Regulating Paradise by David L. Callies Pdf

Land use in Hawai‘i remains the most regulated of all the fifty states. According to many sources, the process of going from raw land to the completion of a project may well average ten years given that ninety-five percent of raw land is initially classified by the State Land Use Commission as either conservation or agriculture. How did this happen and to what end? Will it continue? What laws and regulations control the use of land? Is the use of land in Hawai‘i a right or a privilege? These questions and others are addressed in this long-overdue second edition of Regulating Paradise, a comprehensive and accessible text that will guide readers through the many layers of laws, plans, and regulations that often determine how land is used in Hawai‘i. It provides the tools to analyze an enormously complex process, one that frustrates public and private sectors alike, and will serve as an essential reference for students, planners, regulators, lawyers, land use professionals, environmental and cultural organizations, and others involved with land use and planning.

Preserving Paradise by David L. Callies Pdf

¿A thought-provoking and well-researched commentary on the impact of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council on Hawaii land-use policies.¿ ¿Harold S. Matsumoto, Director of Planning, State of Hawai`i ¿Startling, provocative. . . . It should be read by all land developers, government regulators, and citizens who care about preserving paradise.¿ ¿Kent M. Keith, President, Chaminade University; Former Director of Planning, State of Hawai`i ¿Useful and succinct. . . a needed clarion call for a more appropriate balance between regulation and pro-active planning. Those who dislike the message that Hawaii can no longer rely so heavily on regulation to preserve the Islands¿ resources and exact `public benefits¿ from developers would, nevertheless, be foolish to ignore it.¿ ¿John P. Whalen, Former Director, Department of Land Utilization, City and County of Honolulu ¿A major contribution of this book is that it presents several alternatives to regulatory taking for preserving environmental quality. . . . While this book focuses on the Hawaiian experience, it offers much for planners and lawyers everywhere.¿ ¿Anthony James Catanese, President and Professor, Florida Atlantic University ¿Callies has again provided a comprehensive review of Hawaii¿s land-use regulatory process. . . . He has presented his point of view that for legal and policy reasons this regulatory system will not effectively preserve what is unique and important about Hawaii.¿ ¿Dan Davidson, Executive Director, Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii

A major revision of a classic planning text. This book contains a complete model subdivision ordinance for city and county governments as well as more than 100 pages of legal commentary. The model regulations are generally compatible with all state statutes and work in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

The authors explore the rationale for using various regulations, basing their arguments on existing statutory authority, case law, and federal constitutional requirements. The commentary identifies and explains changes from the original model regulations. Whether you're drafting new regulations or considering amendments to existing ones, you'll find Model Subdivision Regulations to be an invaluable reference.

Developing a Dream Destination by James Mak Pdf

Developing a Dream Destination is an interpretive history of tourism and tourism policy development in Hawai‘i from the 1960s to the twenty-first century. Part 1 looks at the many changes in tourism since statehood (1959) and tourism’s imprint on Hawai‘i. Part 2 reviews the development of public policy toward tourism, beginning with a story of the planning process that started around 1970—a full decade before the first comprehensive State Tourism Plan was crafted and implemented. It also examines state government policies and actions taken relative to the taxation of tourism, tourism promotion, convention center development and financing, the environment, Honolulu County’s efforts to improve Waikiki, and how the Neighbor Islands have coped with explosive tourism growth. Along the way, author James Mak offers interpretations of what has worked, what has not, and why. He concludes with a chapter on the lessons learned while developing a dream destination over the past half century.
