The General Plan 2045 Draft fails to include all seven of Hawaii County's <br /> Community Development Plans (CDP). The GP 2045 Draft includes only six CDPs, all <br /> but one CDP, intentionally leaving out the South Hilo CDP. This reeks of discriminatory <br /> gobbledegook from the county's planning department, who, when responding to public <br /> questions of why no Hilo CDP in the GP, sidestep the CDP issue and conveniently cite <br /> the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) documents yet refuse to include the <br /> same DHHL documents in the actual General Plan 2045 Draft: <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> Final Draft General Plan 2045 Public Comments <br /> Pg. 44 of 569 <br /> https://records.hawaiicounty. oovv/weblinl</Browse.aspx?dbid=l&startid=139815 <br />
