How development applications are reviewed

Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗

This section says that when the county reviews requests for zone changes or other development approvals, it uses the Koolau Poko Sustainable Communities Plan as a guide. Decisions depend on how well the project supports that plan. The director may also review other land improvement applications to help the responsible agency decide if the project fits the plan.

The review of applications for zone changes and other development approvals will be guided by the vision of the Koolau Poko SCP. Decisions on all proposed developments will be based on the extent to which the project enabled by the development approval supports the policies and guidelines of the Koolau Poko SCP.
