PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE PAIA-HAIKU COMMUNITY PLAN

1. Purpose of the Plan: Page 1, is revised as follows:

The Paia-Haiku Community Plan is mandated by the Charter of Maui County (1977) and the Maui County General Plan which was adopted on June 24, 1980 as Ordinance No. 1052. The Maui County General Plan, in turn, is guided by the Hawaii State Plan formulated under the provisions of Chapter 226, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS).

The County General Plan sets forth the broad objectives and policies [and] for the long-range development of the County. The purpose of this Community Plan is to provide a relatively detailed scheme for implementing these objectives and policies relative to the Paia-Haiku region. Contained in this plan is [The] the desired sequence, patterns and characteristics of future Ta-elopments for the region [are described by a map showing the planned distribution and intensity of land uses and public facilities, statements of standards and principles with respect to development and statements indicating the sequence in which future development is to occur] as well as statements of standards and principles with respect to development and statements indicating the sequence in which future development is to occur. Also included are maps identifying the planned distribution and intensity of land uses and public facilities.

This Community Plan [will provide the County of Maui with a decision-making tool to guide] is a guide to making decisions regarding the development in the region until the year 2000. Updates will occur at least every [five] ten years to incorporate new data and analysis. The plan elements are organized according to the General Plan objectives and policies. The Technical Report which accompanies this Plan provides background information for further interpretation of the summary discussions and recommendations which tallow.

[The plan elements are organized according to the objectives and policies outlined in the General Plan. The Technical Report which accompanies this Plan provides background information for further interpretation of the summary discussions and recommendations which follow.]

2. Planning Area Description: Page 2, paragraph I, is revised as follows: Page 2

The Paia-Haiku region is located along the island of Maui's northern shore, ease of Walluku, the County seat. [The boundary of this region runs along Kailua Gulch from the ocean to, but not including, the town of Haliimaile, then crosses over to Kahakapo Gulch up a point near Hosmer Grove Campground, then back towards the ocean along Waiakamoi Stream, then Oopuela Stream to the shoreline.] The boundary of the region is described as follows:

North - The shoreline of the Pacific Ocean from Kailua Gulch to Oopuela Stream in the vicinity of Kailua Town.

East - Mauka along Oopuela and Waiakamoi Streams to a point near Hosmer's Grove Campground.

South - Nlakai across Kahakapo Gulch and west below Haliimaile Town to Kailua Gulch.

West - Kailua Gulch makai to the ocean shoreline.

This boundary encompasses an area of approximately 17,300 acres and includes a tax map key zone 2, sections 5 through 9.

3. Planning Area Description, Page 2, paragraph 3, 5th sentence, is revised as follows:

Population levels have not declined, however, because the Paia area serves to some extent as a bedroom community to the Wailuku-[Hakului]Kahului job center.

4. Planning Process: Page 4, paragraph 1, is revised as follows:

Public participation played a key role in the preparation of the Community through the first three stages. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for Paia-Haiku was the focal point for the interaction between the consultants and the public as the Plan was being developed. The CAC was created by the County to advise and guide the Planning Director in the formulation of the Community Plan. The CAC [consists] consisted of 17 members, of which 9 were appointed by the County Council and 8 by the Mayor. The CAC held a public meeting approximately once a month beginning in January, 1981. The first two meetings were very valuable to the data collection effort with respect to the identification of community problems, needs and desires. The review and comments by the CAC members and the general public on the consultants' various work products at subsequent meetings during the data analysis and plan formulation stages were also of great assistance. The results of this process and the minutes of the CAC meetings are contained in the Technical Report which supplements this Community Plan. Page 3

Should any conflict exist between the Technical Report and the Community Plan, the Community Plan shall prevail.

5. Identification of Major Problems and Opportunities Page 6, paragraph 1, is revised as follows:

The Paia-Haiku region's key assets and problems were identified through intensive [working] sessions at the first two Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings. Participants were divided into small groups and asked to compile lists of the community's most favorable attributes and most serious problems. These responses were grouped according to the Community Plan categories mentioned earlier and ranked as to their relative importance and frequency of appearance on the lists.

6. Identification of Major Problems and Opportunities: Page 6, paragraph 3, is revised as follows:

The region's major problems [, as] have been identified by the residents [, are listed in order of pi1ority in the summary below.] in the following order of importance:

7. Planning Standards and Principles: Pages 8 and 9, paragraphs 1 and 5, are revised as follows:

[Certain underlying] The following principles have guided the preparation of the Paia-Fraiku Community Plan. [A brief discussion of each principle follows:]

1. Maintenance of State Land Use Districts

To minimize conflicts between State and County planning processes, the boundaries of the four State Land Use District are to be respected to the greatest extent possible in planning for the region's urban growth [of the region]. [In particular, the boundaries of the] The State Conservation District boundaries shall remain unchanged except for Hookipa, Maliko and Pauwela Point. When State Agricultural District land is needed to accommodate future urban expansion, [an' every effort [has been] should be made to identify and protect the potentially most productive [of these lands for] agricultural [purposes] lands.

2. Geographic Concentration of Growth

[Public facilities and services are easier and less expensive to provide when urban expansion is incremental and contiguous rather than scattered] It is less expensive to provide public facilities and services when urban expansion is contiguous. A [concentration] concentrated pattern of development also preserves large tracts for agricultural and conservation

Page 4

purposes. Future growth in this region will build upon the existing urban nucleus of Paia Town.

3. Diversification and Controlled Expansion of the Economic Base

An economy based on a single activity is much more vulnerable than one which is based on a wide range of activities. The continuance of sugar cane production as the primary activity is acknowledged, but this is to be complemented by a broader base of agricultural and industrial enterprise.

4. Protection of Environmental Quality

Protection of the shoreline and other natural features, control and avoidance of erosion, flooding and water pollution and other environmental issues are matters of great concern to people of this region.

5. Compliance with [ State and Federal] Other Laws

The Community Plan must be consistent with applicable laws and regulation of [higher] all levels of government, especially the Hawaii State Plan (Chapter 226, HRS), which sets forth comprehensive guidelines and priority directions for the State's long-range development [of the State].

8. Economic Activity, Page 10, is revised as follows:

a. Maintain agriculture as the primary economic activity, particularly sugar cane and pineapple production.

b. [Promote diversified agriculture by expanding agricultural park programs, creating an agricultural land bank and providing technical and financial assistance.] Create an agricultural master plan to promote diversified agriculture by expanding agricultural programs and by identifying the specific uses of those agricultural lands.

c. Promote the development of the sustained yield forestry industry through feasibility and market studies, pilot projects and technical and financial assistance.

d. Provide for the expansion of industrial employment as a secondary economic activity, particularly [heavy industry] industries which [is] are related to the agricultural base, light industries which are oriented to servicing the surrounding community, and small skilled-craft operations.

9. Environment, Page 11, is revised as follows: Page 5

a. Establish temporary marine sanctuaries at various points along the shoreline to regulate fishing activities.

b. [Develop a drainage master plan which emphasizes land management techniques such as the use of natural landscaping, periodic stream and drainage channel maintenance and avoidance of development in flood-prone areas over structural solutions such as the building of artificial stream and drainage channels.] Development of flood prone areas, stream channels and gulches should be avoided for purpose of safety, open space relief and visual separation. rainage channels should not be considered for building sites, and should be periodically maintained.

c. Preserve the shoreline sand dune formations throughout the planning region. These topographic features are a significant element of the natural setting and should be protected from any actions which would detract from their scenic value.

10. Land Use, Pages 11 and 12, are revised as follows:

a. Maintain the current State Conservation District boundary except for Hookipa, Maliko and Pauwela Point.

b. Maintain the current State Agricultural District Boundary except for possibly in the following areas of Kuau, Lower Paia, and Pais to be designated for Urban District uses: (1) The area between the proposed by-pass road and the existing Hana Highway which is not already within the State Urban District, to be designated for business/commercial use on the Kahului side of Baldwin Avenue and for single-family use as far as Holomua Road on the Pauwela side; (2) [Approximately] A total of approximately seventy five acres [on either] for both sides of Baldwin Avenue in the Skill Village area, to be designated for single-family use; (3) Approximately thirty-five acres adjacent to Paia-Mill to be designated for heavy industrial use; and (4) Approximately seven acres bounded by Holomua Road, Hana Highway and the proposed by-pass road for park use.

c. [Maintain] Expand the current State rural District boundary [, except for] to include an area of approximately eight acres adjacent to the northeast Rural District boundary in Kokomo.

d. Should further land other than than described above be required to accommodate urban growth, limit State Urban District boundary expansion to areas mauka of [the proposed by-pass road] Paia Town along Baldwin Avenue and makai of the mill. [which are contiguous to a State Page 6

Urban District boundary, giving priority to developable land with the least agricultural value.]

e. [Develop, adopt and enforce agricultural and rural zoning categories and subdivision regulations, establishing varying minimum lot sizes to reflect the different kinds of agricultural land and activities and prevent the improper use of these areas.] In order to prevent the improper use of agricultural and rural areas, establish varying minimum lot sizes to reflect different kinds of agricultural and rural activities.

f. [Restrict Special Permits in the State Agricultural and Rural Districts to: (1) limited public and quasi-public uses serving the immediate community in areas such as Kokomo, Kaupakalua, Ulumalu and Peahi which are relatively remote from the State Urban District area; (2) public facility uses such as utility installation, landfills and sewer treatment plants whose location is determined by technical considerations; (3) uses which are clearly accessory and subordinate to a principal agricultural use on the property; and (4) extractive industries, such as quarrying, where the operation does not adversely affect the environment or nearby agricultural uses.] Discourage approvals of Special Permits in State Agricultural and Rural Districts unless: (1) necessary to serve the immediate community in remote areas, (2) supportive of agricultural uses, or (3) required for the use or distribution of economic resources and not otherwise adversely affecting the environment or surrounding agricultural uses. g. [Develop, adopt and implement a zoning category to carry out the intent of the Reserve land use category.] Review, amend and adopt as appropriate zoning ordinances to carry out the intent of the new land use categories identified in the Community Plan.

h. [Zone property according to its planned use, as indicated on the adopted Community Plan land use maps and underlying assumptions described in the Community Plan Technical Report for the Pala-Haiku Region.] All zoning applications and/or proposed land uses and developments shall be consistent with the Community Plan policies.

i. The subdivision ordinance should be revised to provide for public review of projects with significant impacts. Subdivision approval should consider environmental, economic, and social impacts of the project including impacts on archaeological, historic and cultural resources. Page 7

j - Enhance the ocean orientation of the Lower Paia business area by establishing open space view corridors to the ocean and a passive ocean oriented park in the context of the 'Paia Town Plan.

k. For the outlying areas such as Haiku with existing Urban or Rural Land Use Classifications, consideration for expansion of the State Land Use District Boundary should be made on a case by case basis for limited residential development in accordance with the following criteria:

(1) That the district boundary change is reasonable and necessary in order to allow conveyance of property within families.

(2) That the proposed change is contiguous with the Urban or Rur District.

(3) That adequate public services and facilities are available or as can be so provided at reasonable cost to the petitioner.

(4) That the proposed land use amendment shall have no significant adverse effects upon agricultural, natural, environmental, recreational, scenic, historic, or other resources of the area.

11. Town Design, Page 13, item 93', is revised as follows:

Establish design control standards for special treatment areas in the commercial use areas of Paia Town and Haiku [, using the descriptions and illustrations contained in the Technical Report and Exhibit E of this Community Plan as general] based on the following guidelines[.1:

o Visually maintain and enhance the low-density town character.

o Encourage future development which is compatible with the desired scale and character.

o Maintain the attractiveness of Paia and Haiku Towns.

Design improvements should be undertaken in a coordinated fashion so as to insure compatibilit of future development pro)ects with t e desire c aracter an• s ould be an on-going activity.

The implementation of these plan recommendations will determine its success. Implementation actions are those activities necessary to achieve the Plan's recommendations in a coordinated fashion. This section defines the types of actions required, assigns areas of responsibility, and indicates the sequence in which action should be taken. Essentially, this is a reflection of the priority that should be given to initiating action and is presented on the following Implementation Matrix (Attachment 2).

The implementation of the Community Plan will require the concerted efforts of various County agencies, State government, and the private sector working together in a cooperative manner. It is essential to recognize that the Community Plan should be monitored and revised at regular time intervals so that it can reflect changing conditions or unforseen events. The County Charter requires this updating procedure to occur at least every [five] ten years. Utility development programs should coritto be monitored to ensure that community support systems keep abreast of needs.

1. Direct and Indirect Actions

Two types of actions to achieve these recommendations are required. Direct County actions by the County of Maui can be implemented through its Planning Department and other County agencies. These direct actions may require expenditures for capital improvements, maintenance of operations or conducting special studies or master plans. The majority of land use recommendations would require adoption of planning policy, procedures, or zoning actions to either establish zoning districts consistent with the Community Plan recommendations or with existing or intended use. Other direct County actions may be carried out by County agencies in accordance with County Charter provisions.

Indirect County actions can be achieved through the cooperation of Federal, State, or private agencies or organizations. These actions include, funding assistance through a government program; where joint funding would be required; or where the implementation responsibility rests with the State (examples include land use district boundaries changes or provision of education and health facilities.)

2. Implementation Sequencing

The implementation actions occur over a twenty year period and is sequenced into three time periods. There are five-year blocks for the first half of the period [which corresponds to the five-year Community Plan updates mandated by the County Charter]. The latter half is a ten-year block since it is relatively more difficult to pinpoint the timing of a proposed action which is more distant in the future. [ It is expected that more specificity will be provided at the time of the first or second five-year update to the Community Plan.] Sequencing has been indicated in three ways: 1) within a specific time period, to reflect community priorities; 2) throughout the planning period, or 3) in conjunction with a specific development.

3. [Urban] Town Design

The [urban] town design implementation program[s] focuses on the special treatment areas within the Paia and Haiku Towns. Its purposes are to: ° Visually maintain and enhance the low-density town character.

OVIIII LNaWH I o Encourage future development which is compatible with the desired scale and character [desired by Paia residents].

o Maintain the attractiveness of Paia and Haiku Towns.

Design improvements [in Paia Town] should be undertaken in a coordinated fashion so as to insure compatibility of future development projects with the desired character and should be an on-going activity. Road improvements for drainage, lighting, and safety should be coordinated with the maintenance of the existing rural informal streetscape which provide character identification of Paia and Haiku Towns.

Design policies related to height, landscaping, and building setbacks can be approached in a number of ways, including:

o Establish such policies as overlay requirements to zoning districts in Paia and Haiku, thus allowing application of special provisions in addition to or as modification to existing zoning regulations.

o Modify zoning ordinances to reflect the conditions out- lined by the Community Plan design guidelines.

o Requiring project review and approval by the Maui Design Review Board, using criteria outlined by the design guidelines . Time Dimension Recommendation (Action) Responsibility ATTACHMENT :2 .

This section outlines the social, economic, and environmental effects of which can be anticipated from implementing the Community Plan recommendation.

Socio-Economic Aspects

The social benefits are perhaps best gauged by the degree to which the Community Plan reflects the desires and goals of Paia-Haiku residents for their region. In this sense, the primary objectives of the Plan to diversify the region's economic base and provide more job opportunities and community services without disrupting the island's environmental resources are based directly on the various public expressions and decisions made at the numerous Citizen Advisory Committee meetings held during the Maui County General Plan Study (1977) and Community Plan Study (1981).

The realization of future population consistent with the 6,800 population guideline will result in an expansion of Paia; limited traffic increases; and increased pressure on community facilities. Conversely, population growth will afford expanded business opportunities, justify needed expansions or additions to public facilities and services during facility planning and promote cost-efficient delivery of services,

Physical Aspects

Environmental recommendations concerning resource management and the shoreline result in certain benefits accrued to the region. Implementation of a drainage master plan, soil and water management techniques will result in the retension of the Island's natural open space and agricultural character. Shoreline protection will enhance the availability of the resources and associated wildlife for recreation and study.

Changes to the state land use district boundaries and designation of a specific urban land use pattern will allow control over future growth and more accurately reflect existing uses. Among these designations is the open space category which is intended for urban lands not suited for intensive development at the present.

The urban design recommendations focus on Paia Town and recommends a Special Treatment Area for some portions of Paia Town which is designated for uses other than single family residential use. The implementation of the design program will result in improved town circulation, increased offstreet parking, improved pedestrian amenities including landscaping, walkways, and street furniture; and enhancement of the park and open space system. Development will be under the review of the Maui Urban Design Review Board or a special body assigned for such review.

Legal questions pertaining to land uses and height guidelines for the Island should be considered during implementation. If these controls reduce what might previously have been achieved in development and result in economic hardship, the issue of taking may have to be addressed. It should be noted, however, that the guidelines proposed by the plan will result in public benefits by encouraging harmonious development in the future. As these guidelines represent CAC deliberation, they also reflect current community values. aWliDILLIN IN

E Support Systems: Transportation and Utilities

Improvement to circulation patterns and streets address the problems of maintaining the rural character of Paia-Haiku and improving the safety of the roads.

The expansion of the water distribution system will allow additional benefits such as recycled use of water for irrigation and provisions for housing expansion in Pala-Haiku.

Recommended improvements to the sewer system at Paia will extend service throughout Pala. There will be some inconvenience to motorists during the installation of service lines to these communities. If found feasible, waste water will be recycled for agricultural use.

Significant capital costs will be required to implement transportation and utility improvements. A portion of these costs could be borne by assessment district participants by the State and Federal grants. The remaining costs will have to be met by the County.

An overall commitment to addressing the energy issue should reduce the dependency of the Island's residents and businesses upon current energy sources and demands.

Support Systems: Human Services Improvements and additions to recreational and cultural programs will expand the range of opportunities for the community to experience new and different concepts. This will also increase County operating costs and may require more community volunteer involvement to provide programs and adequate maintenance. Consideration of user fees may also be required. Knowledge of Hawaiian cultural heritage will be increased as all development projects will be required to inventory and preserve significant archaeological sites within their boundaries. Such sites could be further protected by the installation of landscape buffers between significant archaeological sites and new development. Public efforts to inventory, evaluate, classify and register significant sites will also be encouraged.

Improvement of accessibility and a wider range of health and safety care will result in improved delivery of services. Fire safety will be improved through additional equipment and training.

Coordination with the State Department of Education will be required to fulfill projected community needs of Paia-Haiku.

Housing problems in the region will be addressed in several ways. The use of flexible regulations should result in housing which is more compatible with environmental resources and allow more housing diversity. Provision for single and multi-family units will expand housing opportunities. Coordination of government assistance programs will address problems of housing cost.

Government Recommendations listed in the government section will result in benefits to the development of housing. Of particular importance will be the streamlining of the permitting process; use of incentives; and modifications to building and subdivision codes and standards. These will facilitate the development process and lower housing costs. Delays due to required agency reviews and code provisions unrelated to public health and safety can unnecessarily cause increased housing costs. Although action can be taken to streamline the entire housing development process it is necessary that undesirable environmental effects do not occur. Such effects might be the use of substandard materials which although meeting the intent of code provisions create long term problems of higher maintenance and visual blight.

The Paia-Haiku Community Plan is mandated by the Charter of Maui County (1977) and the Maui County General Plan which was adopted on June 24, 1980 as Ordinance No. 1052. The Maui County General Plan, in turn, is guided by the Hawaii State Plan formulated under the provisions of Chapter 226, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS).

The County General Plan sets forth the broad objectives and policies for the long-range development of the County. The purpose of this Community Plan is to provide a relatively detailed scheme for implementing these objectives and policies relative to the Paia-Haiku region. The desired sequence, patterns and characteristics of future development for the region are described by a map showing the planned distribution and intensity of land uses and public facilities, statements of standards and principles with respect to development and statements indicating the sequence in which future development is to occur.

This Community Plan will provide the County with a decision- making tool to guide development in the region until the year 2000. Updates will occur every five years to incorporate new data and analysis.

The plan elements are organized according to the objectives and policies outlined in the General Plan. The Technical Report which accompanies this Plan ptovides background information for further interpretation of the summary discussions and recommendations which follow. II. PLANNING AREA DESCRIPTION.

The Paia-Haiku region is located along the island of Maui's northern shore, east of Wailuku, the County seat. The boundary of this region runs along Kailua Gulch from the ocean to, but not including, the town of Haliimaile, then crosses over to Kahakapo Gulch up to a point near Hosmer Grove Campground, then back towards the ocean along Waiakamoi Stream, then Oopuela Stream to the shoreline. This boundary encompasses an area of approximate- ly 17,300 acres and includes tax map key zone 2, section 5 through 9.

The major population center is Paia, in the northwest corner of the region, which includes' the communities of Lower Paia, Upper Paia and Kuau. A secondary center is located a few miles to the southeast in the communities of Haiku and Kuiaha. Elsewhere in the region, scattered rural settlements dot the landscape above high sea cliffs and deep gulches.

The primary economic activity is agriculture, predominantly sugar cane production and some pineapple production.' The area sur- rounding Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company's mill in Upper Pala was once a large community comprised of several distinct "camps" inhabited by plantation workers of various national ori- gins. However, the sugar company relocated plantation families to Lower Paia and Wailuku-Kahului many years ago and returned most of this area to cane production. Furthermore, mechanization has led to a decline in the number of jobs in the sugar industry. Population levels have not declined, however, because the Paia area serves to some extent as a bedroom community to the Wailuku-Hakului job center. In addition, the Haiku area has been growing as a popular residential area for people seeking the attractions of a rural setting. III. PLANNING PROCESS

The role of the Community Plan in the sequence of the County's overall planning process is summarized diagrammatically in Exhibit A, below:

The Community Plan can be seen as evolving through four basic stages, as follows:

Data Data 1. Data Collection Collection Analysis 2. Data Analysis

3. Plan Formulation Plan Flan Evaluation Formulation 4. Plan Evaluation

All four stages combine in a cyclical manner to produce an orderly sequence. The process incorporates a feedback cycle which insures that a change in any one element will cause the reconsideration of all other elements. It is this feedback that maintains continuity and the orderly accumulation and refinement of information. This process should serve as a basis upon which the County refines or amends the Community Plan. Public participation played a key role in the preparation of the Community Plan through the first three stages. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) for Paia-Haiku was the focal point for interaction between the consultants and the public as the Plan was being developed. The CAC was created by the County to advise and guide the Planning Director in the formulation of the Commu- nity Plan. The CAC consists of 17 members., of which 9 were appointed by the County Council and 8 by the Mayor. The CAC held a public meeting approximately once a month beginning in January, 1981. The first two meetings were very valuable to the data collection effort with respect to the identification of communi- ty problems, needs and desires. The review and comments by the CAC members and the general public on the consultants' various work products at subsequent meetings during the data analysis and plan formulation stages were also of great assistance. The results of this process and the minutes of CAC meetings are contained in the Technical Report which supplements this Community Plan,

In addition to this vehicle for public participation, the consultants held numerous informal meetings and interviews with various indivi- dual citizens, organizations and governmental agencies concerning the problems and needs of the region and were available for consultation with any citizen who might be concerned with the Community Plan. An communication during this consultation, whether verbal or in writing, was taken into account in the preparation of the Plan.

The policy recommendations in the Community Plan are grouped according to categories found in the County General Plan, but they are organized in a fashion which reflects the sequence of the Community Plan process itself. The organization is shown in Exhibit B.

-5- IV. IDENTIFICATION, CF MAJOR PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The Pala-Haiku region's key assets and problems were identified through intensive working sessions at the first two Citizens Ad- visory Committee (CAC) meetings. Participants were divided into small groups and asked to compile lists of the community's most favorable attributes and most serious problems. These responses were grouped according to the Community Plan categories mentioned earlier and ranked as to their relative importance and frequency of appearance on the lists.

Paia-Haiku residents clearly valued social qualities, such as the community's friendliness and multi-ethnic "small town" atmosphere, and environmental qualities, such as the clean air and coastal waters and pastoral landscape, the most highly amongst the region's attributes.

The region's major problems, as identified by the residents, are listed in order of priority in the summary below.

1. Public Safety was a primary concern, relating specifi- cally to the lack off` adequate fire fighting facilities, including sufficient water pressure for fire hydrants in certain areas, and problems with juvenile delinquency and drug abuse.

2. Education concerns focused principally on the lack of school facilities. In particular, the need for an "upcountry" high school was cited, as well as the upgrading of existing school facilities and the provision of a community library in Pala.

3. Water or, more specifically, the inferior quality of drinking water in some parts of the region was mentioned by residents. Also in this category was the water pressure problem noted above.

4. Land Use rated equally with the above category as a community problem because of the residents' perception of urban encroachment upon agricultural lands and the lack of sufficient land area designated for light industrial and commercial activities which would produce jobs in the region. An additional issue under this category was the lack of choice in agricultural lot sizes.

-6- 5. Transportation rated as the , next category of concern. Dangerous traffic conditions both on heavily-travelled highways and winding rural roads and the lack of bikeways and pedestrian amenities were problems included under this category.

6. Liquid and Solid Waste, Housing, Urban Design and Recreation and Culture followed in approximately that order as problem areas. The first category pertained mostly to the discharge of raw sewage from the Lower Paia outfall. The second area focused on the high cost of housing for the average local resident. The third area dealt with the appearance of the old commercial core of Lower Paia. The final category related to active recreation facilities throughout the region. V. PLANNING STANDARDS AND PRINCIPLES

Certain underlying principles have guided the preparation of the Paia-Haiku Community Plan. A brief discussion of each principle follows:

1. Maintenance of State Land Use Districts

To minimize conflicts between State and County planning processes, the boundaries of the four State Land Use Districts are to be respected to the greatest extent possible in planning for the urban growth of the region. In particular, the boundaries of the State Conservation District remain unchanged. When State Agricul- tural District land is needed to accomodate future urban expan- sion, an effort has been made to protect the potentially most productive of these lands for agricultural purposes.

2. Geographic Concentration of Growth

Public facilities and services are easier and less expensive to provide when urban expansion is incremental and contiguous rather than scattered. A concentrated pattern of development also preserves large tracts for agricultural and conser- vation purposes. Future growth in this region will build upon the existing urban nucleus of Pala Town.

3. Diversification and Controlled Expansion of the Economic Base

An economy based on a single activity is much more vulnerable than one which is based on a wide range of activities. The continuance of sugar cane production as the primary activity is acknowledged, but this is to be complemented by a broader base of agricultural and industrial enterprise.

4. Protection of Environmental Quality

Protection of the shoreline and other natural features, control and avoidance of erosion, flooding and water pollution and other environmental issues are matters of great concern to people of this region. 5. Compliance with State and Federal ,Law The Community Plan must be consistent with applicable laws and regulations of higher levels of government, especially the Hawaii State Plan (Chapter 226, HRS), which sets forth comprehen- sive guidelines and priority directions for the long-range develop- ment of the State. VI. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS

The recommended policies for this Community Plan are expressed in the following written statements under each of the categories listed in Exhibit B, the Implementation Matrix in Exhibit C and the land use and town design criteria maps in Exhibits D and E, respective- ly. Definitions for the proposed land use categories are included as part of Exhibit D. Proposed new or major modifications to existing publicly-supported facilities are also indicated in Exhibit D.

A. Socio-Economic Aspects

1. Economic Activity

a. Maintain agriculture as the primary econom- ic activity, particularly sugar cane and pineapple production.

b. Promote diversified agriculture by expanding agricultural park programs, creating an agricultural land bank and providing techni- cal and financial assistance.

c. Promote the development of the sustained yield forestry industry through feasibility and market studies, pilot projects and tech- nical and financial assistance.

d. Provide for the expansion of industrial em- ployment as a secondary economic activity, particularly heavy industry which is related to the agricultural base, light industries which are oriented to servicing the surround- ing community, and small skilled-craft opera- tions.

2. Population

a. Use a projected resident population of 6,800 over the next 20 years as a guideline for planning county policies and services. b. Retain Paia as the population and employ- ment center of the region with Haiku as a secondary population center.

B. Physical Aspects

1. Environment

a. Establish temporary marine sanctuaries at various points along the shoreline to regu- late fishing activities.

b. Develop a drainage master plan which empha- sizes land management techniques such as the use of natural landscaping, periodic stream and drainage channel maintenance and avoidance of development in flood-prone areas over structural solutions such as the building of artificial stream and drainage channels.

2. Land Use

a. Maintain the current State Conservation Dis- trict boundary.

b. Maintain the current State Agricultural Dis- trict Boundary except- in the following areas of Kuau, Lower Paia and Paia to be designa- ted for Urban District uses: (1) The area between the proposed by-pass road and the existing liana. Highway which is not already within the State Urban District, to be desig- nated for business/commercial use on the Ka,hului side of Baldwin Avenue and for single-family use as far as Holomua Road on the Pauwela side; (2) Approximately seventy- five acres on either side of Baldwin Avenue in the Skill Village area, to be designated for single-family use; (3) Approximately thirty-five acres adjacent to Paia Mill, to be designated for heavy industrial use; and (4) Approximately seven acres bounded by Holomua Road, Hana Highway and the pro- posed by-pass road for park use.

c. Maintain the current State rural District boundary, except for an area of approximate- ly eight acres adjacent to the northeast Rural District boundary in Kokomo. d. Should further land other than that de- scribed above be required to accommodate urban growth, limit State Urban District boundary expansion to areas mauka of the proposed by-pass road along Baldwin Avenue which are contiguous to a State Urban Dis- trict boundary, giving priority to develop- able land with the least agricultural value.

e. Develop, adopt and enforce agricultural and rural zoning categories and subdivision regu- lations, establishing varying minimum lot sizes to reflect the different kinds of agri- cultural land and activities and prevent the improper use of these areas.

f. Restrict Special Permits in the State Agricul- tural and Rural Districts to: (1) limited public and quasi-public uses serving the immediate community in areas such as Koko- mo, Kaupakalua, Ulumalu and Peahi which are relatively remote from the State Urban District area; (2) public facility uses such as utility installation, landfills and sewer treatment plants whose location is deter- mined by technical considerations; (3) uses which are clearly accessory and subordinate to a principal agricultural use on the pro- perty; and (4) extractive industries, ,§uch as quarrying, where the operation does not adversely affect the environment or nearby agricultural uses.

g. Develop, adopt and implement a zoning cate- gory to carry out the intent of the Reserve land use category.

h. Zone property according to its planned use, as indicated on the adopted Community Plan land use maps and underlying assumptions described in the Community Plan Technical Report for the Paia-Haiku Region.

3. Town Design

a. Limit building heights to two stories or thirty (30) feet above grade throughout the region, with the exception of the heavy industrial use area where buildings may exceed this height, subject to design review by the County.

b. Establish design control standards for spe- cial treatment areas in the commercial use areas of Paia Town and Haiku, using the descriptions and illustrations contained in the Technical Report and Exhibit E of this Community Plan as general guidelines.

c. Provide landscape buffering along the makai side of the proposed by-pass road and along the makai and mauka edges of the heavy industrial use area.

d. Provide landscaped area at the two points where the proposed by-pass meets Hana High- way to define an attractive entry to the expanded urbanized area of Paia Town.

C. Support Systems: Transportation and Utilities

1. Transportation

a. Improve traffic conditions in Paia Town by:

(1) Installing a traffic light at the inter- section of Hana Highway and Baldwin Avenue as a near-term measure.

(2) Constructing Hana Belt Road by-pass.

(3) Providing additional off-street parking as a part of new commercial develop- ment in Lower Paia.

(4) Constructing sidewalks with landscap- ing in the commercial area, particular- ly in conjunction with the construction of the by-pass.

(5) Providing bikeways throughout the ex- panded Paia Town area.

b. Improve highway safety through increased maintenance and repair such as more fre- quent re-surfacing and provision of wide, more secure shoulders where there are dan- gerous curves. 2. Water

a. Develop comprehensive agricultural water sys- tem plan, including the potential use of recycled water, and continue the conversion to drip irrigation in sugar cane fields.

b. Improve existing potable water distribution system and develop new potable water sour- ces prior to further expansion of the State Urban District boundary or major subdivi- sion of land in the State Agricultural or Rural Districts.

3. Liquid and Solid Waste

a. Develop and implement a comprehensive li- quid waste management plan to accommodate anticipated land uses and to meet public health requirements.

b. Extend the service area of the sewer system to include the entire State Urban District in the Paia, Lower Paia, and Kuau areas.

c. Develop and implement a comprehensive solid waste management plan to accommodate anti- cipated land uses.

4. Energy

a. Promote the use of alternative energy sour- ces, such as biomass, wind and solar.

b. Develop incentives for energy efficient build- ing design and site development practices.

D. Support Systems: Human Services

1. Recreation and Culture

a. Adopt a beach/mountain access dedication or- dinance pursuant to Chapter 46, H.R.S., and acquire through purchase, dedication or land exchange a public beach access at Kuiaha Bay.

b. Improve maintenance and provide more facili- ties as existing recreation areas, including the old Maui High School.

-14-

c. Expand Hookipa, Lower Paia and Baldwin Parks. d. Provide youth recreation programs, including team sports, archery and tennis. 2. Health No recommendations. 3. Education a.

4. Public Safety

a. Improve or rebuild Paia fire station.

b. Provide a fire station or sub-station in Haiku.

c. Insure adequate water pressure for fire pro- tection, particularly in urbanized areas.

d. Provide more police patrols, especially by beach parks. 5. Housing a. Develop a comprehensive strategy for hous- ing assistance programs which coordinates all available public and private financial resources and incorporates appropriate regu- latory measures.

b. Establish a housing rehabilitation program, including loans, grants and/or technical as- sistance and community outreach. c. Provide sufficient land area for residential development only in appropriate areas near urban facilities in order to discourage land speculation.

-15- E. Government

1. Investigate and pursue ways to streamline the development permit process through means such as consolidating public hearings and concurrent pro- cessing of applications.

2. Explore the use of incentives such as "fast- tracking" and the assignment of permit expeditors for projects which will result in unusual public benefits.

3. Develop building and subdivision codes and stand- ards which are appropriate to rural areas in order to reduce costs of development.

4. Utilize the County' s budgeting process as a means to carry out the policies and priorities of the Community Plan.

5. Utilize the County 's real property tax assessment function as both a means to carry out the policies and priorities of the Community Plan and a mecha- nism for monitoring and updating the Community Plan.

6. Establish a permanent Citizens Advisory Committee to assist in the monitoring and updating of the Community Plan.

-16- VII. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

The implementation of this Plan's recommendations will determine its success. It is the purpose of this section to detail each recommendation as to type, responsibility and occurrence within the time dimension of the Plan. This information is presented on the following Implementation Matrix (see Exhibit C).

Implementation actions are of two types. First are those which the County of Maui, through its Planning Department and other departments, can implement directly. They are referred to as DIR- ECT COUNTY ACTIONS and may require a capital expenditure in the case of a major improvement, maintenance of operations, or the preparation of a detailed study or master plan. Implementation of the land use recommendations are the responsibility of the Plan- ning Department. The range of actions includes changes in codes or adopting procedures and the initiation of zoning designations of land for consistency with its current or planned use. Other direct County actions may be carried out by County agencies in accord- ance with County Charter provisions. For example, the Department of Human Concerns is responsible for recommendations dealing with housing programs.

Implementing actions which entail INDIRECT COUNTY ACTIONS are dependent on the use of "good offices" or persuasiveness in order for them to be realized. The County departments which should provide this persuasion are not specified in Exhibit C, but the levels of government, Federal or State, or private entity to whom the action should be directed is shown.

The actions occur over a twenty year period, the time dimension of this Plan. The Matrix illustrates when each action should take place within this period. There are five-year blocks for the first half of the period, which correspond to the five-year Community Plan updates mandated by the County Charter. The latter half is a ten-year block since it is relatively more difficult to pinpoint the timing of a proposed action which is more distant in the future. It is expected that more specificity will be provided at the time of the first or second five-year update to the Community Plan.

The social, economic and environmental effects of this proposed Community Plan are discussed in detail in Section III of the Technical Report for the Paia-Haiku region. In general, the effects of the Community Plan are expected to be positive in all of these reports .

They would be positive with respect to social aspects since the Plan attempts to reflect as accurately as possible the goals and desires of Hana ' s residents for their community as- expressed through numerous public meetings held in 1975 during the prepara- tion of the proposed amendments to the General Plan for the Paia District, as well as through the Citizens Advisory Committee meetings in 1977 and 1981. The Community Plan directs the region's future residential and employment growth primarily to the Paia Town area, which will promote the realization of many of the residents' stated high priority goals for the region ; namely, the construction, of a Hana Highway by-pass road, the improvement of educational and recreational facilities in the Paia area, the revitalization of the old commercial core of Lower Paia and the diversification of the region's economic base, including agriculturally-based industries related to Paia Mill.

A geographitally concentrated pattern of development will have economic benefits in addition to those mentioned above. For example, less combined public and private capital investment in development will be required. The effect of these savings will be most significant in the area of housing construction. Moreover, the cost of providing essential public services such as education, health care and police and fire protection will be lower.

Because travel requirements will be minimized by a more compact development pattern, energy consumption and air pollution levels will be reduced. Another major environmental benefit will be the protection of natural reserves, watersheds and large tracts of productive • agricultural land from urban encroachment. While some agricultural land will inevitably be required to accommodate urban growth in this region, the areas selected for future urban use under this Plan are the least valuable because of inherent physical qualities or production inefficiencies. The proposed Community Plan map is in general agreement with the existing zoning map which was adopted for the Lower Paia area in 1968 as Ordinance No. 550. The major discrepancy is found in the shoreline area near Baldwin Park where hotel and visitor-oriented condominium uses would be permitted by the present zoning. Unlike this zoning map, the proposed Community Plan is based on an overall projection of economic activity and population for the region through the year 2000, which predicts no visitor accommoda- tion units. Therefore, the land use element of the Plan does not include any designations for hotel or resort condominium use.

In conclusion, the Community Plan is expected to have a positive effect on the region because it attempts to reflect as accurately as possible the current desires and goals of the residents for the future of their community. It does so in a manner which promotes an efficient pattern of land development based on economic fore- casts and environmental constraints. LAND USE CATEGORIES

Conservation (C)

This use is to protect and preserve wilderness areas, open spaces, beach reserves, scenic areas and historic sites, open ranges, watersheds and water supplies; to conserve fish and wildlife; and to promote forestry and grazing. It is intended that all lands designated as Conservation be governed by the requirements and procedures of Chapter 205 HRS, as amended, and administered by the State Depart- ment of Land and Natural Resources.

Rural (R)

This use is to protect and preserve areas consisting of small farms intermixed with low-density single-family resi- dential lots. It is intended that, at minimum, the require- ments of Chapter 205 HRS, as amended, shall govern this area.

Agricultural (AG)

This use is to provide areas for agricultural development which would be in keeping with the economic base of the County and the requirements and procedures of Chapter 205 HRS, as amended. It is also expected that the County will impose more stringent requirements on these areas to ensure their use for agriculture.

Reserve (RE) This is for areas within the State Urban District which have low priority for urban development because of environment concerns, such as natural hazard and resource areas, archaeo- logical sites, and other considerations, or the costs entailed with development because of lack of nearby or adequate public facilities and services.

Single-Family Residential (SF) This includes single-family detached and duplex dwellings.

Multi-Family Residential (MF) This includes apartment and condominium buildings having more than two dwellings.

-23- Business/Commercial (B)

This includes retail stores, offices, entertainment enterprises and their accessory uses.

Light Industrial Use (LI)

This is for warehousing and service and craft-type industrial operations.

Heavy Industrial Use (HI) This is for major industrial operations whose effects are potentially noxious due to noise, airborne emissions or liquid discharges.

Hotel/Resort (H) This applies to transient accommodations which may or may not contain kitchens within individual living units and may include a restaurant or small shops serving hotel guests.

Public/Quasi Public (P)

This includes schools, libraries, fire/police stations, govern- ment office buildings, public utilities, hospitals, churches, cemeteries, and community centers.

Park (PK) This includes all public active and passive parks.

Airport (AP)

This includes all commercial and general aviation airports.
