Rob,
Yes, that is exactly my point. That 200-250,000 population is what needs to be figured on. What is projected for 50-100 years from now. THAT IS PLANNING. Not that BS General Plan map that exists. That is why I call the County gov't lazy and short-sighted.
The County should start creating a serious traffic circulation plan and start to create easements while the build-out is only 20%, not wait until it gets easier*. It will NEVER get easier than it is now.
In my armchair quarterback view of the map of Puna, I see a need for 3 primary traffic arteries parallel with hwy. 11 and 3 parallel with hwy. 130, to really handle the future needs.
After the traffic circulation plan is figured out, then zoning and other infrastructure can be addressed.
I think that all of the community input is nice, but only serves to placate the citizenry. This should be addressed by PROFESSIONALS.
If the County is going to continue on it's current course of broad-brush zoning with SUPs, then the problems that exist with SPACE will continue and worsen.
From the armchair, Dan
