Hawai`i County Community Facilities District No. 1-2021 (Kaloko Heights) DEM Director's Report of Facilities July 30, 2021 A total of approximately 1,300 single and multiple family residential units are proposed within the Project Area, including 581 units within the Phase 1 development area. The approved Site Plan for Phase 1 is included as Exhibit No. 3. The Kaloko Affordable Housing Project is proposed to be developed by the Hawai`i Island Community Development Corporation on approximately 10.75 acres of adjoining land identified as TMK: 7-3-009: 032. The affordable housing project is to consist of 100 multi-family residential units, including 99 units that would be available to very low-income households) and 1 manager's unit. This area, along with sufficient water to develop the 100 residential units, has been provided at no cost to HICDC by RCFC Kaloko Heights in order to address the affordable housing requirements included as conditions of approval of the LUC Boundary Amendment and Change of Zone ordinance. The construction of the sewer improvements will allow the wastewater from the Project Area and the Kaloko Heights Affordable Housing Project to be transmitted to and processed at the County's Kealakehe WWTP. This will eliminate the need to construct private wastewater treatment facilities serving these projects. The property owners within the Kaloko Heights Project Area will be responsible to pay for one hundred percent(100%) of the sewer development costs through the CFD special tax assessments. While the Kaloko Affordable Housing Project is proposed to be served by the sewer improvements,the area will not be included in the CFD in order to minimize development costs of the affordable rental project. The proposed sewer line improvements are outside of the County Special Management Area (SMA) and therefore an SMA Use Permit is not required for the project. 2. Compliance with Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Chapter 343 The proposed sewer improvements will be constructed within lands owned by the County of Hawai`i. Any use of such lands require compliance with Hawai`i Revised Statutes Chapter 343, Hawai`i Environmental Policy Act. On July 10, 2019,the Hawai`i Housing Finance and Development Corporation approved the Final Environmental Assessment(FEA) and the Findings of No Significant Impact(FONSI) for the proposed Kaloko Heights Affordable Housing Project. This FEA included an assessment of the potential impacts of the construction of the proposed sewer line extension improvements within portions of the Hina Lath Street and Ane Keohokalole Highway right-of-way. I The units are targeted to households with children earning less than 60%of the median income.In addition,at least 5%of the units will be set aside for eligible families experiencing homelessness,at risk of becoming homeless or transitioning out of an emergency shelter or transitional housing program. 4
