Urging The City And County Of Honolulu To Use The Waianae Sustainable Communities Plan, Including Any Updates That May Be Enacted By Ordinance, When Approving Planning Permits Issued For Developments On The Waianae Coast.

Impact

The passage of HCR154 could lead to a more structured and strategic approach to development in a region known for its rich cultural heritage. By insisting on the incorporation of the Waianae Sustainable Communities Plan, the resolution seeks to mitigate the negative impacts of new developments on surrounding communities and infrastructure. It proposes a comprehensive view of local development that takes into account both the needs for growth and the preservation of local culture and historical sites.

Summary

HCR154 is a House Concurrent Resolution urging the City and County of Honolulu to adhere to the WaiAnae Sustainable Communities Plan when approving planning permits for developments on the Waianae Coast. This resolution emphasizes the importance of utilizing this existing plan, which was adopted in 2012 by the Honolulu City Council, as a guide for future developments in the area. The Resolution aims to enhance community input and ensure that future developments align with the historical and cultural significance of the Waianae Coast.

Contention

Potential areas of contention surrounding HCR154 include arguments related to the balance between economic development and the preservation of local heritage. Proponents argue that adhering to the sustainable plan is essential for maintaining the unique identity of the Waianae Coast, whereas opponents may contend that such constraints could hinder necessary development and infrastructure improvements. Furthermore, discussions may arise over how strictly the City and County should interpret and apply the guidelines established in the sustainable communities plan.
