Public hearing re. Departmental Draft of General Plan update set for Jan. 31
LĪHU‘E – The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at the end of January
regarding “Kaua‘i Kakou”, the Departmental Draft of the General Plan update.
The hearing will be held during the Commission’s Jan. 31 meeting, starting at 9 a.m., at
the Līhu‘e Civic Center, Mo‘ikeha Building, Meeting Rooms 2A and 2B.
Oral or written testimony will be accepted during the hearing. Written testimony can also
be submitted to the Planning Commission at plankauai@kauai.gov.
A presentation and educational workshop on the Departmental Draft will also be part of
the meeting.
To download the draft, please go to www.plankauai.com. A printed copy is also available
for review at the Planning Department’s front counter.
“The Departmental Draft of the General Plan Update is the culmination of 20 months of
public input and a two-year planning process,” said Planning Director Michael Dahilig. “I would
like to acknowledge the many community members, stakeholders, and agencies who shared
their concerns, ideas, and vision for Kaua‘i’s future. A big mahalo also goes to the Citizen’s
Advisory Committee who advised the Planning Department throughout the process.”
The General Plan serves to guide future growth through a vision, policies, and maps.
Upon approval, the Departmental Draft will update the existing General Plan.
