The Primary Urban Center Development Plan presents a vision and a clear set of planning policies for Oahu's most diverse and populous region, an area extending from Kahala to Pearl City across the valleys and coastline plains that characterize the island's southern coastline.

The Plan seeks to enhance lifestyle choices for our residents; provide business and economic development opportunities for present and future enterprises; and enhance the attractiveness of our city and its many neighborhoods for those who live and visit here.

The Plan is designed as a general framework intended to support more detailed planning at the neighborhood level. It provides clear, conceptual, long-range policies for topics of concern to all of the region's communities: from the prosperity of our City and the livability of our neighborhoods to how we all relate to our natural surroundings - while allowing the details of community character, appearance, organization, and specific programs or improvements to be determined by those neighborhoods wishing to do so.

While every attempt has been made to assure the accuracy of the information presented in these files, they are not the official version of the plan as filed with the Office of the City Clerk, City and County of Honolulu.
