HAMAKUA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
On December 19, 2016, the Hamakua Community Development Plan (CDP) Steering
Committee recommended approval of a revised version of the March 2016 draft
Hamakua CDP. After reviewing agency comments, the Planning Director has
recommended revisions to the CDP. Pursuant to Section 2-28.1 of the Hawaii County
Code, within sixty days after receipt of the Planning Director's recommendation on a
draft community development plan or any amendment thereof, the Windward Planning
Commission shall transmit the draft community development plan or any amendment
with its recommendation through the Mayor to the County Council. Likewise, pursuant
to Section 15.1 of the General Plan, the County Council may modify or amend the
community development plan before enacting it by ordinance, but it shall give the
Steering Committee and the Windward Planning Commission an opportunity to review
and comment upon substantive amendments and modifications before final adoption of
the plan.
The purpose of this meeting and public hearing is to afford all interested persons a
reasonable opportunity to comment on the Hamakua CDP and for the Commission to review the
CDP and consider its recommendation to the County Council.
Submitting Testimony: According to Rule 1 (General Rules) of the Planning
Commission, a person desiring to submit oral or written testimony shall indicate her/his name;
residence address; and whether the testimony is on her/his behalf or as a representative of an
organization or individual. If testimony is being submitted on behalf of an organization,
documentation showing membership ratification should accompany the testimony. Written
testimony shall be submitted with an original and nine copies prior to testifying. The
Commission would appreciate timely submittal to the Planning Department at least one week
prior to the hearing date to allow for mailing and thorough Commission review. Testimony that
is irrelevant or unduly repetitious may be limited by the Chairperson pursuant to Rule 1.

Clerk within five days of becoming a lobbyist {Article 15, Section 2-91.3(b), Hawaii County
