NKCDP ACTION COMMITTEE
GROWTH MANAGEMENT COMMUNITY GROUP
2018 WORKPLAN
The general goal of the Growth Management Community Group is to direct North
Kohala's growth to areas within and near existing town centers in order to preserve the
district's open space and cultural resources.
To that end, the Growth Management Community Group reviews land use applications to
the County Planning Department. After due consideration, a presentation by the
applicant if possible, and input from the community when offered or solicited, the
Growth Management Community Group subsequently recommends action to the
NKCDC Action Committee (AC). A Land Use/Permit Summary Report is maintained
accordingly. Efforts to compel transparency at the County level continue.
In addition to initiating and monitoring the regular review of Planning Department
Applications, the Growth Management Community Group plans to implement a
Community Design Guideline addressing signage issues to serve as a mechanism for the
Action Committee and the Community to be part of the application process for signs.
The Growth Management Community Group continues to act as a liaison to the NKCDP
AC for any Kohala culture/historic preservation groups. This support extends to any
groups that need assistance working with the Hawaii County Planning Department or any
other Department, e.g. Public Works.
The Growth Management Subcommittee meets the first Monday of each month from 6-
7pm at the old Judiciary Building in Kapa'au. Everyone is welcome.
