Department of Planning & Permitting > Planning > Development/Sustainable Communities Plans

The Development Plans are required by City Charter. Together with the General Plan, they guide population and land use growth over a 20+-year time span. As part of the annual city budget process, all capital improvement projects are reviewed to determine if they are consistent with the respective Development Plan. Development Plans are also intended to guide City land use approvals and permits and influence private sector investment decisions.

Oahu is divided into eight planning areas. Each area has a Development Plan which is adopted by City Council ordinance and administered by the Department of Planning and Permitting.
