The purpose and intent of this chapter is to establish an improved process to update the general plan and community plans. This chapter is designed to provide plans that clearly identify provisions that are meant to be policy guidelines and provisions that are intended to have the force and effect of law; to implement and enforce plans through prioritization and accountability; to empower advisory committees; to place more emphasis on island-wide and inter-regional issues; to encourage more frequent updates of plans and to establish deadlines for completion; and to increase public and community participation in the planning process.
