Good news! Yesterday the Honolulu City Planning Commission approved the city's Ko'olau Loa Sustainable Communities Plan (KSCP) amendment. The commission's decision yesterday was a follow up to the public hearing held in March by the planning panel.

After a short presentation by the city's Department of Planning & Permitting (DPP), commission members asked questions of DPP staff.

  

The commission also discussed various aspects of the city's plan that allows for moderate growth and balance in Ko'olauloa over the next 25 years.

  

After discussion, the planning panel decided to approve the KSCP, with a few conditions to help provide greater clarity to the plan.

The KSCP now moves to the Honolulu City Council for a series of public hearings, and ultimately decision making. We'll keep you informed as public hearings are scheduled at the council.

We're grateful to the many residents who have been involved in the public input process as the plan moves forward.

Mahalo,

The Envision Lā'ie Team
