CDP Structure
The CDP is structured as outlined above.
Chapter I, The Ka`u Community Development Plan, is the document that will eventually be adopted by ordinance by the County Council. The intent is to keep the CDP as concise and accessible as possible, leaving supporting material and analysis elsewhere.
Chapters II, III, and IV are supplementary materials designed to expedite CDP implementation.
Materials in Chapters V1, V2, V3, and V4 of the appendix set the context for and provide the detailed analysis behind the body of the CDP. Therefore, they were the first to be completed.
Chapter V5 includes the rationale behind each of the County Policies and Advocacy items in the CDP.
