TO AMEND THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO IDENTIFY THE SECONDARY URBAN CENTER IN EWA BY THE NAME OF KAPOLEI.

    WHEREAS, the General Plan of the City and County of Honolulu is a comprehensive policy guide for the development of Oahu over the next 20 years and should be amended to reflect the current public vision for Honolulu; and

    WHEREAS, the General Plan currently provides for:

    a.    the development of a secondary urban center in the West Beach-Makakilo area to relieve development pressures in the urban-fringe and rural areas,

    b.    the development of a major residential, commercial and employment center within the secondary urban center,

    c.    the allocation of funds from the capital improvement program for public projects that are needed to bring about the development of the West Beach-Makakilo area as a secondary urban center,

    d.    the coordination of development plans of the secondary urban center with the State and Federal governments and with the sugar industry, and

    e.    the provision of government services to the West Beach-Makakilo secondary urban center; and

    WHEREAS, public and private development proposals have evolved which identify the focus of the secondary urban center in the West Beach-Makakilo as Kapolei and Kapolei Village; and

    WHEREAS, there is a need to give this emerging secondary urban center an appropriate name and a "sense of place" especially since considerable development is anticipated there during the next 20 years--the time horizon of the current General Plan; and

    WHEREAS, the name Kapolei is appropriately associated with the Pu'u o kapolei, the prominent volcanic mound which arises out of the Ewa plain in the vicinity of this emerging secondary urban center; now, therefore,


    BE IT RESOLVED that in compliance with Section 5-412 of the Revised Charter, Resolution No. 82-188, Amended Draft No. 2 (adopted December 8, 1982) as amended, relating to the General Plan of the City and County of Honolulu, be amended in the manner shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof.

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that the Clerk is hereby directed to transmit this Resolution to the Mayor for approval, as prescribed in Section 5-412 of the Revised Charter; and


    BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that this Resolution shall take effect upon its approval pursuant to Section 5-412 of the Revised Charter.
