This section says that when the city reviews requests for zone changes or other development approvals, it must use the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities Plan (SCP) as a guide. Decisions must be based on how well the project supports the SCP's policies and guidelines. The director can also review other land improvement applications to help the responsible agency make that decision.

The review of applications for zone changes and other development approvals will be guided by the vision of the East Honolulu SCP. Decisions on all proposed developments must be based on the extent to which the project, enabled by the development approval, supports the policies and guidelines of the East Honolulu SCP. The director may review other applications for improvements to land, to help the responsible agency determine whether a proposed improvement supports the policies and guidelines of the East Honolulu SCP.
