Ward Neighborhood Master Plan
PBR HAWAII & ASSOCIATES, INC. dba PBR HAWAII has been contracted by the Hawai‘i Community Development Authority (HCDA) to obtain public input on the Ward Neighborhood Master Plan using the worldwide web.
General Growth Properties (GGP) is seeking approval from the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) for a proposed Ward Neighborhood Master Plan for its lands in the Kaka‘ako District. The Kaka‘ako District Mauka Area rules contain provisions for "master plans" to encourage timely development, reduce the economic cost of development, allow for the orderly planning and implementation of public and private development projects, and provide a reasonable degree of certainty in the development approval process." Further intended benefits include the derivation of public benefits which would not otherwise be required from private developers and greater flexibility in the development of lots.
GGP's Kaka‘ako lands are centrally located in the south-eastern portion of the Kaka‘ako District and the Master Plan area includes approximately 60 acres of land. The Master Plan area, called the Ward Neighborhood, will be a large, mixed-use development with an emphasis on retail, office and residential uses with supportive services. The proposed Plan's major design objectives include provision of connected public spaces, redesign of Auahi Street as a pedestrian promenade, preservation of Mauka-Makai view corridors and an enhanced roadway network with canopy trees and pedestrian amenities. Existing uses in the Master Plan area currently comprises 1.2 million square feet of floor area. At full build-out, the Master Plan proposes to construct a total of 9.2 million square feet of floor area.
HCDA is seeking feedback from the community on the Ward Master Plan. HCDA staff intends to prepare a Staff report on the Ward Master Plan that will include the community feedback and make the report available to the public before holding a public hearing. A public hearing on the proposed Ward Master Plan will be held in the near future.
State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2008 Update
PBR HAWAII has also been contracted by the State of Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) State Parks to obtain public input on the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2008 Update.
An update to the SCORP is required every five years for Hawai‘i to receive federal grant funds through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Program. The primary goal of the SCORP is to identify outdoor recreation trends, demands, needs, and issues and develop a plan to meet the needs and resolve the issues.
Public input is critically important in developing an understanding the recreational trends and challenges for the state. Your participation in the recreation user survey will help us determine the best way to use LWCF grant funds to meet Hawai‘i’s outdoor recreation needs. By completing this survey, you will assist in determining public demand for outdoor recreation resources and facilities and identifying the most important recreation issues that the State and Counties need to address.
