PROPOSED DRAFT 4 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 11 (HOUSING), ARTICLE 1, SECTION 11-4(D), HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION), TO INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENTS. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII: SECTION 1. The Housing Element of the Hawaii County General Plan (enacted as Ordinance No. OS-25) clearly states that a policy of the County of Hawaii shall be that "large industries or developments that create a demand for housing shall provide employee housing based upon a ratio to be determined by an analysis of the locality's needs."

Therefore, such industrial developments should be subject to the affordable housing requirements articulated in Chapter 11 (Housing) of the Hawaii County Code. SECTION 2.
