URGING THE MAUI COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO RETAIN THE WORD "REQUIRE" IN THE SOUTH MAUI COMMUNITY PLAN AS IT RELATES TO INFRASTRUCTURE TO ENSURE THAT DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT OCCUR WITHOUT ADEQUATE SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE.

This resolution urges Maui County's Planning Department to retain the word "require" in the South Maui Community Plan regarding infrastructure. It ensures new development projects must have essential infrastructure (like roads, water systems, and sewer capacity) completed before occupancy. The resolution addresses community concerns about overdevelopment, traffic, environmental strain, and costly retrofits if infrastructure isn't built upfront. It is a non-binding request, not a law, directed at county planning officials.
