The development would be constructed in three phases over a 15 year period. To serve the development the applicant proposes to develop an extension of Ponahawai Street from its intersection with Komohana Street through the project site to the Mohouli Street Extension, two loop roads to serve the senior housing and medical office campus, and a cul-de-sac from the Mohouli Street Extension to serve the multiple -family residential and large lot single-family residential uses south of the Alenaio Stream drainage channel. The applicant also requests to repeal Ordinance No. 04 144 which approved the Project District (University Terrace) subject to adoption of a change of zone ordinance for the Project District referred to as Wailani.

It will also allow for flexibility over time in the location of specific uses and mixes of structural alternatives. The planning approach would establish continuity in land uses and designs while providing for a comprehensive network of infrastructure facilities and systems. A variety of uses as well as open space, parks, and other project uses are intended to be in accord with each individual Project District objective. A Project District is an amendment to Chapter 25, Zoning Code, which changes the district boundaries in accordance with the individual Project District. A Project District may be established whenever the public necessity and convenience and the general welfare require that a comprehensive planning approach for an area should be adopted.

The Change of Zone request from Project District (University Terrace) to Project District (Wailani) is consistent with the intent and purpose of the General Plan and the Zoning Code. The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designation for the subject properties is Medium Density Urban. The Medium Density Urban
