MEETING OVERVIEW
This meeting was a concurrent Windward Planning Commission Public Hearing to review the
Hamakua Community Development Plan within the CDP project area, and a Hamakua CDP
Steering Committee meeting to abide by the Sunshine Law (HRS Chapter 92) and enable CDP
committee members to attend and provide comments to the Planning Commission. Members of
the Hamakua CDP Steering Committee attended this Windward Planning Commission Public
Hearing and were able to answer questions from the Commissioners during the public hearing.
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.
