What the Central Oahu plan covers and its purpose

(a) The Central Oahu SCP area encompasses the upland plateau between the Waianae and the Koolau Mountain Ranges. The area includes the towns of Waipahu, Mililani, and Wahiawa and their surrounding communities. (b) It is the intent of the Central Oahu SCP to provide a guide for orderly and coordinated public and private sector development in the Central Oahu SCP area in a manner that is consistent with applicable general plan provisions, including the designation of Central Oahu as an urban fringe area, which is to be developed to relieve development pressures in the remaining urban fringe and rural areas, and to meet housing needs not readily provided in the primary urban center. (c) The provisions of this article and the Central Oahu SCP are not regulatory. Rather, they are established with the explicit intent of providing a coherent vision to guide resource protection and land use development for Central Oahu, public investment in infrastructure, zoning and other regulatory procedures, and the preparation of the city’s annual capital improvement program budget.
