PlAN PREFACE Preface The Priniar’ Urban (‘en/er DL’I’L’/oplnen/ P/au has been prepared in accordance with tile Charter—prescribed requirements for development plans and is to be accorded force and effect as such [‘or all Charter— and ordi public nance—prescribed purposes. It is one ofa set of eight community—oriented plans intended to help guide policy, investment and decision—making through the 2025—planning horizon. Each plan addresses one of eight geographic planning regions on Oahu. responding to the specific conditions and community values of each region. Two of the eight planning regions, Ewa and the Primary Urban Center, are the areas to vhich major growth in population and economic activity will be directed over the next twenty years and beyond. The plans fir these regions will continue to he titled “Development Plans.” and will serve as tile policy guides for the develop ment decisions and actions required to support that growth. The remaining six planning regions are envisioned to remain relatively stable. The plans forthese regions are titled “Sustainable Communities Plans” to appropriately indicate the intent of the plans to serve as policy guides for public actions that support existing populations, and maintain and enhance the region’s ability to sustain their unique character and lifestyle. THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROCESS This document is the culmination of the Charter—mandated development plan revision effort lead by the City and County of Honolulu’s Planning Department and its successor agency, the Department of Planning and Permitting. This effort was comprised of a process that encouraged and enabled involvement from the re gion’s neighborhood boards, community associations, business leaders, private landowners and area residents. received In its final form, the Plan incorporates input received from public outreach, review and comment through a variety’ of formats since 1996. LAND USE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT IN HONOLULU The City and County of Honolulu guides and directs land use and growth through a three—tier system ofobjec— tives, policies, planning principles, guidelines and reguiatiois. The General Plan forms the lkst tier of this system. First adopted by resolution in 1977. the General Plan is a relatively brief document, consisting pri— manly olone-sentence statements of objectives and policies. It has been amended several times, but the basic objectives and policies set forth in the 1977 Plan remain intact. The second tier of the system is formed by’ the Development Plans and Sustainable Community Plans (hereinafter referred to as Development Plans” for simplicity), which are adopted and revised by ordinance. These plans address eight geographic regions of the island, including the Primary Urban Center. Central Oahu, Ewa, Waianae. North Shore, Koolauloa, Koolaupoko and East Ilonolulu. (Jnder the current revision program. the Primary Urban (‘enter and Ewa retain the title “1)e elopment Plan.” v hi Ic the oilier regions are now referred to as “,Suslania//e Community Plans” to reflect their policy’ intent.
