ROH §24-6.5

How city actions must match the Koolau Poko plan

Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗

This section says all city agencies must follow the Koolau Poko Sustainable Communities Plan (SCP) when doing their work. Public projects and subdivision or zoning rules must match the plan. If there is a conflict, the existing rules stay in effect until they are changed. The city council decides any questions about whether a project fits the plan.
