What the Primary Urban Center Development Plan covers and means

(a) The Primary Urban Center Development Plan includes the coastal plain that extends along O‘ahu’s southern shore from Wa‘alae-Kāhala in the east to Pearl City in the west, and from the shoreline to the westerly slopes of the Ko‘olau mountain range. (b) It is the intent of the Primary Urban Center Development Plan to provide a guide for orderly and coordinated public and private sector development in a manner that is consistent with applicable general plan provisions, including the full development of the Primary Urban Center through higher-density redevelopment in urban areas designated for such uses, and the concentration of economic activity and government services. (c) This article and the Primary Urban Center Development Plan are not regulatory. Rather, they are established with the explicit intent of providing a coherent vision to guide all new public and private sector development within the Primary Urban Center. This article guides any development for the Primary Urban Center, public investment in infrastructure, zoning and other regulatory procedures, and the preparation of the city’s annual capital improvement program budget.
