Aloha Michael,
Thank you for reaching out. The current 2000 General Plan is now posted on the website under the Plan –> Resources tab.
The project team (comprised by County Planning Department staff and consultants) collects community input regarding policy recommendations for the General Plan update and integrates it with data and technical studies that were completed for the GP.
The community provides input regarding island-wide issues and recommendations for addressing them through county policy or projects. The General Plan is the community’s vision for addressing growth on Kaua‘i. The process also involves a Citizens Advisory Committee including representatives island wide.
The community will have opportunities to provide input throughout the process:
– During the first round of community meetings this month;
– By attending regular meetings of the Citizens Advisory Committee (open to the public and schedules/agendas posted online);
– Digital engagement through social media and the website;
– Direct e-mail at plankauai@kauai.gov;
The Draft Plan is expected to be released for public review and comment during the Summer of 2016, after which it is revised and submitted to Planning Commission, followed by County Council.
We have updated the website with more details on the process since your initial comment, and have also posted the community meeting overview presentation and agenda. Please take a look at the website and feel free to be in touch with any feedback at plankauai@kauai.gov.
Mahalo.
