Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use, and Economic Development

Ang Policy Committee on Planning, Land Use, and Economic Development of the Hawaii County Council reviews zoning ordinances, general plan amendments, community development plan updates, and pagpapaunlad ng ekonomiya initiatives for the Big Island. Isinasaalang-alang nito ang major land-use changes, affordable housing ordinances, and the county's long-range planning framework. Ang committee coordinates with the county Planning Department and Planning Commissions on land policy.

Zoning and land-use decisions made through this committee determine what gets built in your district — from large resort developments to affordable housing projects and agricultural subdivisions. Testifying at committee before a vote is often a resident's best opportunity to influence the final decision.
