WELCOME


The Department of Planning and Permitting, Planning Division, helps establish, promote, and implement long-range planning programs for Honolulu which reflect the community's values, priorities, and visions for the future. It is responsible for the framework that coordinates planned population and land use growth with supportive infrastructure improvements.

The Planning Division is responsible for maintaining and updating the Oahu General Plan, regional Development/Sustainable Communities Plans, Development Plan Land Use Annual Reports, Special Area and Neighborhood Master Plans. The Planning Division also provides research and statistical information related to Oahu's population, land use, and employment.


TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM


While the Honolulu Rail Transit project is moving ahead under the
direction of the Department of Transportation Services, we at DPP
are planning for the anticipated growth and change around its
transit stations. Transit and TOD can positively affect the way we
commute and the way we live. The goal of each community-based TOD Plan is to identify such opportunities and lay the foundation for its area's success.

WAIPAHU NEIGHBORHOOD TOD PLAN
Two transit stations are to be located along Farrington Highway in Waipahu, bringing exciting economic opportunities to one of our more established and heritage-rich communities. This Neighborhood TOD Plan is our first in a series of planning efforts for all station areas. The Public Review Draft is available for review. The deadline to provide comment has been extended to August 7, 2009.

EAST KAPOLEI NEIGHBORHOOD TOD PLAN
Planning for land development around the three transit stations in East Kapolei has begun. The location of these stations on the greenfields of Ewa presents a great opportunity to explore and develop optimal TOD land use patterns. Please join us at Community Workshop 2 on Wednesday, July 15, 2009.
