West Kauai Community Plan

The West Kauaʻi Community Plan (WKCP) was adopted in 2018. The WKCP guides the long-term development, growth, and maintenance of communities in the Waimea-Kekaha and Hanapēpē-‘Ele‘ele districts.  The WKCP consists of area-wide goals, policies, and implementation actions concerning land use, town character, shared spaces, circulation, and infrastructure.

Elements of the plan include:

• Policies to strengthen town cores and provide infill and affordable housing.

• Support for preserving the historic form and character of rural towns.

• Identification of areas projected to be impacted by sea level rise hazards. 

• Priorities for “safe routes” to improve circulation and encourage pedestrian and bicycle transportation.
