Aloha Planning Department, 

 

The final draft of the Big Island general plan does not support the future of Big Island, nor does it clearly define what you want to do. It should be revised or thrown-out and redone. 

 

The current general plan looks like it will further regulate and fine the public, limit travel, cluster people into dense housing and more. It has no conclusive plan to help communities prosper. 

 

The main structure of the plan is "Sustainability" when it should be "Innovation". We want to move toward thriving communities, environmental support and economic alternatives that support farmers and homeowners and not put people in boxes while over-regulating them. 

 

The general plan you have is modeled throughout the United States/Mainland with the exact same words like: cluster, stakeholder, buffer zones, change codes, amend and more! 

 

How is it possible that it was created by the Big Island Planning Department when so many other General Plans around the country have the same language?

 

Please review the attached PDF and revise the general plan accordingly. 

 

Much Mahalo

Stop Fascism On Big Island!

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

 
The Hawaiʻi County Council Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use, and Development discussed the following measures:

  • Bill 121, which repeals sections in the code relating to Short-term Vacation Rentals and establishes new provisions for Transient Accommodation Rentals (TARs) and Housing Platforms for TARs.

  • Bill 122, which repeals all provisions that allow for Bed and Breakfast establishments.

  • Bill 123, which removes each instance of the term “ʻohana dwelling” from the County Code and inserts the term “accessory dwelling unit”, and adds provisions for the establishment of an accessory dwelling unit.

 

They sent these bills to the planning commissions, after hearing hours of public testimony, most in opposition. Read more

 

The people's voice was NO! Hawaii County Council perjured their oath of office and violated the Constitution!

  4. Get all 9 pdfs notarized (free at the bank)
