Appendix V4b: Community Building Analysis
1 APPENDIX V4B: COMMUNITY BUILDING ANALYSIS 2 Introduction 3 Purpose 4 This appendix summarizes the background information that informs consideration of alternative 5 strategies in the CDP Chapter IV2: Preserve and Strengthen Community Character. This is the second of 6 three substantive analyses (‘Āina, Community, Economy). 7 Importantly, this appendix is NOT the Hāmākua CDP; instead, for each of Hāmākua’s resource 8 management priorities, this appendix does four things: 9 . Outlines existing policy, especially County policy established in the General Plan; 10 . Summarizes related, past planning and studies; 11 . Introduces alternative strategies available to achieve Hāmākua’s community objectives; 12 . Preliminarily identify feasible strategy directions. 13 In other words, this appendix sets the context for identifying preferred CDP strategies. Existing policy 14 provides the framework in which the CDP is operating, related plans identify complementary initiatives, 15 and alternative strategies introduce the “tool box” from which the CDP can choose the best tools for the 16 CDP Planning Area. 17 Overview 18 The focus of this appendix is on the Planning Area’s towns, villages and settlement areas, including 19 Wainaku/Kaiwiki, Pauka‘a, Pāpa‘ikou, Pepe‘ekeo, Honomū, Wailea/Hakalau, Nīnole, 20 Pāpa‘aloa/Laupāhoehoe, ‘O‘ōkala, Pa‘auilo, Honoka‘a, Kukuihaele, and homestead areas and the 21 regulations, infrastructure, and strategies that impact their future. 22 This appendix complements Appendices V4A and V4C, which focus on natural and cultural resource 23 management and local economic development, respectively. In those appendices, issues related to but 24 distinct from strengthening Hāmākua’s villages, towns, and settlement areas are discussed in greater 25 detail, including historic preservation, coastal development, access and trails, commercial development, 26 tourism, and community-based, collaborative action.
