The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Kihei-Makena transportation plan

A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

The Kihei-Makena transportation plan shall be comprised of the following parts: A. Transportation Planning Model. A transportation planning model study shall be established by a licensed professional engineer and made a part of this chapter. The transportation planning model shall be reviewed by the county department of planning not later than upon the fifth year from its adoption by resolution of the county council and every five years thereafter. The model shall be updated every five years or as needed. The transportation planning model is not intended as a prediction device. It is to provide a fair and equitable method of sharing growth-related costs of roadway improvement and to form the basis for a roadway master plan. The components of the transportation planning model utilized in this chapter shall contain the following parts: 1. Baseline data to assess the quality of traffic operations on the existing road network in the Kihei-Makena region. Information required includes roadway geometrics, intersection geometrics, number of vehicular travel lanes, traffic volumes, travel times and traffic flow patterns; 2. Land use data, including the Maui county general plan, Kihei-Makena community plan, proposed new developments and amendments to the Maui county general plan and Kihei-Makena community plan, and the areas in which the existing zoning is not in conformity with the Kihei-Makena community plan; 3. Trip generation computation based on the number of vehicular trips generated by types of land uses and land developments based on standards adopted by the institute of transportation engineers, as may be adjusted for local conditions; 4. Trip distribution which breaks region into definable traffic zones for purposes of determining the number of trips distributed among the various zones; 5. Trip assignment or the assignment of trips for various zones on the specific roadways or routes. B. Base Year Road Network System. The plan shall also establish a road network system to satisfactorily accommodate the traffic demand for the base year at a quality of operation of level of service "D", as defined in "Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209" 1985, prepared by the transportation research board, national research council, Washington, D.C. C. Roadway Master Plan for Kihei-Makena. There shall be prepared a roadway master plan for Kihei-Makena which shall be made a part of this chapter, and shall include the following information: 1. All existing arterial highways, streets, local roads and collector roads, including rights of way; 2. Description of all new roadway rights-of-way widths and number of travel lanes; 3. Description of all new intersection improvements, including left turn storage lanes, right turn lanes, and traffic signal systems; 4. Description of all new roadway facilities (i.e., circulation patterns and routes). The objective of the roadway master plan for Kihei-Makena shall be to attain, at a minimum, an operating roadway capacity level of service "D," Highway Capacity Manual, on all major roads within the Kihei-Makena region. Both the roadway master plan for Kihei-Makena and base year road network system shall be reviewed by the county department of planning annually during the month of January. Both the plan and road system shall be amended, if necessary, to conform with the Kihei-Makena community plan and shall be a projection of traffic and roadway improvements to the year 2000. The review shall consider recent trip generation rates, and construction costs for work constructed by the state of Hawaii and/or county of Maui for roadway improvements on the island of Maui. The review should analyze the effects of inflation on the costs of roadway construction and insure the impact fees charged and reasonably related to the need for roads generated by such activity. Amendments to the roadway master plan for Kihei-Makena and the base year road network system shall be incorporated in the Kihei-Makena transportation plan through amendment of the ordinance adopting the Kihei-Makena transportation plan, as set forth in section 14.68.060 . (Ord. 1880 § 1 (part), 1989)
