The"redevelopment area"was defined by the Windward Planning Commission <br /> and includes the properties identified in Exhibit 1. After initial consideration of public and agency <br /> input,the BDHRA voted to move forward the enclosed conceptual land use master plan(Exhibit 2) <br /> for the redevelopment area. The conceptual land use master plan is not the"redevelopment plan"as <br /> defined in Chapter 53, Hawai`i Revised Statutes(HRS), but is instead an initial concept by which to <br /> begin the studies required to eventually adopt a master redevelopment plan for the area. Specifically, <br /> it has been identified that any use of state or county lands or funds does require compliance with <br /> Chapter 343, HRS,prior to adoption of the final redevelopment plan. <br /> Please contact Lucas Mead of my department at(808) 961-8140 or Lucas.Mead@hawaiicounty.gov if <br /> you would like to arrange for a meeting or have questions regarding the enclosed materials.
