SCR 39 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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.

SCR 39 is a non-binding resolution urging Maui County's Planning Department to keep the word "require" in the South Maui Community Plan regarding infrastructure. It seeks to ensure new development projects cannot proceed without first completing necessary infrastructure like roads, water systems, and sewer capacity. This resolution directly affects Maui County's planning decisions and aims to prevent overdevelopment that could strain community resources. The resolution does not change existing law but requests the Planning Department maintain current infrastructure requirements to support sustainable growth.
