS-trained planners, GIS-trained architects, and GIS-trained
graphic designers working across the company as an integrated technology team.

Community-Based Planning
In the dynamic environment of Hawai‘i, community-based planning is not just an initiative; it is a fundamental necessity.
This approach places the power in the hands of those who have an intimate connection to the ‘āina. Community-based and
community-led planning facilitates the development of planning processes that embody the unique needs, aspirations, and
values of Hawai‘i’s people, thereby ensuring outcomes that are not only beneficial but also respectful of the local culture and
environment. As we navigate the unique challenges presented by our island geography, from rising sea levels to biodiversity
conservation, community-based planning allows us to make informed decisions that truly reflect the priorities of the
community.
Furthermore, the success and vitality of Hawai‘i are intrinsically linked to the contributions made through community-based
planning. It encourages local involvement and facilitates co-creation of our shared spaces, leading to solutions that are
innovative, inclusive, and tailored to local conditions. This process cultivates local ownership and deepens the bond between
the community and its environment. In preserving our heritage and ensuring sustainable development, community-based
planning in Hawai‘i contributes to a resilient future where the island’s unique character and natural beauty continue to thrive,
further strengthening the social fabric where our environment is intertwined with our identity. G70’s process echoes the true
spirit of ‘ohana and kuleana, defining our collective responsibility and interconnectedness in shaping the Hawai‘i of tomorrow.

Stakeholder Engagement, Meetings & Public Outreach Support
G70 has established clear steps in the implementation of our community engagement process that is dedicated to a strategy
of a structured focus of relationship building and the trust that develops over time. This commitment is vital to the successful
execution of our projects.
The methods and means of deployment vary between parties of interests whether with agencies, business sector and industry
leaders, neighborhood and community organizations, cultural practitioners and lineal descendants, to concerned citizens
within our island community. Our techniques have been a honed skill critical to maintaining a flow of meaningful and response
dialogue. The outcome we seek to achieve is a process that participants feel has been collaborative, inclusive, and responsive
to their voices and perspectives.
Meaningful community engagement as part of G70’s process is essential to its success. Early community engagement can
garner acknowledgement and sentiment around the vision of the Project. Our community engagement process is dedicated to
a structured focus of relationships, which requires a commitment of time and trust from the planning team over the duration
of the Project. Our proposed community strategy includes the following:
• Develop a master time line that outlines the community engagement
strategy over the course of the Project.
• Identify key community partners, methods of communication/
messaging, and outreach tools. Review existing plans, policies, goals,
and objectives or regional state, county, and community plans.
• Initial soft-sound interviews with key kūpuna and cultural/community
leaders to introduce the team, the Project, and the effort made
to-date to facilitate the sharing of ideas and to ensure a successful
engagement with the community.
• Conduct a range of small-group meetings centered on specific topics
of issues, concerns, or geography. Key stakeholder groups take part
in internal discussions with Project team members having assigned
responsibilities of data gathering with State and County Agencies,
business sector leaders, community, non-profit, and neighborhood
organizations, elected officials, and wherein appropriate ‘ohana,
kua‘āina, loea, kumu, or other cultural leaders.
• Develop a network of broader communications via virtual/in-
person community meetings, social media, or other synchronous/
asynchronous means of digital engagement to crowd source a range
of key concerns, perceptions, issues, and opportunities to effectively
develop ideas and mitigation scenarios from which alternatives and
prioritization can be developed.
• Integrate the appropriate use of interactive software or online
platforms, i.e., ArcGIS Story Map, Survey123, Mentimeter,
ConceptBoard to facilitate and manage the input of meetings that help
to guide decision-making. Consider the need for “classical” outreach
methods, i.e., postcards invitations, flyers, paper surveys as equitable
access to technology, internet, and broadband communications may
be a concern.
• Provide a report and asset map that summarizes the range of
opportunities/challenges and provides recommendations and
prioritization to carry out the overall vision of the Project.

Stakeholder Engagement, Meetings & Public Outreach Support
Given our extensive value of relationship as core to our practice, G70 has garnered a reputation of being “committed” to their
word. As such, we work with the client to develop some co-share of responsibility to provide meaningful feedback and wherein
appropriate, commitments to engaged participants. In some cases, it becomes practical for G70 to serve as a liaison on behalf
of the client given our understanding of local culture, values, and trust that has been developed over time.
Integrating Experience
G70 has developed an in-depth knowledge of over 50 years of working on projects in Hawaii. Our participation on all levels of
government across several sectors of industry, has provided use a richness of experience.
We are comfortable and adaptable to local, regional, and international forums of engagement. We are equally adept from
“board shorts to the board room” understanding the inclusivity of a diverse range of experience and perspectives begins with
engaging in meaningful dialogues with participants that are equally diverse in their own experience. Our ability to work closely
through these layers of dialogues help to inform a strategy to seeks to be transparent and inclusive.
G70 is as much a placemaker as it is a placekeeper which means understanding that we are a part of the community that we
ultimately serve in the projects we undertake. Our ongoing relationship with key agencies is an important element to ensure a
project moves forward in a manner that is respectful to community needs.
Community Leadership
G70 is also committed to being an active part of our island and global community. We are actively engaged in community
representation across various organizations, clubs, and other community organizations. We also support an employee-driven
foundation that seeks to give back in meaningful ways whether through volunteer services or allocation of grants to support
the on-going response needs across our State.
We have been privileged to serve with organizations that are taking on the critical
needs of communities across the Pacific and beyond. We are very mindful and
responsive to honoring the indigenous community in which we conduct our work
by identifying respected leaders, elders, and recognized experts as a point of
developing an informed perspective to the heritage and legacy of a place which is a
key and inherent quality to a community’s identity and sense of responsibility.

G70 developed the long term plan for 2,000 acres of wilderness area along the Kona
Coast of Hawai‘i from Mahai‘ula to Kuki‘o. Assessment of the significant natural and
cultural features, and areas of major outdoor recreational value were identified to
determine the terms of preservation and active use of these resources. Part of the
planning process involved the input and support of the surrounding community to
determine appropriate park facilities for the conceptual plan. Detailed site plans and
an Environmental Impact Statement were completed for the Mahai‘ula - Phase I area
of the park.

Planning efforts involve evaluation of seven candidate sites for the construction of a new
Judiciary Complex for the East Hawai‘i Service Area of the Third Judicial Circuit. Detailed
criteria were used to assess the development feasibility of the sites, including analysis
of existing physical, environmental, land use regulatory conditions, and compatibility
with surrounding uses.
Seven candidate sites were evaluated under requirements of the State’s Environmental
Impact Statement regulations. An EIS was completed in 1997. The candidate sites were
rated on their site criteria evaluations and development costs. Final rating were provided
to the State Judiciary and the Governor for final site selection. Community input was
solicited through a series of public meetings.
Subsequent to the EIS process, the preferred site was purchased by the County. An
Environmental Assessment was completed in 2000 for the final selected site at Kaiko‘o
Mall.

The project represents the first major transit-oriented development (TOD) under the
KMA Development Plan. Forest City was selected by the State of Hawai‘i Housing
Finance & Development Corporation (HHFDC) to develop approximately 2,300 homes
on 272 acres for Kamakana Villages, Keahuolu, North Kona. As a 201(H) project, half of
the homes will be sold or rented as “affordable.” The balance of the homes will be sold
or rented at market value. In collaboration with Calthorpe Associates, G70 completed
a Master Plan, Environmental Report, Sustainability Plan, and Entitlements. The plan
provides for 190,000 sf of commercial community facilities, two elementary school
sites, a community/civic center, and various parks and open spaces. The project was
awarded Outstanding Planning Project by the American Planning Association, Hawaii
Chapter.

G70 completed NEPA documents (EISPN, Draft EIS and Final EIS) to evaluate the potential
impacts of the proposed Kawaihae Deep Draft Harbor Improvements project. The Army
Corps of Engineers completed a reconnaissance study (2001) to evaluate the harbor’s
ability to meet the demand for cargo services to support the expanding economy in
west Hawai‘i. The current alignment of the harbor limits the movement and transport of
cargo and freight due to wave surge and reflective wave energy. The conditions affect
the efficient movement of goods and services by either creating delays or by inflicting
damage to pier facilities or to the cargo vessel. The EIS evaluates several alternatives
to reconfigure the design of the harbor to alleviate some of the impacts attributable to
wave surge.

G70 worked with Kamehameha Schools to develop a Plan for 26,000 acres on O‘ahu’s
North Shore. The planning process engaged North Shore residents through small
group sessions, workshops, survey, youth forums and a project website, which created
a high level of community investment in the Plan. The extensive analysis and selection
of projects utilized Kamehameha Schools Five Values and resulted in plans to pursue
projects that support the restoration of key wahi pana as part of the Plan’s vision of
a sustainable future. A key component of the plan included a cultural asset inventory
within the region. The plan won the American Planning Association Hawai‘i Chapter
2008 Outstanding Planning Award and the 2011 National Planning Excellence Award for
Innovation in Sustainable Places.
