The new Kauai General Plan proposes town designations, re-zonings, up-zonings and entirely new zoning categories for the benefit of large landowners and developers.
Is this the future you want for Kaua`i?
Who We Are

Community Coalition Kaua’i (CCK) was formed in the Summer 2016 to specifically track the process of the new General Plan for Kaua’i. CCK was borne out of the common concern of many individuals from around the island that they were not being adequately heard through the County’s choreographed public input process.

The Vision

Imagine an island where basic needs like housing and access to a diversity of income generation opportunities are available for all.  Imagine a self-sufficient island with a farm to table food economy.  Imagine an island that represents a living model of our rich Hawaiian cultural heritage that honors both keiki and kupuna.

Fix the Plan!

For Kauai’s Future, for our Keiki.

THE COUNTY OF KAUA’I NEW GENERAL PLAN DOES NOT REPRESENT THE URGENT NEEDS, FUTURE DESIRES, OR EXTENSIVE INPUT OF THE RESIDENTS OF KAUA’I.

We, the undersigned, urge the Kaua’i County Council to return the General Plan to the Planning Department to develop a General Plan that first and  foremost reflects the urgent needs, interests and quality of life factors that the residents of Kaua’i require and deserve.

  1. The new General Plan proposes no framework and no serious actions to manage the growth that threatens our island.
  2. The new General Plan is inconsistent
    a) in its portrayal of policies to guide growth
    b) in the data on population projections and visitor use
    c) in proposed new growth areas reflected in the designated land use maps.As a result, changes to land use zoning and major developments are proposed for communities that do not support these actions. Major development proposals should be determined through local community planning process.
  3. The new General Plan contains no significant implementation plan and consequently is not binding, nor is there any accountability.

We do not need a General Plan that was written by and for developers and the tourism industry.

We do need a General Plan that will create balanced, sustainable growth, diversified job opportunities, and will protect Kaua’i’s environment, rural character and quality of life.
