The properties are located about 608 feet west of the intersection of Mohouli Street and Komohana Street in the Waidkea Cane Lots, Waidkea, South Hilo, Hawaii. The Commission concurs with the following Planning Director's reasons for recommending favorable consideration of the requests: The applicant, the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 9.379 acres of land, which is the current site of Phases 1 and 2 of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project, which aims to provide affordable housing and related senior services in South Hilo, made available by Governor's Executive Order No. 4224. Hawai `i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Valerie Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 2 Completed in 2014 and occupied since then, Phase 1 of the project consists of 60 -senior housing units. Phase 1 development cost was $20 million. Phase 2 consists of 30 -senior housing units, which finished construction in 2017 and been occupied since, and the Hilo Adult Day Center facility, which is nearing construction completion. Phase 2 development cost for the senior housing units was $11.4 million. The Hilo Adult Day Care facility development cost was $8.8 million and is on schedule to finish later this year. The project was initially separated into four (4) phases for financial reasons. Phase 3 originally consisted of 60 -units and Phase 4 originally consisted of 32 -units. However, when financing was awarded for the combined 92 -units, Phases 3 and 4 were consolidated and referenced as Phase 3, which is currently under construction with a total estimated project cost of $26.4 million. The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Urban District for approximately 9.379 acres will not be in violation of Section 205-2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will it be inconsistent with the Land Use Commission Rules, the County General Plan and the Hawaii State Plan. Under the Land Use Commission Rules, one of the standards for considering an area for urban reclassification states that, "In determining urban growth for the next ten years, or in amending the boundary, land contiguous with existing urban areas shall be given more consideration than non-contiguous land, and particularly when indicated for future urban use on state or county general plans." The project area confonms to this standard as it is situated adjacent to existing urban -designated lands to the north and is designated as future urban growth (Medium Density Urban) on the County's Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) map in the General Plan. On April 20, 2010, Resolution No. 328-10 designated the zoning for Parcel 177 as RM -4. On June 3, 2016, Resolution No. 536-16 designated the zoning for Parcels 185 and 186 as RM -3. The applicant's request to designate 9.379 acres into the Urban District reflects the intent of the County of Hawaii Resolution Nos. 709-08, 328-10, 311-15 and 536-16 and the Governor's Executive Order No. 4224 to set aside and develop the land for elderly, affordable rental housing and related purposes for the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use and Housing elements of the General Plan. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals, policies and standards of the Land use -Multiple Family Residential and the Housing Elements of the Hawaii County General Plan by Valerie Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 3 encouraging the constriction of specially designed facilities or communities for elderly persons needing institutional care and small home care units for active elderly persons in the South Hilo district. The LUPAG Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action. It is also a graphic depiction of the physical relationship between the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The Urban District request conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map, which designates this area as Medium Density Urban. Thus, the area under consideration is consistent with the urban form established for this section of South Hilo as depicted on the LUPAG Map. The urban classification conforms to the standard that the development is within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. Access is from Mohouli Street onto Kupuna Place (an approximately thirty-foot paved area within a fifty -foot wide roadway parcel owned by the State but managed by the County under the EO No. 4224) then onto a paved portion within an approximately 70 -foot wide road and utility easement leading to the subject properties. There is an existing 10 -feet wide no vehicular access easement on the subject properties fronting Mohouli Street. There is an emergency access gate between the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project and the end of Kahikini Street in the adjacent Sunrise Ridge Subdivision, which will remain closed unless an emergency access is required. In their June 22, 2018, the Department of Water Supply confirmed that each parcel has an existing service assigned to it from the existing 8 -inch waterline along the roadway within the parcels. Therefore, the Department has no objections to the proposed application. The applicant indicated that all waste generated by the Project will be disposed of at appropriate sites designated by the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) Solid Waste Division. The sewer main extension from Kahikini Street through a road and utility easement services Phase 1. The County DEM Wastewater Division approved the sewer connections that services Phase 2 elderly housing project and the Hilo Adult Day Center facility. The applicant shall be responsible for ongoing compliance with Federal, State and County laws, codes, riles, regulations and requirements for this project. Police, fire protection and emergency medical services are located in Hilo, less than two miles from the property. Electricity, cable and telephone are available to the site. Valerie Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 4 Urban Districts shall include lands characterized by "city -like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other related land uses. The project site is located in an urban -like setting adequately sewed by transportation and utilities. Commercial establishments and other amenities are available within close proximity. The reclassification will allow the property to be used for the existing development of the affordable senior housing units and Hilo Adult Day Center facility of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, objectives and/or policies of the housing element articulated in the Hawaii State Plan. The request would be consistent with the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan as it will provide greater opportunities for Hawai`i's elderly to rent an affordable unit in an area in which housing has become scarce and costly. • Promote alternatives to institutional care in the provision of long-tenn care for the elderly populations. • Seek to use marginal or non-essential agricultural land and public land to meet housing needs of low and moderate -income and gap -group households. • Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawai`i's people. • Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. Thus, the proposed project is consistent with the policies outlined in the Hawaii State Plan. The properties have no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. According to the Department of Public Works — Engineering Division, the subject parcel is in an area designated as Zone X on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Zone X is an area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development -generated runoff shall be disposed of on site and not directed toward any adjacent properties. A drainage study shall be prepared and the recommended drainage system,, -shall be constructed meeting the approval of the Department of Public Works. All earthwork activity, including grading and grubbing, shall conform to Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of the Hawaii County Valerie Poindexter, Council Chair and Members of the County Council Page 5 Code. Any improvements to the subject property must comply with Chapter 27 of the Hawaii County Code, relating to Floodplain Management. Thus, the reclassification meets the standard which states that the lands included within the urban district, "...shall be those with satisfactory topography and drainage and reasonably free from the danger of floods, tsunami and unstable soil conditions and other adverse enviromnental effects." The Hawaii Right to Farm Act, HRS Chapter 165, was enacted to protect farming operations on land in the State Land Use Agricultural District when adjacent land is reclassified out of the Agricultural District. A condition of approval will require the applicant notify prospective purchasers, tenants or lessees of the Hawaii Right to Farm Act. Therefore, the reclassification of the 9.379 -acre area from the Agricultural to the Urban designation will not be detrimental to the reduction of this area from the agricultural land inventory in the County of Hawaii. Furthermore, an Urban classification would complement the existing and future land use pattern of the surrounding area in view of the urban uses already in existence in close proximity to the subject properties. Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to the Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and County General Plan and is supportive of the Hawaii State Plan. The accompanying draft bill to amend the State Land Use Boundaries Map is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. We are enclosing copies of the staff Background, Planning Director's Recommendation, Powerpoint presentation and a draft transcript of the hearing for your information.

By Section 171-11 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, EO No. 4224 set aside 15.948 acres for the public purpose of elderly, affordable rental housing and related purposes on TMK: (3) 2-4-001:168, to be under the control and management of the County of Hawaii, identified as the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood. On February 22, 2008, the Board of Land and Natural Resources recommended issuance of EO No. 4224 to the Governor. (PD Exhibit 2 - Governor's Executive Order No. 4224) 6. Resolution No. 709-08: Effective August 13, 2008. This resolution authorized the Director of Finance to negotiate a seventy-five (75) year lease with the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), a non-profit affordable housing developer with extensive experience in the development of subsidized senior housing for the purpose of planning, developing and operating affordable rental housing for senior citizens. (PD Exhibit 3 - Resolution No. 709-08) 7. Resolution No. 328-10: Effective April 20, 2010. This resolution authorized the exemption of certain code requirements, pursuant to Section 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) for the proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Housing Program in South Hilo. By 2010, the original 30.396 -acre parcel was already subdivided into three (3) separate parcels 177 (15.948 acres), 176 (5.003 acres) and 168 (9.091 acres) with a road lot parcel (0.354 acres) under Subdivision No. SUB 08-000713r. HICDC proposed to continue construction of an affordable housing program for seniors on land dedicated for that purpose and transferred to the County of Hawaii by EO No. 4224 in 2 South Hilo, Hawaii, identified as TMK: (3) 2-4-001:177. The requested exemptions consisted of the State Land Use designation from Agricultural to Urban for the upper fifteen (15) acres of the subject property, change of county zoning from Agricultural One Acre (A-1 a) to Multi -Family Residential Four Thousand (RM -4) for the upper fifteen (15) acres of subject property and reduction of the parking requirements from one and one quarter (1.25) per unit to one (1.0) per unit. Phase 1 comprised of the first sixty (60) affordable senior housing units. (PD Exhibit 4 - Resolution No. 328-10) 8. Resolution No. 311-15: Effective November 3, 2015. This resolution authorized the exemption of certain code requirements, pursuant to Section 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes for the proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood.Project Phases 2 and 3 in South Hilo. TMK: (3) 2-4-001:184, consisting of 9.572 acres, was subdivided from TMK: (3) 2-4-001:177 to separate the Phase 1 portion of the Project for financing purposes. HICDC proposed to continue development of Phases 2 and 3 of the Project, situated at TMK: (3) 2-4-001:184, in accordance with the requirements of the EO. The requested exemptions consisted of the State Land Use designation from Agricultural to Urban and to allow the standards and requirements of the Multiple Family Residential One Thousand Five Hundred (RM71.5) zoning (not to exceed a total of 160 units between all phases of the Project). (PD Exhibit 5 - Resolution No. 311-15) 9. Res.olution No. 536-16: Effective June 3, 2016. This resolution authorized the exemption of certain code requirements, pursuant to Section 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes for Phase 4 of the Mohouli Senior Affordable Housing Project in South Hilo, Hawaii. The HICDC proposed to develop an additional 32 affordable housing units on land by EO No. 4224 to provide decent, safe and affordable housing for qualified low- and moderate -income residents in the County. HICDC expressed their desire to continue development of Phases 2, 3 and 4 on TMK: (3) 2-4-001:184, in accordance with the requirements of the EO. The requested exemptions consisted of an approval to increase total unit count for the Project to 182 units and the zoning classification shall be changed from Agriculture One Acre (A-1 a) to Multiple Family Residential Three Thousand (RM -3). (PD Exhibit 6 - Resolution No. 536-16) 3 10. Current Application: By the time of this current application, each of the three (3) parcels were involved in several subdivisions. For Parcel 177, the most recently approved final subdivision is SUB 11-001115-r3. For Parcel 185, the most recently approved final subdivision is SUB 14-001396. For Parcel 186, the most recently approved final subdivision is SUB 16-001625. The applicant sought the above-mentioned resolutions for the separate project phases to provide exemptions for certain code requirements, pursuant to Section 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes for the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project in South Hilo. Meanwhile, the Planning Department was unaware that a project under HRS 201H could not exempt a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for parcels over 15 acres and that the State Land Use Commission (LUC) needed to review and approve those amendments per HRS 20111-12(a)(3)(b). The Planning Department was also unaware that the Land Use 1 Conunission did not receive any formal notification during the 2009 environmental assessment review period for the project that encompassed a land area of over 15 acres. Phases 1 and 2 of the project completed construction in 2014 and 2017, respectively. Realizing the oversight sometime in 2016, the Planning Department infonned the applicant that a State Land Use Boundary Amendment was required. In 2017, the applicant submitted an application for Phase 3, which the Planning Commission forwarded a favorable recommendation to the County Council and notified the applicant to submit a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for the remaining phases of the Project. The Hawaii County Council approved Ordinance No. 18 16 for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment for Phase 3. The applicant submitted this application for Phases 1 and 2 on May 3, 2018. Through recent discussions with the Planning Department, the State Land Use Commission agreed to allow the County Planning Department to process the State Land Use Boundary Amendment for the subject parcels at the county level through the Planning Commission with the understanding that similar future projects will follow the proper procedures and shall be reviewed and approved by the State Land Use Commission, as required by law. (PD Exhibit 7 — Section 201H-12 and 201H-38 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes) M 11. Ordinance No. 18 16: Effective March 6, 2018. The Hawaii County Council approved this ordinance for Phase 3, which amended the state land use boundaries map for the County of Hawaii by changing the district classification from the Agricultural District to the Urban District for TMK: (3) 2-4-001:184. (PD Exhibit 8 — Ordinance No. 18 16) STATE AND COUNTY PLANS 12. State Land Use Designation: Agricultural. 13. General Plan LUPAG Map Designation: Medium Density Urban. These are areas of village and neighborhood commercial and single family and multiple family residential (up to 35 units per acre) and related functions. 14.

On June 3, 2016, Resolution No. 536-16 designated the zoning for Parcels 185 and 186 as RM -3. 15. Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP): The Hilo CDP, adopted as Planning Commission Resolution No. 1 on May 21, 1975, identifies the property for agricultural purposes. 16. Special Management Area (SMA): The Special Management Area (SMA) is a part of the Coastal Zone Management Program and regulated by the County. The project site is located over 1.6 miles from the shoreline and is not situated within the SMA. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREAS 17. Subject Property: This 9.379 -acre request consists of three (3) adjacent parcels which are fairly rectangular in shape. Parcel 177 (Phase 1) is 6.376 acres, which is the site currently occupied with 60 -senior housing units completed in 2014. Parcel 185 (Phase 2) is 1.585 acres, which is the site of the Hilo Adult Day Center facility currently under construction. Parcel 186 (also Phase 2) is 1.418 acres, which is the site currently occupied with 30 -senior housing units completed in 2017. 18. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: Surrounding properties are zoned A -la, RS -10 and UNV. The adjacent single-family residential district includes the Sunrise Ridge Subdivision to the north. Phase 3 of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood is adjacent to Phase 2. A large property directly across of Komohana Streets is both 5 agricultural and single-family residential zoning. The property located at the southeast corner of Komohana Street and Mohouli Street is designated UNV, for use by the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Other land uses within a half -mile radius of the subject property include medical offices and the University Park, which houses a number of research and technical support facilities for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center and the astronomical observatories on Mauna Kea. 19. Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH): Unclassified. 20. Flood Zone: According to their June 27, 2018 memo, the Department of Public Works Engineering Division indicated that the subject parcel is in an area designated as Zone X on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Zone X is an area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development -generated runoff shall be disposed of on site and not directed toward any adjacent properties. A drainage study shall be prepared and the recommended drainage system shall be constructed meeting the approval of the Department of Public Works. All earthwork activity, including grading and grubbing, shall conform to Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of the Hawaii County Code. 21. U.S.D.A. Soil Survey: The property is classified as Keaukaha Series, Keaukaha extremely rocky muck with 6 to 20 percent slopes (rKFD) and Pahoehoe lava flows (rLW) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey, U.S. Soil Conservation Service 1973. The Keaukaha soil series consists of well -drained thin organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock. The soil above the lava is rapidly penneable. The pahoehoe lava is very slowly penneable, but water runs rapidly through the cracks. Runoff is medium and the erosion hazard is slight. 22. Land Study Bureau Soil Productivity Rating: The subject property is classified as "D" or "Poor" soils. 23. Archaeological/Historical/Cultural Resources: In a letter dated November 17, 2008, the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources -Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD) accepted the Archaeological Assessment by Haun (Haun 2008; Archaeological Assessment, Portion of TMK: (3) 2-4-001:168, Land of Waidkea, South Hilo District, Island of Hawaii, H&A Project No. 587-100708). The survey covered approximately half of the 30.396 -acre parcel. No new historic sites were found during the survey. There is no evidence of any traditional and customary Native Hawaiian rights being practiced on the site, nor existence of any known valued cultural, historical or native resources in the area. In a recent June 8, 2018 letter, the DLNR-SHPD determination is no historic properties affected for the proposed boundary amendment. Therefore, the pen -nit issuance process may proceed. 24. Flora/Fauna Resources: According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in the 2009 Final Environmental Assessment (FEA), the federally threatened Newell's shearwater, Hawaiian petrel, Hawaiian hoary bat and the Hawaiian hawk have all been observed in the project vicinity. The USFWS stated that outdoor lighting can result in seabird disorientation, fallout, and injury or mortality. There is no federally designated critical habitat located in the vicinity of the project. According to USFWS, "potential impacts to seabirds can be minimized by: 1) shielding outdoor lights associated with the project, particularly when used during each year's peak fledging period (September 15 through December 15); 2) avoiding night-time construction; and 3) providing all project staff with infonnation regarding seabird fallout. To avoid impacts to the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, woody plants suitable for bat roosting should not be removed or trimmed during the bat birthing and pup rearing season (April to August). If this avoidance measure cannot be implemented, bat surveys should be conducted and, if this species is found, our office should be contacted for further assistance." 25. Public Access: There is no known record of a designated public access to the shoreline or mountain areas that traverses the subject properties. 26. Traffic: A Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIAR) was prepared for the project, which was proposed for the original 15.948 -acre parcel in December 2008. This report was later revised in 2011 to address traffic impacts that would be generated with the addition of the Hilo Adult Day Center, along with 150 multi -family residential units for seniors. According to the Department of Public Works (DPW), the applicant shall install streetlights and traffic control devices as may be required by the DPW Traffic Division. 7 The applicant shall be responsible for the design, purchase and installation of such devices. 27. Waiakea Pond/Alenaio Stream/Waiakea Stream: The Waiakea Pond is the closest body of water to the proposed project area, situated downstream approximately 1.3 miles to the east. The nearby intermittent Alenaio Stream is located about 1,500 feet to the northwest and the Waiakea Stream located over 600 feet to the southeast and downslope of the subject property. According to the 2009 Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood FEA, the proposed project is not expected to have any direct impact on any streams, wetlands, aquifer resource or marine waters. 28. Lava -flow Hazard Zone: The subject property is in lava -flow hazard zone three (3), which the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) designates as areas less hazardous than zone 2 because of greater distance from recently active vents and/or because of topography. One to five percent of zone 3 has been covered since 1800, and 15 to 75 percent has been covered within the past 750 years. PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES 29. Access: Access to the subject property is from Mohouli Street onto Kupuna Place (an approximately thirty-foot paved area within a fifty -foot wide roadway parcel owned by the State but managed by the County under the EO No. 4224) then onto a paved portion within an approximately 70 -foot wide road and utility easement leading to the subject properties. There is an existing 10 -foot wide no vehicular access easement on the subject properties fronting Mohouli Street. There is an emergency access gate between the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project and the end of Kahikini Street in the adjacent Sunrise Ridge Subdivision, which will remain closed unless emergency access is required. 30. Water: In their June 22, 2018, the Department of Water Supply (DWS) confinned that each parcel has an existing service assigned to it from the existing 8 -inch waterline along the roadway within the parcels. Therefore, the DWS has no objections to the proposed application. �3 31. Health: In their June 20, 2018 memo, the State Department of Health (DOH) provided information regarding the codes and regulations that are the applicant's responsibilities, including but not limited to, the DOH Air Pollution Rules, Chapter 60. 1, Title 11, State of Hawaii for fugitive dust control, any project and its potential impacts to State waters must meet State and Federal requirements, construction activities must comply with the provisions of the Hawai `i Administrative Rules Chapter 11-46 "Community Noise Control", working with the HEER Office for elevated soil arsenic levels prior to finalizing development plans for affected properties, and applying the healthy built environment principles. 32. Wastewater: The applicant indicated that the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project connected to the county's existing wastewater system'serving the adjacent Sunrise Ridge subdivision. The sewer main extension from Kahikini Street through a road and utility easement services Phase 1. The County Department of Environmental Management (DEM) Wastewater Division approved the sewer connections that services Phase 2 elderly housing project and the Hilo Adult Day Center facility. 33. - Solid Waste: The applicant indicated that all waste generated by the Project will be disposed of at appropriate sites designated by the DEM Solid Waste Division. 34.

Sincerely, Ccs ✓� G�/ Keith Kato General Partner Enclosure Page 1 of 1 STATE LAND USE DISTRICT BOUNDARY AMENDMENT APPLICATION (fifteen acres or less) BACKGROUND REPORT APPLICANT: Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC) REQUEST: State Land Use Boundary Amendment Agriculture to Urban TAX MAP KEY: (3) 2-4-001: 177,185 and 186 A) SUBJECT REQUEST 1) Details of the Proposed Development: a) Project description: The subject parcels are located on the northeast corner of Mohouli Street and Kupuna Place at an elevation of approximately 300 feet above sea level. The boundary amendment request includes a 6.376 -acre parcel identified as tax map key number (3) 2-4-001:177, a 1.585 acre parcel identified as tax map key number (3) 2-4-001: 185 and a 1.418 acre parcel identified as tax map key number (3) 2-4-001: 186 situated in Waiakea, South Hilo, Island of Hawaii. HICDC is requesting a State Land Use Boundary amendment from Agriculture to Urban for the subject parcels (project area) which have a total combined land area of 9.379 acres. All three parcels have been previously developed. The applicant completed the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project Phase 1, a 60 -unit multi -family rental project for low-income seniors in 2014 on parcel 177. A 30 -unit Phase 2 project was completed in October, 2017 on parcel 185. The Hilo Adult Day Center is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion shortly in the Spring of 2018. A similar boundary amendment application was submitted in 2017 for Phase 3 of the Project which will include development of 92 additional low income senior affordable housing units and related uses and was approved on March 6, 2018. (Please see attached Figure 1 showing the three phases of the Project) b) Statement of objectives and reasons for the request: In 2010, the applicant went through an exemption process with the County of Hawaii (County) to change the State Land Use designation of 15 acres of land (which included all three of the subject parcels) from Agriculture to Urban as well as a change of zone from Agricultural one acre (A -la) to Multi -Family Residential Four Thousand (RM -4). The exemption process, authorized by Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), Section 201H-38, in conjunction with HRS 46-15.1, is intended to expedite the approval of affordable housing projects, and has been utilized to obtain State Land Use boundary amendment and Change of Zone approvals. County Resolution No. 328 10 approved the requested changes on April 26, 2010. After the development of Phase 1 of the Project, a second exemption resolution, Resolution Number 311 15 changed the zoning designation of the remaining 9.572 acres to Multiple Family Residential one thousand five hundred (RM 1.5) in 2015. The entire 9.379 acres included in the subject request have either been 1 developed or is currently under construction to provide affordable rental units for low-income senior citizens as well as an adult day care facility. The applicant proceeded with plans to develop all three parcels based on the allowances of the exemption resolutions. At this time, however, the County indicated that the State Land Use amendment, approved by County of Hawaii Resolution No. 328 10 has been called into question by the State of Hawaii. To eliminate any uncertainty regarding the State Land Use Boundary designation, this application is being submitted for review and approval through the standard process. c) Timeframe and cost: The development cost of the Phase 1 project completed in 2014 was $20 million, $11.4 million for Phase 2 completed in 2017 and $8.8 million for the Hilo Adult Day Care project scheduled for completion during the spring of 2018. d) Traffic impacts: A Traffic Impact Analysis Report was prepared for the Project which was proposed for the original 15.948 acre parcel in December 2008. This report was later revised in 2011 to address traffic impacts that would be generated with the addition of the Hilo Adult Day Center to the property, along with 150 multi -family residential units for seniors. In summarizing its findings, the report states, the following: "The proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood is forecast to generate less than 100 trips during the morning and afternoon commuter peak hours, which is considered to be a relatively small number of trips. The additional traffic in itself would not require mitigating measures beyond those roadway improvements proposed by the Wailani Center. The Wailani Center project is adding traffic lanes at the Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection to accommodate the future growth in ambient traffic. The traffic forecast generated by Wailani Center project also identified the need for traffic mitigation at the currently unsignalized Komohana Street/Kukuau Street intersection. Traffic signals may be warranted at this intersection in the future as a mitigation measure. The currently unsignalized intersection at Mohouli Street/Kukuau Street will not require mitigation in the future due to the increases in ambient traffic. The project access roadway intersection on Mohouli Street can remain stop sign controlled." It should be noted that, although it was not required and was not deemed necessary by the traffic study, the applicant has made a $500,000 contribution to the County, Department of Public Works - Traffic Division towards the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Mohouli Street and Kupuna Place, which serves as the entry/exit point of the Mohouli Senior Neighborhood Project. Discussions with the County are ongoing and there has been no indication of a definite timetable for any improvements to the subject intersection. A complete copy of the Traffic Impact Analysis Report is attached as Appendix A. B) CONFORMANCE WITH STATE/COUNTY PLANS 1) State Land Use designation: The project area is situated within the State Land Use Agricultural district. The proposed State Land Use boundary amendment from the 0 Agricultural to the Urban district is in conformance with the proposed use. The proposed reclassification conforms to the following standards for determining the Urban district boundaries: • The project area is in close proximity to centers of trading and employment. • The project area is served by basic services including schools, parks, solid waste disposal, drainage, water, transportation systems, public utilities and police and fire protection. • The project area includes lands with satisfactory topography and drainage, is reasonably free from the danger of any flood, tsunami, unstable soil condition and other adverse environmental effects. • Land contiguous with existing urban areas shall be given more consideration than non-contiguous land, and particularly when indicated for future urban use on state or county general plans. • The project area is in an appropriate location for new urban concentrations as evidenced by the County General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designation as Medium Density Urban. • Approval of the proposed reclassification will not result in spot urban development necessitating unreasonable investment in public infrastructure or support services. 2) Applicable goals/policies and objectives of the General Plan: The proposed project is consistent with the following goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan. Economic Element • Provide residents with opportunities to improve their quality of life through economic development that enhances the County's natural and social environments. • Economic development and improvement shall be in balance with the physical, social and cultural environments of the island of Hawaii. • Strive for diversity and stability in its economic system. • Provide an economic environment that allows new, expanded, or improved economic opportunities that are compatible with the County's cultural, natural and social environment. Land Use Element • Designate and allocate land uses in appropriate proportions and mix and in keeping with the social, cultural, and physical environments of the County. • Zone urban- and rural -types of uses in areas with ease of access to community services and employment centers and with adequate public utilities and facilities. • Allocate appropriate requested zoning in accordance with the existing or projected needs of neighborhood, community, region and County. 3 • Encourage the development and maintenance of communities meeting the needs of its residents in balance with the physical and social environment. • Zoning requests shall be reviewed with respect to General Plan designation, district goals, regional plans, State Land Use District, compatibility with adjacent zoned uses, availability of public services and utilities, access and public need. Housing Element • Attain safe, sanitary, and livable housing for the residents of the County of Hawaii. • Attain a diversity of socio-economic housing mix throughout the different parts of the County. • Maintain a housing supply that allows a variety of choices. • Create viable communities with affordable housing and suitable living environments. • Seek sufficient production of new affordable rental and fee -simple housing in the County in a variety of sizes to satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals. • Make affordable housing available in reasonable proximity to employment centers. • Encourage a volume of construction and rehabilitation of housing sufficient to meet growth needs and correct existing deficiencies. • Encourage corporations and nonprofit organizations to participate in Federal, State and private programs to provide new and rehabilitated housing for low and moderate income families. • Increase rental opportunities and choices in terms of quality, cost, amenity, style and size of housing, especially for low and moderate income households. • Accommodate the housing requirements of special need groups including the elderly, handicapped, homeless and those residents in rural areas. • Work with, encourage and support private sector efforts in the provision of affordable housing. 3) General Plan designation: The General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map designation for this section of the South Hilo District is Medium Density Urban. 4) Applicable goals/policies objectives and priority guidelines of the Hawaii State Plan: The proposed project is consistent with the following goals, policies, objectives and priority guidelines of the Hawaii State Plan. Goal (to achieve) 11 • A strong, viable economy, characterized by stability, diversity, and growth, that enables the fulfillment of the needs and expectations of Hawaii's present and future generations. • Physical, social, and economic well-being, for individuals and families in Hawaii, that nourishes a sense of community responsibility, of caring, and of participation in community life. Objectives and Polices for Population • Promote increased opportunities for Hawaii's people to pursue their socio- economic aspirations throughout the islands. • Plan the development and availability of land and water resources in a coordinated manner so as to provide for the desired levels of growth in each geographic area. Objectives and Polices for Socio -Cultural Advancement --Housing Greater opportunities for Hawaii's people to secure reasonably priced, safe, sanitary, and livable homes, located in suitable environments that satisfactorily accommodate the needs and desires of families and individuals, through collaboration and cooperation between government and nonprofit and for-profit developers to ensure that more affordable housing is made available to very low-, low- and moderate -income segments of Hawaii's population. • The orderly development of residential areas sensitive to community needs and other land uses. • Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawaii's people. • Stimulate and promote feasible approaches that increase housing choices for low- income, moderate income, and gap -group households. • Increase homeownership and rental opportunities and choices in terms of quality, location, cost, densities, style, and size of housing. • Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. Affordable Housing Priority Guidelines • Seek to use marginal or nonessential agricultural land and public land to meet housing needs of low- and moderate -income and gap -group households. • Encourage the use of alternative construction and development methods as a means of reducing production costs. • Encourage public and private sector cooperation in the development of rental housing alternatives. • Give higher priority to the provision of quality housing that is affordable for Hawaii's residents and less priority to development of housing intended primarily for individuals outside of Hawaii. 5 Population Growth and Land Resources Priority Guidelines • Priority guidelines for regional growth distribution and land resource utilization: • Encourage urban growth primarily to existing urban areas where adequate public facilities are already available or can be provided with reasonable public expenditures, and away from areas where other important benefits are present, such as protection of important agricultural land or preservation of lifestyles. • Make available marginal or nonessential agricultural lands for appropriate urban uses while maintaining agricultural lands of importance in the agricultural district. • Utilize Hawaii's limited land resources wisely, providing adequate land to accommodate projected population and economic growth needs while ensuring the protection of the environment and the availability of the shoreline, conservation lands, and other limited resources for future generations. 5) Zoning: The zoning designation for the subject property is Agriculture one -acre ( A- la) It should be noted, however, that the Phase 1 project developed on parcel 177, was considered Multi -Family Residential 4,000 (RM -4) as approved by Resolution No. 328 10. Phase 2 and the Hilo Adult Day Center project were considered to be Multi -Family Residential 3, 000 (RM -3) as approved by Resolution 536-16. 6) Community Development Plan: The Hilo Community Development Plan (CDP) was adopted on May 21, 1975 and has not been updated since that time. The subject property is situated in Planning Area 10 of the Hilo CDP which is labeled "University" and is 1,060 acres in size. The land use designation of the project area in the Hilo CDP is Agricultural one acre (A-1 a), which reflected the existing zoning at the time of the plan adoption. The Hilo CDP included the nine considerations in determining future agricultural boundaries as follows: • Areas of high agricultural suitability • Areas of existing agricultural use • Location of the state agricultural district • Location of the agricultural homesteads on Hawaiian Home lands • Providing opportunity for both small scale and large scale agricultural operations • Areas of low urban suitability • Areas which has open space value as well as agricultural suitability • Application of agricultural zoning as a holding zone for possible future urban expansion of areas which are not in agricultural use, do not have high agricultural suitability and which are not yet required for urban uses. • Use of agricultural zones for "large lot development" e.g., one acre, single family residential. Given the fact that the project area is considered an area of low agricultural suitability, it appears that the final two considerations were the determining factors in keeping the Agricultural one -acre zoning designation for the project area when the R Hilo CDP was adopted in 1975. The urban uses which have been established in the surrounding area over the past 43 years indicate that urban expansion of the project area is now appropriate. It should be noted that at the time that the Hilo CDP was adopted the Mohouli Street Extension from Komohana to Waianuenue Avenue was not in existence. This additional roadway greatly increased the usability of the area. 7) Special Management Area (SMA): The project area is not situated within the SMA boundary. C. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING OF THE PROPERTY AND SURROUNDING AREA 1) Description of the subject property: The property is located on the northeast corner of Mohouli Street and Kupuna Place at an elevation of approximately 300 feet above sea level in Waiakea, South Hilo, Island of Hawaii. The project area is located makai of a five acre site secured by the Fire Department with plans to develop a 911 call center, fire administration, training, and a fire station. The Sunrise Estates and Sunrise Ridge single-family residential subdivisions are situated to the north, and single-family residential homes are situated to the east along Mohouli Street.' Vacant property to the south is designated for use by the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Other land uses within a 1/2 mile radius of the subject property include medical offices, the University Park, which houses a number of research and technical support facilities for the astronomical observatories on Mauna Kea as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center. 2) Lava Hazard Zone: The volcanic hazard as assessed by the United States Geological Survey for the project area is "3" on a scale of ascending risks — 9 to 1 (Heliker 1990). Zone "3" includes the lower slopes of Mauna Loa which are "gradationally less hazardous than Zone 2 because of greater distance from recently active vents and/or because the topography makes it less likely that flows will cover these areas." It should be noted that the entire city of Hilo is situated within Zone 3. 3) Distance from the coastline: The coastline is situated approximately 1.5 miles east of the project area. 4) Agricultural Lands of Importance to the State of Hawaii (ALISH) designation: The subject property has not been included in ALISH system. 5) U.S.D.A. Natural Resources Conservation Services Soil Service Report soil type: The soils of the project area are classified as Keaukaha extremely rocky muck with 6 to 20 percent slopes (rKFD) and Pahoehoe lava flows (rLW) by the U.S Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Soil Survey. The Keaukaha soil series consists of well drained thin organic soils overlying pahoehoe lava bedrock. The Agricultural Capability Subclass rating of this soil is WE, which includes soils having very severe limitations that make them unsuited for cultivation and that restrict their use largely to pasture or range, woodland, or wildlife. 6) Land Study Bureau soil rating: The overall master productivity rating for the soils of the subject property is Class D, which is described as "poor". 7 7) Existing drainage ways or improvements: There is an existing County drainage ditch along the entire southern boundary of the project area. The project will adhere to County and State requirements for disposing of runoff and addressing drainage concerns. 8) Air/noise/water quality: The air quality of the subject property is primarily affected by pollutants derived from the volcanic emissions from the ongoing Kilauea eruption. The only other source of air pollution affecting the project area is vehicle exhaust emissions from surrounding roadways. The ambient air quality of the project area meets all federal and state standards as evidenced by its designation as an "attainment" area by the State Department of Health, Clean Air Branch. Existing noise levels in the vicinity of the project area are typical of a residential area. Noise studies done• for the Hilo International Airport indicate that residential areas in Hilo have background ambient noise levels from 45 to 55 Day -Night Average Sound Level (DNL). The major noise generator in the vicinity of the project area is the Hilo International Airport, which is situated approximately 2 miles away. Noise contour maps developed for the airport indicate that the -project area is beyond the limits of noise impact contours which range from 75 DNL down to 55 DNL. Based on general observations at the project area, the site is not subject to current or projected noise levels that exceed 65 DNL (day -night average sound level, in decibels). The closest water body to the project area is the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1.5 miles east of the project site. As such, the proposed boundary amendment is not anticipated to have any impact on water quality. 9) Existing archaeological, cultural or historic sites on National Register or Hawaii Register: An archaeological assessment was prepared by Haun & Associates in 2008 for the original 15.948 -acre parcel which included the project area. The State Department of Land and Natural Resources — Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) accepted the above-described archaeological assessment as final in a letter dated November 11, 2008. The letter states, in part, the following: "No archaeological sites or features were identified by the survey and no Land Commission Awards are present within the parcel based on a review on tax maps. No further archaeological work is recommended based on the negative survey results." A complete copy of the Archaeological Assessment along with the letter from the SHPD is attached as Appendix B. 10) Existing floral/faunal resources (any native or exotic plants; any listed or candidate for endangered species): An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the original 15.948 acre parcel in 2008. The U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-F&WS) submitted a comment letter dated December 9, 2008 as part of the preparation process of the EA. The comment letter states in part, the following: "We have reviewed the information you provided and the pertinent information in our files, including data compiled by the Hawaii Biodiversity and Mapping Program and the Hawaii GAP Program. Land cover information indicates that the proposed project area has classifications of open ohia forest and native uluhe shrubland. The federally threatened Newell's shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelli), federally endangered Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia sandwichensis), Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasittrus cinereus semotus) and Hawaiian hawk (Buten solitaries) have been observed in the project vicinity. There is no federally designated critical habitat located in the vicinity of the project." In addition, the letter provided the following recommendations to help avoid and minimize project impacts to listed species: "Outdoor lighting can result in seabird disorientation, fallout, and injury or mortality. Potential impacts to seabirds can be minimized by: 1) shielding outdoor lights associated with the project, particularly when used during each year's peak fledging period (September 15 through December 15); 2) avoiding night-time construction; and 3) providing all project staff with information regarding seabird fallout." "To avoid impacts to the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, woody plants suitable for bat roosting should not be removed or trimmed during the bat birthing and pup rearing season (April to August). If this avoidance measure cannot be implemented, bat surveys should be conducted and, if this species is found, our office should be contacted for further assistance." It should be noted that since the EA was completed in 2009, the entire parcel has been cleared of vegetation, 60 one -bedroom apartments were completed in 2014, 30 additional apartments were completed in 2017 and an adult day center is currently nearing completion. During the course of developing the project area, the applicant has complied with the recommendations provided by the DOI-F&WS. The entire letter from the DOI-F&WS dated December 8, 2008 is included as Appendix C. 11) Scenic or coastal resources: The predominant scenic views in the vicinity of the project area are of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hilo Bay. These views will not be adversely affected by the proposed boundary amendment. There are no coastal resources in the immediate vicinity of the project area. 12) Social settlement pattern for the area: The project area is predominantly residential in character although there are other vacant properties in the adjoining area. Adjacent properties to the north and east are primarily developed as single- family residential subdivisions. The adjacent parcel to the west is currently vacant but has been secured by the Fire Department with plans to develop a 911 call center, fire administration, training, and a fire station. Vacant property to the south is designated for use by the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Other land uses in the within a 1/2 mile radius of the subject property include the University Park, which houses a number of research and technical support facilities for the astronomical observatories on Mauna Kea as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center. The proposed project is not situated within a Federal Aviation Administration designated civilian airport Runway Clear Zone, within a military airfield Clear Zone or Accident potential Zone. The closest airport is the Hilo International Airport situated approximately 2.5 miles east of the project site. The project area is not situated within one mile of a NPL ("Superfund") site, nor within 2,000 feet of a Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and 9 Liability Information System site, nor adjacent to any other known or suspected sites contaminated with toxic chemicals or radioactive materials. 13) Economic resources of the area: The County's population based on the 2010 census was 185,079, an increase of 24 percent since 2000. The population of the South Hilo District was 47,386 in 2000 and the 2010 census population was 50,927, which represent a 7.5% increase over the ten-year time period. The State's Housing Policy Study, 2006: Housing Issues for Senior Citizens (2006 Study) found that in 1990, 13.9% of the population in the State was over 62 years of age. In 2000, the percentage had grown to 15.3% and in 2010 it was forecast to be 18.9%. (The actual 2010 census data indicated that those 60 and older represented 21.8% of the County population.) This growth in the elderly population is projected to continue at a rate of over two percent per year as compared to the overall population growth rate of one percent per year. The 2011 Hawaii Housing Planning Study reported that there were approximately 34,123 households with elderly members (at least one member 60 years or older) residing in the County. This amounts to 41% of all families in the County. The City of Hilo is the largest population center on the island with the main offices of the county government, branch offices of federal and state agencies located there. The island's major deep draft harbor and international airport are also located in Hilo. In addition to industrial, commercial and social service activities, the University of Hawaii at Hilo and Hawaii Community College, and affiliated research programs play an important role in Hilo's economy. Hilo and the rest of the east Hawaii communities are adjusting to the loss of the sugar industry in the mid 1990's. Industrial activities that remain include quarrying, construction material manufacturing and fabrication, storage, wholesaling facilities, garment manufacturing, processing and packaging of agricultural products and supportive services to businesses. Although the district enjoys some economic benefit from tourism, much of it is indirect through the spin-offs from the primary tourism activity in West Hawaii. 14) Land values: Real property tax records indicate that the assessed land value of 6.376 acre parcel utilized for Phase 1 project is $722,100 or approximately $113,250/acre. One acre parcels zoned A -la acre valued at approximately $200,000 while 10,000 square foot residential parcels are valued at approximately $150,000. 15) Land use: The character of land uses of the surrounding area is predominantly urban. Uses on two sides of the subject project area is primarily residential. Other land uses within a 1/z mile radius of the subject property including medical offices, support facilities for the astronomical observatories on Mauna Kea, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center. 10 16) Zoning: Parcels to the north and east of the project area are within the State Land Use Urban district and zoned for residential use. The parcel to the south designated for University use is zoned Agricultural one acre (A-1 a). D) PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES 1) Description of access: Access to the project site will be from Mohouli Street through a fifty -foot wide roadway dedicated to the County, named Kupuna Place. A 30 -foot wide access driveway from Kupuna Place provides access to the project area. There is a gate between the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project and the end of Kahikini Street in the neighboring Sunrise Ridge Subdivision. This gate is for emergency access only and will remain closed unless emergency access is required. 2) Availability of water: Water is available from an existing 12 -inch waterline within Mohouli Street. Phase 1 of the elderly housing project connected to the 12 -inch waterline from Mohouli Street and was extended into the access driveway — providing access and utilities to the remaining phases of the Project. In addition, the County Department of Water Supply required the applicant to connect a waterline from the end of the existing 6 -inch waterline on Kahikini Street, with a looped connection to the 8 -inch waterline installed in Phase 1 to provide adequate flow for the full build- out of the development. 3) Sewage disposal: The Project has connected to the County's existing wastewater system serving the adjacent Sunrise Ridge Subdivision. The sewer main was extended from Kahikini Street through a road and utility easement to service the first phase of the elderly housing project. Connections to the Phase 2 project and the Hilo Adult Day Center project were also approved by the County Department of Environmental Management (DEM) — Wastewater Divisiori. 4) Solid waste: There is no municipal collection system for solid waste in the County. All waste generated by the proposed project will be disposed at appropriate sites designated by the DEM. 5) Protective Services: There are two existing fire stations within two miles of the project area. The police station is situated approximately one mile away and the hospital is situated approximately two miles away. 6) Schools: The project area is served by the Hilo High and Hilo Intermediate School complexes situated approximately one mile north of the project area as well as the Chiefess Kapiolani School located approximately one mile east of the project area. 7) Parks: Two neighborhood parks, Mohouli and University Heights are situated less than lh away from the project area. Hilo is blessed with numerous recreational facilities including tennis, basketball, baseball, swimming pool, beach parks and passive parks within 2-3 miles of the project area. 8) Other utilities and services (telephone/electricity): The project area is served by electrical and telephone lines along Mohouli Street which have been connected to the Project. E) ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS 11 1) Relationship between local short term uses of environment and maintenance and enhancement of long term productivity: Most of the project area has been covered by the lava flow of 1881 and was characterized by rocky soils with secondary growth of ohia trees and uluhe ferns. The site was not in any productive use from at least the time of the lava flow. As such, approval of the subject State Land Use Boundary amendment will allow the more intensive use of the property which has already been established and will result in the continued utilization of the land in an efficient manner. 2) Mitigative measures proposed to avoid, minimize, rectify or reduce impact: Impacts resulting from the proposed State Land Use Boundary amendment are expected to be minimal. Any potential impacts have been mitigated by complying with all applicable code requirements. With regard to the recommendations provided by the DOI-F&WS in 2008, the applicant has complied with those recommendations throughout the development of the project to date. 3) Alternatives to the proposed development: In the event that the State Land Use Boundary Amendment and change of zone application are denied, the Agricultural designation will remain in place. The status of the 90 low-income senior rental units will be in question as well as the nearly completed Hilo Adult Day Center Project which represent a total development of $40.2 million dollars. 4) Irreversible and irretrievable commitments of natural resources that would be involved if the proposed action is implemented: The project area is not highly valued for any natural resources and not included in any designation by the ALISH classification system. As such, the conversion of these agricultural lands for an affordable housing project for low income seniors will not adversely affect the agricultural productivity or natural resource potential of the South Hilo district. 12 FIGURE 1 MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD APPENDIX A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT 1 Traffic Impact Analysis Report for Hawaii Island Community p p Development Corporation Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project _.� Hilo, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii Tax Map Key Number (3)2-4-001: 177 First Revision SEPTEMBER 2011 Prepared for: Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation 100 Pauahi Street, Suite 204 Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Prepared by: ASCOM 1001 Bishop Street Suite 1600 Honolulu, Hawal`i 96813 f- i I 1 HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project Hilo, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii Traffic Impact Analysis Report TMK: (3) 2-4-001: 177 First Revision September 2011 LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER * NO. 3893—C Expiration Date: April 30, 2012 This work was prepared by me or under my direct supervision. /71-*' Yom, Signature AECOM AECOM September 2011 September 8, 2011 Date PAGE i 60221434.0300 HICDC Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood TZAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT Table of Contents SECTION PAGE Engineer's Stamp and Signature............................................................:..................... i Tableof Contents.............................................................................. .............................ii List of Figures" ...............................................................................................................

TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT for the HAWAII ISLAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT FIRST REVISION The Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC) is proposing an elderly affordable housing project in Hilo, Hawaii. A Traffic Impact Analysis Report, prepared in December 2008, identified the traffic impacts of the proposed project and recommended mitigating measures. The HICDC is proposing to include an adult day care center to the project. This First Revision report documents a study that was conducted to identify the traffic impacts of the redefined project and to recommend any mitigating measures. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The HICDC is proposing to develop the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project, an elderly affordable housing project and adult day care center, in Hilo, Hawaii. The 15.948 -acre project site is on Mohouli Street, mauka of Komohana Street, as shown on Figure 1. The proposed project site is identified as Tax Map Key (3) 2-4-001: 177. The proposed project would include up to 150 residential units in multi -unit structures around a central seniors' activity core. it would be developed in two or three phases. Construction of the first phase with 60 units is expected to begin in the summer of 2012 and be completed by the end of 2013. The remaining one or two phases would be completed by 2017 for a total of 120 to 150 residential units, respectively. The adult day care center would be relocated from the former Hilo Hospital Building and would be ready for use in 2013 with an estimated enrollment of 100. There would also be 20 to 25 employees on-site depending on the attendance level for the day. The proposed project does not require rezoning and does not meet the concurrency requirements of AECOM PAGE 1 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision lc J 0 HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT County of Hawai'i Ordinance No. 07-99. The study analyzed 2017 as the only forecast year. Access to the project site would be from Mohouli Street through a 50 -foot roadway right-of-way (ROW) identified as Tax Map Key (3) 2-4-001: 178 that is on the western boundary of the site. This roadway would be shared with the County of Hawaii Fire Administration Support Complex. An emergency access will be provided through a gated connection to Kahakini Street. Vehicular and pedestrian access Will be blocked and opened only for emergency situations. Other roadways in the area include Komohana Street and Kukuau Street. The major intersections in the vicinity that would be affected by project .generated traffic include the Komohana Street, project access roadway, and Kukuau Street intersections with Mohouli Street, and the Komohana Street/Kukuau Street intersection. Figure 1, Location Map, shows the project site in relationship to the four study intersections. EXISTING CONDITIONS A survey of the existing roadway and traffic conditions was made in September 2009 and August 2011. Existing Roadways The roadways of interest in the project area are Mohouli Street, Komohana Street, and Kukuau Street. Mohouli Street and Komohana Street are two-lane County roadways classified as major collectors while Kukuau Street is a minor collector roadway. Mohouli Street provides mauka to makai access between Kaumana Drive and Kilauea Street. The older portion of the roadway, makai of Komohana Street, runs through a residential neighborhood and has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour (mph). The roadway was extended mauka from Komohana Street to the Kaumana Drive/Ainako Avenue intersection in 2002. The newer section of roadway has wide shoulders that AECOM PAGE 2 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision I HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT 3 could be used to widen Mohouli Street to four lanes and has a posted speed limit of 45 mph. The lands adjoining this section of roadway are currently mostly vacant. The new section of roadway provides residents of Kaumana Drive and Ainako Avenue with an alternate access route to the south and west sections of Hilo. Komohana Street runs in a general north to south direction between Waianuenue Avenue -and Ainaola Drive. The portion of roadway south of Puainako Street generally passes through residential areas while the northern section adjoins vacant lands. The posted speed limit is 45 mph. Komohana Street serves as a commuter route for residents in the south and west sections of Hilo to reach downtown Hilo, Hilo Hospital, and Hilo High School. _1 Kukuau Street is a two-lane County minor collector road. The older roadway section, makal of Komohana Street, runs through a residential neighborhood and intersects with Kapiolani Street. The newer roadway, mauka of Komohana Street, provides access to a mauka residential subdivision. The extension of Mohouli Street created a new 0 intersection on this roadway. The posted speed limit on Kukuau Street is 35 mph. } The Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection is signalized with protected left -turn movements on the Mohouli Street approaches and protected/permitted left -turns on the Komohana Street approaches. The northbound Komohana Street and eastbound } Mohouli Street approaches have separate left -tum, through, and right -turn lanes. The southbound Komohana Street and westbound Mohouli Street approaches have j separate left -tum and shared through/right-tum lanes. The Komohana Street/Kukuau Street intersection has stop sign controls on the Kukuau Street approaches. Both Komohana Street approaches have separate left -turn and shared through/right-tum lanes. The Kukuau Street westbound approach has a shared -I through/left-tum .lane and separate right -turn lane. The Kukuau Street westbound approach also has a single shared lane. AECOM PAGE 3 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT The Mohouli Street/Kukuau Street intersection has stop sign controls on the Kukuau Street approaches. Both Mohouli Street approaches have separate left -turn and shared through/right-turn lanes while the Kukuau Street approaches are single shared lanes. Traffic Volumes The current morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volumes are shown in Figure 2 } with volumes rounded to the nearest five vehicles per hour (vph). Traffic counts were taken during the morning (6:30 to 8:30 AM) and afternoon (3:30 to 5:30 PM) peak Iperiods. Traffic turning movement counts require a traffic surveyor to observe traffic 1 flow and record the movements of each vehicle crossing the intersection as through or -� turning movements at 15 minute intervals. The worksheets for these three traffic counts intersections are included in Appendix A. The traffic counts for the Komohana -� Street/Mohouli Street intersection were taken in 2009, while those for the two Kukuau Street intersections were done in 2007 for another study. Traffic counts were not taken at the two study intersections of Kukuau Street in 2009 since they serve 'stable neighborhoods and little traffic change was expected at these intersections from 9 9 P the traffic counts taken in December 2007. The 2007 volumes were adjusted slightly to match with the current (2009) traffic volumes at the adjoining intersections. The } adjusted volumes are shown in bold in Figure 2. -� The 2009 and 2007 traffic counts are still timely for 2011 given the small amount of land 1 use changes in the area. The U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration has issued a paper "Growth Factor for 2008 — 2010" that shows that traffic volumes on rural roadways across the State of Hawaii have decreased from 2008 1 to 2010. Also, the high fuel prices experienced in 2011 have caused a -yet y undetermined decrease in auto travel. Traffic turning movement counts were taken at the Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection in December 2007, October 2008, and September 2009 for this and other studies. The morning and afternoon peak hour traffic volumes for each year's counts AECOM PAGE 4 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision J HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT are shown on Figure 3. During the morning peak, the northbound volumes declined ` from 2007 to 2008 and then returned to the 2007 level in 2009. The southbound } volumes stayed level or declined slightly. Both northbound and southbound volumes in the afternoon peak remained steady from 2007 to 2008 and increased slightly in 2009. The main directions of travel in the morning peak are northbound on Komohana Street and makai bound on Mohouli Street. The main directions of travel reverse in the afternoon peak hour. The morning northbound traffic flow on Komohana Street is currently constrained by the backup of traffic from the Ponohawai Street intersection, which is the next signalized intersection to the north. The traffic volumes on the Kukuau Street approaches can be described as light. The main direction of travel in the morning is makai bound out of the subdivision. The afternoon direction of travel shifts to mauka bound into the subdivision. The current traffic operations at the four study intersections are discussed in the Level of Service Analysis section. The State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation (HDOT) used to take traffic counts every two years at selected roadway sections on the island of Hawai'i under their previous counting program. One of these count stations is at the Puainako Street/Komohana Street intersection (Station 18-Z), about a half mile south of the Mohouli Street intersection. Five daily traffic volumes were available for the ten year period from 1994 to 2004, with data for the year 2000 not reported. The data shown on Figure 4 gives the historical trend of daily traffic at this location on the north leg of Komohana Street and the makai leg of Puainako Street before the mauka extension of Puainako Street was completed. The graph shows a gradual increase in traffic from 1994 to 2004. Daily two-way traffic volumes on Komohana Street increased 14.8% in 10 years for an annual compound growth rate of 1.39%. This growth rate has decreased in recent years based on the observations discussed for the Mohouli Street intersection. AECOM - PAGE 5 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT j HDOT presently takes traffic counts on State and County roadways around the island. The patterns of hourly traffic volumes at two locations on Komohana Street in 2009, north of Puainako Street and south of Waianuenue Avenue, are shown in tabular and graph form on Figure 5. The morning northbound traffic flow has a steep one hour peak at 7:00 AM, and remains,at a lower but relatively stable level until 6:00 PM. The steep peak is due in part to the one-way traffic pattern implemented on Waianuenue Avenue from 7:00 to 7:45 AM. This one-way pattern forces traffic going to the Hilo Hospital and Hilo High School to travel northbound on Komohana Street to reach Waianuenue Avenue. The southbound traffic shows a small morning peak, a moderate midday peak, and a high afternoon peak at 4:00 PM. The HDOT also took a one time traffic count at the Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection on July 23, 2002. The pattern of hourly traffic volumes on Mohouli Street is shown in tabular and graph form 'on Figure 6. There is a sharp makai bound peak in I the morning and a sharp mauka bound peak in the afternoon. N"" PROPOSED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS 1 The FY 2011-2014 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) does not include any improvements in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project. The HDOT is pursuing the realignment and widening of Puainako Street from Komohana Street to Kanoelehua Avenue about a half mile south of the project site. Their efforts are being expended in a generally mauka to makai direction, The first phase involves the realignment of Puainako Street between Komohana Street and Kawili Street to the north so that the new roadway, which would be north of residences lining the existing 1 roadway, would become a local street. The STIP shows pre -ROW work in FY 2013 and right-of-way acquisition programmed in FY 2014. The second phase would involve widening Puainako Street makai of Kawili Street. This project would not affect traffic volumes within the study area. 1 AECOM PAGE 6 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PRO.IECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT The County of Hawaii approved the Wailani Center project in 2010. The development is a large mixed-use project which includes a medical office, commercial retail and business (technology) park facilities, and single family, multi -family and elderly residential units. The project will be developed in three phases through 2030 and is required to Implement mitigating traffic Improvements as the project develops. The j Wailani Center project site is about a half mile north of the Mohouli Heights Senior ll Neighborhood project location, between Komohana Street and Mohoull Street; therefore, its traffic improvements would have an impact on this project. The first phase of the Wailani Center project, scheduled for occupancy in about 2015, is required to widen Komohana Street to four through lanes at the Mohouli Street intersection and add a second left -turn lane on the westbound approach of Mohouli Street. These improvements were included in the ambient and total with project forecast analyses of this study. TRAFFIC FORECASTS - The proposed project Is scheduled for full occupancy In 2017. During the eight-year period from the 2009 traffic count date to full occupancy, ambient traffic on the area roadways can be expected to increase due to regional growth and new projects in the area. The traffic that would be generated from the proposed project was added to the ambient traffic forecast to obtain the total with project traffic forecasts for the one study forecast year. 1 Ambient Traffic Forecast s Ambient traffic on the study area roadways will Increase due to regional growth to the adjoining areas and new projects in the study area. A multi -step process was used to 1 develop the different components of the ambient traffic forecasts: 1. Background traffic forecast based on regional traffic growth and several committed projects. 2. Traffic which would be generated by proposed development at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo (UHH). AECOM PAGE 7 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision I HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT _I j 3. Traffic which would be generated by the County of Hawaii Fire Administration Support Complex. 4. Traffic which would be generated by the Wailani Center. 1 1. Background traffic forecast - The existing traffic volumes shown on Figure 2 were increased by 8.3% to represent the background regional growth. This number represents a 1.0% annual growth rate over an eight-year period. This 1.0% growth rate ^j is lower than the 1.4% annual traffic growth rate previously observed on Komohana !! Street from 1994 to 2004, but higher than the projected population growth for Hilo. The current County of Hawaii General Plan forecasts that population in the South Hilo District will increase from 46,273 in 2005 to 49,791 in 2020, a 7.6% increase in 15 -) years. The 7.6% population growth rate for South Hilo represents an annual 0.5% J growth rate and is lower than the 36% island wide growth rate forecast in the General Plan. ' The traffic, which would be generated by three County -approved projects on Ponohawai Street, was also included in the background traffic forecast. These projects are forecast to generate totals of 29 and 35 trips per hour in the morning and afternoon peak hours, respectively. Only six or less vehicles per hour (vph) would be added in each direction of travel on Komohana Street. The two components of background traffic were combined to form the 2017 background traffic forecast volumes shown on Figure 7, with volumes rounded to the nearest five vph, except for volumes less than five. j 2. UHH traffic forecast - Traffic which would be generated onto Komohana Street by three proposed UHH projects as forecast by their traffic studies were Included In this study: • China -U.S. Center • U.S. Department of Agriculture Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center • UHH Ka Haka `Ula O Ke'elikolani Hawaiian Language Building J AECOM PAGE 8 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mahouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT Although plans for the China -U.S. Center are changing, the new project is expected to generate a similar magnitude of trips as initial trips. The traffic forecast volumes from these three projects were then distributed along Komohana Street, Mohouli Street, and Kukuau Street in proportion to the existing traffic volumes. The results of the forecasts are shown on Figure 8 with volumes not rounded. The UHH Mauka Lands parcel across Mohouli Street from the project site was assumed not to be developed by 2017 and is not included in this analysis. 3. County of Hawai'i Fire Administration Support Complex traffic forecast - The proposed County of Hawai'i Fire Administration Support Complex would be developed on the adjacent property west of the proposed project. It was to be developed in three phases with expected openings in 2010, 2017, and 2027, but has been deferred j indefinitely due to lack of funding. For this study, it was assumed that the second phase would be operational by 2017; a forecast based on this assumption suggests that 48 trips will be generated during the morning peak and 62 trips will be generated during the afternoon peak. The traffic assignment for the second phase of the project was taken from the traffic impact analysis report prepared for the County of Hawai'i Fire Administration Support Complex and is shown on Figure 9. This project would utilize the existing roadway parcel (Tax Map Key (3)2-4-001: 178) accessing Mohouli Street which would be developed as a County -dedicated road. 1 4. Wailani Center traffic forecast - The first project phase of this proposed mixed-use } project is scheduled for occupancy in about 2015 and would include 100,000 square feet (sf) of medical office buildings and 100,000 sf of commercial center (retail) space. It is forecast to generate 400 hourly trips in the morning peak and 1,000 hourly trips in 1 the afternoon peak. The traffic assignment for the first project phase was taken from the traffic impact analysis report prepared for the Wailani Center and is shown on Figure 10. The first project phase would access Komohana Street only and will not - generate additional traffic on the mauka portion of Mohouli Street. AECOM PAGE 9 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision C J HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT The project generated traffic assignment forecasts for UHH (Figure 8), the Fire Administration Support Complex (Figure 9) and Wailani Center (Figure 10) were added to the 2017 background traffic forecasts (Figure 7) to obtain the 2017 ambient traffic forecast shown on Figure 11. The traffic operations for the ambient forecast conditions at the three study intersections and project access roadway are discussed in the Level ofService Analysis section. Project Generated Traffic The traditional three-step process of trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment was used to forecast future traffic that would be generated by the proposed project. The trip generation step forecasts the number of new trips that would be produced in each of the two study periods. The trip distribution step allocates these new trips by direction of travel. Finally, the trip assignment step assigns the trips to the specific turning movements at the study intersections. Separate analyses were conducted for the two project components: elderly residences and adult day care center. The trip generation step forecasts the volume of vehicle trips that would be generated by the proposed residential component during the morning and afternoon peak periods. The trip generation rates for a Senior Adult Housing -Attached (Land Use Code 252) as found in the Institute for Traffic Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation (Seventh Edition, 2003) report were used for the proposed project. The ITE report describes this land use as: "Senior adult housing consists of apartment -like residential units, including retirement communities, age -restricted housing and active adult communities. Attached senior adult housing may include limited social or recreational services, but typically lack centralized dining or medical facilities. Residents in these communities live independently, are typically active (requiring little or no medical supervision) and may or may not be retired." AECOM PAGE 10 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT 3 Since the proposed project could include 120 to 150 retirement units, the higher number of units was assumed for this analysis. The 150 multi -family units are forecast to generate 12 trips in the morning peak and 17 trips in the afternoon peak when project is -� fully occupied in 2017. The Trip Generation report also provides information on the percentage of inbound and outbound trips in each peak hour. The trip generation analysis is summarized on Table 1. -� The trip distribution step divides the generated trips by directions of travel to/from the project site. The proportion of trips to each of the four major travel corridors in the study area were based on the volume of existing trips entering and leaving the residential areas on Kukuau Street and are summarized on Table 1. The resultant number of trips to each study corridor is small (four or less) since the proposed project is not expected to generate many trips. The combined total volumes may not add up to the sum of the 3 individual components of generated trips due to rounding. The three-step forecast process was also conducted for the adult day care center. The Trip Generation report does not have trip rate information for adult day care centers. A traffic count was taken at the entrance to the current day care center site at the former Hilo Hospital building on Tuesday, August 9, 2011, to develop a trip rate data. During the morning peak hour from 7:30 to 8:30 AM, there were 38 inbound and 26 outbound trips. During the afternoon peak hour from 3:00 to 4:00 PM, there were 29 Inbound and 37 outbound trips. These results include vehicle trips to drop-off/pick-up attendees and by commuting employees. The number of Inbound and outbound trips for attendees was relatively balanced in each time period. The imbalance in total number of trips was caused by more Inbound employee trips In the morning and more outbound employee trips in the afternoon. The trip rates derived from these traffic counts are based on the 71 attendees present that day and summarized In a format similar to that of the Tri Generation report in the table on the following page. AECOM PAGE 11 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT Although the current day care center enrollment is 100 attendees, daily attendance range from 62 to 79 since the attendees have different daily attendance schedules. The higher attendance value of 79 was used for this analysis. The trip generation analysis summarized on Table 1 shows that the adult day care center will generate considerably more trips than the elderly residences. Trip distribution factors were developed based on the following information provided by the adult day care operator: • Attendee residences location distribution. • Approximately half of the drivers dropping off attendees are retired. These drivers usually come from home and return to home after both morning drop-offs and afternoon pick-ups._ • The other half of drivers are working and travel between their residence, the day care center, and their work location. The trip distribution for these worker trips were the same trip distribution factors used for the elderly residential units. The resultant trip distribution factors and analysis are shown on Table 1. The project generated traffic volumes for both components were assigned to the study area network based on the directions of travel and the access routes. Slightly more than half of the adult day care center generated trips (45+ vph during both peak hours) would utilize the south leg of Komohana Street and would travel to/from Puainako Street. This volume of traffic would not have any significant impact on the traffic AECOM PAGE 12 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision Number of Trips Trips per Percentage Distribution (%) Attendee Inbound Outbound Inbound Outbound AM Peak Hour (7:30 AM to 8:30 38 26 0.90 59 41 AM PM Peak Hour (3:00 PM to 4:00 29 37 0.93 44 56 PM Although the current day care center enrollment is 100 attendees, daily attendance range from 62 to 79 since the attendees have different daily attendance schedules.

The results of the traffic assignment analysis are shown on Figure 12, with the volumes not rounded. Total Forecast Volumes The project generated traffic assignment volumes from Figure 12 were added to the r ambient traffic forecasts from Figure 11 to obtain the total with project traffic forecasts shown on Figure 13. The traffic volumes are rounded to the nearest five vph except for � volumes less than five. The traffic operations for the total with project forecast conditions at the three study intersections and project access roadway are discussed in -] the Level of Service Analysis section. ' 1 LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS The concept of level of service is used to quantify the quality of traffic flow on roadway facilities. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) has developed procedures to calculate level of service value(s) by measuring traffic volumes against the capacities of different types of roadway facilities. Their Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000) i describes the various procedures developed for freeways, highways, signalized and unsignalized intersections, etc. -� The SYNCHRO computer software program was used to analyze the traffic operations 1 for the 2009 current volumes and 2017 ambient and total with project forecasts. j SYNCHRO is a computer software program used to model, optimize, and analyze traffic signal timings in a roadway network. It also analyzes unsignalized intersections. The program's mathematical calculations are based on the HCM 2000 and include the effects of traffic signal coordination and traffic actuation. The Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection is currently signalized. The methodology for analyzing signalized intersections calculates the levels of service for individual movements, approaches, and the intersection as a whole based on the average stopped delay per vehicle. The results range from level of service A (best with AECOM PAGE 13 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision i i HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT average delays less than ten seconds) to F (worst with average delays longer than 80 seconds) as described in the following table: SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE LEVEL OF CONTROL DELAY SERVICE PER VEHICLE Seconds/Vehicle A < 10.0 B 10.1 to 20.0 C 20.1 to 35.0 D 35.1 to 55.0 E. 55.1 to 80.0 F > 80.1 The County of Hawaii considers levels of service A to D as acceptable for signalized intersections, with levels of service E and F indicating the need for mitigating measures. For signalized intersections, the major streets may be designed to have a higher level of service than the minor streets or turning lanes. Level of service E conditions are sometimes tolerated for minor traffic movements such as left turn movements if they maintain acceptable levels of service on the major street. The level of service analysis for this intersection is shown on Table 2. It is operating at a minimally acceptable level of service D in the morning peak. The through lanes of the two approaches with the highest volumes, Komohana Street northbound and Mohouli Street eastbound, are operating at levels of service D and E, respectively, indicating the possible need for mitigating measures. The primary reasons for these poor levels of service are the high volumes of vehicles on single lanes of traffic. The intersection is operating at level of service D in the afternoon peak due to three problem movements. The high volumes of left -turns from the westbound approach of Mohouli Street are operating at level of service F and require more green time or an additional traffic lane. The left -tum movement from the northbound approach of AECOM PAGE 14 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood ProjectTlAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT 1 ,) Komohana Street is operating at level of service E. The high volumes of southbound through vehicles on Komohana Street are also operating at level of service E. The intersection is forecast to improve to level of service G in the 2017 ambient forecast AM peak hour with the proposed intersection widening. All of the movements are 1 forecast to operate at level of service D or better, indicating acceptable conditions. The intersection is forecast to continue operating at level of service D in the 2017 ambient PM peak with the proposed roadway improvements. The Komohana Street southbound through movement would improve from level of service E to D, and the Mohouli Street westbound left -turn movement would improve from level of service F to E. The level of service E on two left -turn movements could be tolerated since they help maintain the acceptable level of service for the intersection. For the morning peak period, the relatively small amount of traffic generated by the proposed project would have little impact on traffic operations as evidenced by the small increases in delay with no changes in levels of service between the ambient and total with project forecasts. Only two movements show changes from level of service C to D with the project since the ambient forecast delay value is on the threshold between changes in levels of service. During the PM peak hour, the Komohana Street 1 southbound through movement (and approach) changes from level of service D to E l since the ambient forecast delay value is on the threshold between changes in levels 1 of service. i The two study intersections on Kukuau Street are currently unsignalized. The procedure used for analyzing unsignalized intersections calculates vehicle delays and levels of service based on the distribution of gaps in traffic on the major streets and driver judgment in selecting gaps through which to execute turns. For two-way stop intersections where only the minor street traffic is controlled by a stop sign, levels of service are calculated for the critical turning movements including outbound movements from the stop -controlled approach, and left -turns from the major street to the minor street. The procedure does not calculate an overall intersection level of service. AECOM PAGE 15 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohoull Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision J HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT ? The HCM 2000 defines the relationship between level of service and delay (in seconds/vehicle) for unsignalized intersections as shown in the following table: UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE LEVEL OF DELAY SERVICE (SecondsNehicle) A < 10.0 B 10.1 to 15.0 C 15.1 to 25.0 D 25.1 to 35.0 E 35.1 to 50.0 F > 50.1 The County of Hawaii considers levels of service A to D as acceptable for unsignalized intersections. Level of service F (with average delays longer than 50 seconds) is considered undesirable for unsignalized intersections and would indicate the possible need for mitigation. Level of service F conditions could be tolerated if the delays are not 'j much higher than 60 seconds, traffic queues are short, and there are no reasonable mitigating measures available. 1 Table 3 summarizes the unsignalized intersection level of service analysis for the two study intersections on Kukuau Street. The traffic exiting the Kukuau Street eastbound approach at Komohana Street is currently operating at level of service F in both peak periods, indicating the possible existing need for mitigation. The traffic exiting from the westbound approach at Komohana Street is currently operating at level of service C and E in the morning and { afternoon peak periods, respectively. Since the high traffic volumes on Komohana Street occur for only,.a short period of the day and there are no reasonable mitigating actions, the existing traffic operations could be tolerated. AECOM ' PAGE 16 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TZAR First Revision HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT With the increase in ambient traffic to 2017, the outbound movements from both Kukuau Street approaches are forecast to operate at levels of service F in both peak periods with very high levels of delay. Traffic mitigation measures would be required at this intersection. Traffic signals could be warranted at this intersection in the future. The traffic impact analysis report for the Wailani Center calls for extensive improvements on Komohana Street to accommodate its future traffic, including widening Komohana Street to four lanes and identifying the possible need for traffic signals at this intersection. These improvements would reinforce the need for mitigating measures at this intersection to help traffic exit from Kukuau Street. The small number of trips generated by the proposed project and driving though this � intersection would not have any noticeable effect, as indicated by no changes in levels of service between the ambient and total forecast conditions. Traffic mitigation measures would be required for either forecast scenario. All four of the Mohouli Street/Kukuau Street intersection approaches are currently operating at acceptable levels of service in both peak hours. The increase in ambient traffic would cause the level of service on the Kukuau Street eastbound approach to change from C to a minimally acceptable D in the AM peak hour, while all the other approaches in both peak hours would remain unchanged at acceptable levels of service in both 2017 peak hours. The proposed project would generate small volumes of traffic such that it would not cause any changes from the ambient forecast conditions in both peak hours. This indicates that the proposed project would not have an adverse traffic jimpact on this intersection. The proposed project access roadway intersection on Mohouli Street is expected to be stop sign controlled. This roadway would be shared with the County of Haiwai'i's Fire Administration Support Complex which is deferred indefinitely. This study assumed that the second phase of the project would become operational in about 2017. With only the fire complex generated trips in the 2017 ambient traffic forecasts, the roadway is forecast to operate at level of service B for the outbound right -turn movement and level AECOM PAGE 17 60221434.0300 September 2011 HICDC Mohouli Heights Neighborhood Project TIAR First Revision r HICDC MOHOULI HEIGHTS SENIOR NEIGHBORHOOD PROJECT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT of service C for the left -turn movement in both peak hours. The small number of trips generated by the proposed project would not cause changes in the above levels of service in the morning peak hour. The outbound left -tum movement is forecast to change from level of service C to D during afternoon peak hours, which is considered minimally acceptable. Hence, mitigating measures may be unnecessary at this intersection. CONCLUSIONS The proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood is forecast to generate less than 100 trips during the morning and afternoon commuter peak hours, which is considered to be a relatively small number of trips. This additional traffic in itself would not require mitigating measures beyond those roadway improvements proposed by the Wailani Center. The Wailani Center project is adding additional traffic lanes at the Komohana Street/Mohouli Street intersection to accommodate the future growth in ambient traffic. The traffic forecast generated by Wailani Center project also identified the need for traffic mitigation at the currently unsignalized Komohana Street/Kukuau Street intersection. Traffic signals may be warranted at this intersection in the future as a mitigating measure. ' The currently unsignalized intersection at Mohouli Street/Kukuau Street will not require mitigation in the future due to the increases in ambient traffic. The project access roadway intersection on Mohouli Street can remain stop sign controlled.

The objective of the survey was to satisfy historic preservation regulatory review requirements of the Department of Land and Natural Resources -Historic Preservation Division (DLNR-SHPD), as contained within Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 13, DLNR, Subtitle 13, State Historic Preservation Rules (2003). No archaeological sites or features were identified during the survey, therefore the project is documented as an archaeological assessment pursuant to Chapter 13-284-5(SA). As required, this report contains a description of the project area, field methods and background research. Project Area Description The project area consists of a roughly rectangular -shaped 15.9 -acre portion of the 30.396 -acre TMK: (3) 2-4-01:168 (see Figure 2). The parcel is bordered on the northeast by Komohana Street, on the southeast east by the inland end of Mohouli Street, by a housing development to the northwest and by un- developed land to the southwest. The southeastern end of Kahaikini Street terminates along the northwest- ern side of the parcel. The parcel is densely vegetated with uluhe (false staghorn fern - Dicranopteris lin- earis Underw.), waiawi 'ula'ula (strawberry guava —Psidium cattleianum sabine), ohia (Metrosideros col- lina Forst.) and hapu'u (Hawaiian tree fern - Cibotium splendens Krajina - Figure 3). The project area ranges in elevation from c. 275 to 350 ft, with the terrain sloping slightly to mod- erately to the northeast. The surface throughout the parcel is comprised of Pahoehoe lava flows, defined as a miscellaneous land type by Sato et al. (1973). This land type is described below: This lava has a billowy, glassy surface that is relatively smooth. In some areas however, the surface is rough and broken and there are hummocks and pres- sure domes. (Sato et al. 1973:34). The surface lava in the project area was derived from two flows from Mauna Kea volcano (Figure 4 from Wolfe and Morris 2001). The entire project area was likely once covered with lava deposited from 750 to 1,500 year ago (k3 on Figure 4). A subsequent lava flow deposited during 1880 and 1881 (0) has flowed over the inland portion of the parcel. The rainfall in the vicinity of the project area ranges from 150 to 155 inches per year (Juvik and Juvik I998:57). Field Methods The field work portion of the project was conducted on October 6, 2008 by Dr. Alan Haun and Field Archaeologist Shane Rumsey, M.A. The field work portion of the project required 2 labor days to complete. The project area was subjected to 100% surface examination with the surveyors spaced at 10.0 m intervals. The transected were oriented in a north-northwest by south-southeast direction, parallel to Mohouli Street. No archaeological sites or features were identified and no cultural remains were recovered for analysis. Background Research The project area is situated in the ahupua'a of Waiakea in South Hilo District. The ahupua'a is one of the largest in the district covering over 95,000 acres. The ahupua'a extends along the coast from the west side of Hilo Bay to the Puna District boundary and inland to approximately 6,000 ft elevation. Much of the following is summarized from Hilo Bay: A Chronological History (Kelly et al. 1981), an extensive compendium of historical information about Hilo including Waiakea.

It C_' Hawaiian traditional and legendary accounts attest to the longstanding importance of Waiakea. The chief of the Hilo region, Kulukulu`a, who resided in Waiakea, was the first conquest of `Umi-a-Liloa in his campaign to unify the districts of Hawaii Island. Hilo with its large bay, fishponds, wet taro fields, and abundant freshwater was a population center for commoners and royalty. Kamehameha I and his court resided in Hilo in the 1890s. In preparation for his planned invasion of Kauai in 1802, Kamehameha built a canoe fleet at Hilo, reportedly consisting of 800 vessels. In 1824, a missionary station was established in Waiakea. Soon after, churches and schools were established. Whalers began stopping at Hilo in the mid -1820s. In the 1830s, a sawmill was built, and two stores were opened. By the end of the decade, a sugar cane plantation and mill were established on Pona- hawai lands. By 1857, there were three sugar cane mills in the Hilo area. Large tracts of land were put in cane cultivation and sugar cane was also grown by individuals around their houses. A sugar mill was estab- lished in Waiakea at the inland end of Waiakea Fishpond in the late 1870s. By 1880, 1,400 acres of sugar cane were in cultivation and by the end of the decade over 5,600 acres were cultivated. In the 1900s, the population of Hilo grew dramatically with the expansion of sugar cane cultivation, pineapple production, the timber industry, and other commercial developments. McEldowney (1979) used limited site inventory and historic documentary evidence to develop a traditional Hawaiian land use and settlement pattern model for the Hilo area. The model consists of five elevation -defined zones: Coastal Settlement, Upland Agricultural, Lower Forest, Rainforest, and Sub - Alpine or Montane. The Coastal Settlement Zone extended approximately 0.5 miles inland from the shore- line between sea level and 50 ft elevation. The zone was the most densely populated with both permanent and temporary habitations, high status chiefly residences, and heiau. Settlements were concentrated at Hilo Bay and sheltered bays and coves. The Upland Agricultural Zone was situated between approximately 50 ft and 1,500 R elevation. Settlement in the zone consisted of scattered residences among economically beneficial trees and agricul- tural plots of dryland taro and bananas. Lava tubes were utilized for shelter. A pattern of shifting cultivation is believed to have converted the original forest cover to parkland of grass and scattered groves of trees. Wetland cultivation of taro occurred along streams. The Lower Forest Zone ranged from 1,500 ft to 2,500 ft elevation. Timber and other forest re- sources such as medicinal plants, olona, and birds were gathered from the zone. Site types consisted of temporary habitations, trials, shrines, and minor agricultural features in forest clearings and along streams. Sites in the Rainforest Zone (2,500-5,000 ft elevation) and Sub -alpine or Montane Zone (5,000-9,000 ft) were limited to trails and associated- temporary habitations. These zones were used for intra -island travel and gathering of valued resources including hardwoods, birds, and stone for tool making. The project area is situated within the lower portion of McEldowney's Upland Agricultural Zone where scattered residences and agricultural plots were situated in prehistoric to early historic times. Historic site types in the project area vicinity likely included plantation agriculture -related features and residences. FINDINGS No archaeological sites or features were identified by the survey and no Land Commission Awards are present within the parcel based on review on tax maps. No further archaeological work is rec- ommended based on the negative survey results. C REFERENCES DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources) 2003 Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 13.

The proposed project is an affordable elderly housing project on 15 acres of undeveloped land at Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii [TMK (3) 2-4-001: portion of 168]. We are providing a list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in the proposed project area to help you identify potential impacts to listed species pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act 1973, as amended, [16 U.S.C. 1531-1544]. We have reviewed the information you provided and pertinent information in our files, including data compiled by the Hawaii Biodiversity and Mapping Program and the Hawaii GAP Program. Land cover information indicates that the proposed project area has classifications of open ohia forest and native uluhe shrubland. The federally threatened Newell's shearwater (Puffinus auricularis newelh), federally endangered Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia sandwichensis), Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), and Hawaiian hawk (Buteo solitarius) have been observed in the project vicinity. There is no federally designated critical habitat located in the vicinity of the project. We offer the following recommendations to help avoid and minimize project impacts to listed species. Outdoor lighting can result in seabird disorientation, fallout, and injury or mortality. Potential impacts to seabirds can be minimized by: 1) shielding outdoor lights associated with the project, particularly when used during each year's peak fledging period (September 15 through December 15); 2) avoiding night-time construction; and 3) providing all project staff with informatioi! regarding seabird fallout. To avoid impacts to the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat, woody plants suitable for bat roosting should not be removed or trimmed during the bat birthing and pup rearing season (April to TAKE PRIDES I NAM E R I CA Mr. Brian T. Nishimura 2 August). If this avoidance measure can not be implemented, bat surveys should be conducted and, if this species is found, our office should be contacted for further assistance. We hope this information assists you in determining potential impacts to listed species and avoiding and minimizing these impacts. If you have any additional questions, please contact Aaron Nadig, Fish and Wildlife Biologist, Consultation and Technical Assistance Program (phone: 808/792-9400; fax: 8081792-9581).

BACKGROUND: In connection with a previous request by the County of Hawaii, the Board of Land and Natural Resources approved a set aside of approximately 5 acres for a Fire Administration Facility on what is labeled as "Lot 2" on the map attached labeled as "Exhibit B". The map attached as "Exhibit B" is the subdivision map prepared by the County's consultant in connection with the previous request in meeting a condition to subdivide Fire Administration parcel. The subdivision action will create two remainder parcels, Lot 1 containing approximately 9.091 acres and Lot 3 containing approximately 15.948 acres. By letter dated January 10, 2008, Mayor Harry Kim is requesting the Board's approval fora set aside to the County of Hawaii for the parcel identified as "Lot 3" on Exhibit B containing approximately BLNR - Set Aside to Page 3 February 22, 2008 County of Hawaii for Elderly Affordable Housing 15.98 acres. The County of Hawaii would like to develop the subject newly subdivided parcel for an elderly affordable housing project. The County of Hawaii proposes to work with the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), a Hawaii non-profit corporation, through a long- term lease, in the development of a series of senior residences. The County has successfully worked with HICDC on a number of other elderly and affordable housing projects. Upon agreement on the long-term lease, the proposed agreement will be brought to the Board for its consent as required pursuant to Chapter 171-11, HRS. The following is a summary of the proposed project and development concept: Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Location The proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood is located in the heart of Hilo town at the intersection of Komohana and Mohouli Streets. This central location provides ready access by short vehicle trips to all financial, medical, retail and personal services available in Hilo. This location is also convenient for Hilo, Puna and Hamakua residents who wish to visit their senior relatives and friends residing in Mohouli Heights. The Plan The proposed Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood is planned to be developed as an integrated series of senior residences focused around a central activity core. This core complex would form the nucleus of the neighborhood and would encourage continuing social interaction by the resident seniors as well as supplying much needed services. As presently envisioned the complex would contain up to 250 residential units in multi -unit structures. The units will primarily be one bedroom units, while studio and two bedroom units are possible depending on the demand and financing available. All units would be accessible or adaptable to make daily living easier for all tenants. The units would be arranged in 30-40 unit clusters, a scale that encourages neighbor to neighbor relations. Covered walkways are planned between the clusters and connecting to the central core. This will help the neighborhood remain functional throughout the typical Hilo weather pattern. The central core will be composed of one or more structures that contain spaces for activities essential for daily living. These functions are planned to include: © A transit center where residents can be picked up and dropped off © Beauty/Barber Shop Small convenience retail space BLNR - Set Aside to Page 4 February 22, 2008 County of Hawaii for Elderly Affordable Housing a - Visiting doctor office e Office space for visiting agencies. © Activity Rooms, e.g. an arts and crafts room ® Mini -Theatre o Central kitchen and eating area Exercise Room The grounds would include parking and areas for outdoor activities. These uses would beset in a landscape that is appropriate for Hilo's climatic conditions. The planned outdoor uses include: Raised garden plots scattered throughout the site m Potting shed ® Exercise path o Fenced dog run o Barbeque areas ® Outdoor eating and lounging areas Target Market This neighborhood is planned for seniors 62 years of age and older. The income ranges would include those qualifying for low and moderate income housing and would be matched to the various complexes based on the project financing. Rents and Financing At this time all units are planned to be rental units. The rents would be established by the financing programs which are anticipated to include the frill range of state and federal programs for low and moderate income residents. Phasing The initial phase would include all environmental and planning studies, including the development of a master plan for the entire site. Subsequent phases would include incremental development of the residential complexes and central core. Services It is anticipated that a variety of public and private agencies will be providing services in the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood. These services are expected to include transportation, exercise, personal and professional care. Meal services will be sought consistent with the limitations imposed by the various funding programs.

Water can be made available from an existing 12 -inch waterline within Komohana Street and an existing 12 -inch waterline within Mohouli Street, both fronting the subject parcel. Prior to issuing a water commitment for the proposed project, the Department would request estimated maximum daily water usage calculations prepared by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Hawaii for review and approval, showing the estimated water demand for the proposed non-residential uses of the subject parcel. Unless otherwise approved by the Manager, the estimated average daily usage for each residential unit shall be 400 gallons per day (GPD) or a maximum daily usage of 600 GPD. After review of the calculations, the Department will determine the water commitment deposit amount, facilities charges due, and any water system improvements required for final approval. Pursuant to Rule 5 of the Department's Rules and Regulations, if the water requirements for the project exceed 120,000 GPD, the developer may be required to enter into a Water Development Agreement with the Water Board. Please be informed that any meter(s) serving the proposed project will require the installation of a reduced pressure type backflow prevention assembly within five feet of the meter on private property. The Department must inspect and approve the installation before water service can be activated.

No. 1806SN09 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 Archaeology Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Mr. Yee: SUBJECT: Chapter 6E-8 Historic Preservation Review— State land Use Boundary Amendment Application (SLU 18-000051) for the HICDC Waiakea Ahupua`a, South Hilo District, Island of Ha`vai`i TMK: (3) 2-4-001:177,185 and 186 This letter provides the State Historic Preservation Division's review of the subject State Land Use (SLU) Amendment application received by our office on June 1, 2018. The application indicates that the applicant/lessee, Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), is requesting a SLU amendment from Agriculture to Urban for the subject parcels. The proposed project area consists of three contiguous parcels totaling 9.379 -acres. The parcels are owned by the County ofHawai`i. A review of our records indicates that this project area has been subjected to an archaeological inventory survey by Haun (2008). The AIS identified no archaeological historic properties. The report was reviewed and approved by SHPD in a letter dated November 17, 2008 (Log No. 2008.5033, Doc. No. 0811MD24). The project area has been fully impacted by urban development. There are no outstanding mitigation commitments for these parcels and aerial photographs confirm that this project area has been previously impacted. Based on available information, SHPD's determination is no historic properties affected for the proposed boundary amendment. Therefore, the permit issuance process may proceed. Please contact Sean Naleimaile at (808) 933-7651 or at Sean.P.Nale'Imalle(Dhaw2iiXroy for any questions or concerns regarding this letter. Aloha, %,Y., [�, l�7 Susan A.

No. 1806SN09 Pauahi Street, Suite 3 Archaeology Hilo, HI 96720 Dear Mr. Yee: SUBJECT: Chapter 6E-8 Historic Preservation Review— State land Use Boundary Amendment Application (SLU 18-000051) for the HICDC Waiakea Ahupua`a, South Hilo District, Island of Ha`vai`i TMK: (3) 2-4-001:177,185 and 186 This letter provides the State Historic Preservation Division's review of the subject State Land Use (SLU) Amendment application received by our office on June 1, 2018. The application indicates that the applicant/lessee, Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), is requesting a SLU amendment from Agriculture to Urban for the subject parcels. The proposed project area consists of three contiguous parcels totaling 9.379 -acres. The parcels are owned by the County ofHawai`i. A review of our records indicates that this project area has been subjected to an archaeological inventory survey by Haun (2008). The AIS identified no archaeological historic properties. The report was reviewed and approved by SHPD in a letter dated November 17, 2008 (Log No. 2008.5033, Doc. No. 0811MD24). The project area has been fully impacted by urban development. There are no outstanding mitigation commitments for these parcels and aerial photographs confirm that this project area has been previously impacted. Based on available information, SHPD's determination is no historic properties affected for the proposed boundary amendment. Therefore, the permit issuance process may proceed. Please contact Sean Naleimaile at (808) 933-7651 or at Sean.P.Nale'Imalle(Dhaw2iiXroy for any questions or concerns regarding this letter. Aloha, %,Y., [�, l�7 Susan A.

Lands formerly used for sugarcane production are now being developed into communities where residential homes, schools and commercial businesses are being constructed. Chemicals associated with the sugarcane industry persist in soil today and may be a threat to public health and the environment. Elevated arsenic levels were discovered in soil at former sugarcane production areas on the islands. The HEER Office has identified former sugarcane production areas for assessment throughout the state and pians to work with property owners to conduct environmental assessments to identify and address elevated soil arsenic levels prior to finalizing development plans for the properties. We recommend that you review all of the Standard Comments on our website: http://hawaii.gov/health/environmental/env-planning /landuse/landuse.htm]. Any comments specifically applicable to this project should be adhered to. The same website also features a Healthy Community Design Smart Growth Checklist (Checklist) created by Built Environment Working Group (BEWG) of the Hawaii State Department of Health. The BEWG recommends that state and county planning departments, developers, planners, engineers and other interested parties apply the healthy built environment principles in the Checklist whenever they plan or review new developments or redevelopments projects. We also ask you to share this list with others to increase community awareness on healthy community design.

M ir_�cerely, < Scott E. Enright, Chairperson Board of Agriculture c: Office of Planning ; Land Use Commission e j RHICDC (Phases I &2)-SLU.shw 07/17/2018 COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION HAWAII ISLAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (HICDC) STATE LAND USE BOUNDARY AMENDMENT APPLICATION (SLU 18-0000511 Upon careful review of the request, the Planning Director recommends that a favorable recommendation for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment be forwarded to the County Council. Since this recommendation is made without the benefit of public testimony, the Director reserves the right to modify and/or alter this position based upon additional information presented at the public hearing. The favorable recommendation is based on the following findings: The applicant, the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC), is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 9.379 acres of land, which is the current site of Phases 1 and 2 of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project, which aims to provide affordable housing and related senior services in South Hilo, made available by Governor's Executive Order No. 4224. Completed in 2014 and occupied since then, Phase 1 of the project consists of 60 -senior housing units. Phase 1 development cost was $20 million. Phase 2 consists of 30 -senior housing units, which finished construction in 2017 and been occupied since, and the Hilo Adult Day Center facility, which is nearing construction completion. Phase 2 development cost for the senior housing units was $11.4 million. The Hilo Adult Day Care facility development cost was $8.8 million and is on schedule to finish later this year. The project was initially separated into four (4) phases for financial reasons. Phase 3 originally consisted of 60 -units and Phase 4 originally consisted of 32 -units. However, when financing was awarded for the combined 92 -units, Phases 3 and 4 were consolidated and referenced as Phase 3, which is currently under construction with a total estimated project cost of $26.4 million. -1- The approval of the reclassification from the State Land Use Agricultural to the Urban District for approximately 9.379 acres will not be in violation of Section 205-2, Chapter 205, Hawaii Revised Statutes, nor will it be inconsistent with the Land Use Commission Rules, the County General Plan and the Hawaii State Plan. Under the Land Use Commission Rules, one of the standards for considering an area for urban reclassification states that, "In determining urban growth for the next ten years, or in amending the boundary, land contiguous with existing urban areas shall be given more consideration than non-contiguous land, and particularly when indicated for future urban use on state or county general plans." The project area conforms to this standard as it is, situated adjacent to existing urban -designated lands to the north and is designated as future urban growth (Medium Density Urban) on the County's Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) snap in the General Plan. On April 20, 2010, Resolution No. 328-10 designated the zoning for Parcel 177 as RM -4. On June 3, 2016, Resolution No. 536-16 designated the zoning for Parcels 185 and 186 as RM -3. The applicant's request to designate 9.379 acres into the Urban District reflects the intent of the County of Hawaii Resolution Nos. 709-08, 328-10, 311-15 and 536-16 and the Governor's Executive Order No. 4224 to set aside and develop the land for elderly, affordable rental housing and related purposes for the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals and policies of the Land Use and Housing elements of the General Plan. The Urban District request would be consistent with the goals, policies and standards of the Land use -Multiple Family Residential and the Housing Elements of the Hawaii County General Plan by encouraging the construction of specially designed facilities or communities for elderly persons needing institutional care and small home care units for active elderly persons in the South Hilo district. The LUPAG Map component of the General Plan is a representation of the document's goals, policies, standards and courses of action. It is also a graphic depiction of the physical relationship between the various land uses. The LUPAG Map establishes the basic urban and non -urban form for areas within the County. The Urban District dA request conforms to the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide (LUPAG) Map, which designates this area as Medium Density Urban. Thus, the area under consideration is consistent with the urban form established for this section of South Hilo as depicted on the LUPAG Map. The urban classification conforms to the standard that the development is within reasonable proximity to centers of trading and employment and to basic services such as schools, police and fire protection, transportation systems and water. Access is from Mohouli Street onto Kupuna Place (an approximately thirty-foot paved area within a fifty -foot wide roadway parcel owned by the State but managed by the County under the EO No. 4224) then onto a paved portion within an approximately 70 -foot wide road and utility easement leading to the subject properties. There is an existing 10 -feet wide no vehicular access easement on the subject properties fronting Mohouli Street. There is an emergency access gate between the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project and the end of Kahikini Street in the adjacent Sunrise Ridge Subdivision, which will remain closed unless an emergency access is required. In their June 22, 2018, the Department of Water Supply confirmed that each parcel has an existing service assigned to it from the existing 8 -inch waterline along the roadway within the parcels. Therefore, the Department has no objections to the proposed application. The applicant indicated that all waste generated by the Project will be disposed of at appropriate sites designated by the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) Solid Waste Division. The sewer main extension from Kahikihi Street through a road and utility easement services Phase 1. The County DEM Wastewater Division approved the sewer connections that services Phase 2 elderly housing project and the Hilo Adult Day Center facility. The applicant shall be responsible for ongoing compliance with Federal, State and County laws, codes, rules, regulations and requirements for this project. Police, fire protection and emergency medical services are located in Hilo, less than two miles from the property. Electricity, cable and telephone are available to the site. Urban Districts shall include lands characterized by "city -like" concentrations of people, structures, streets, urban level of services and other -3- related land uses. The project site is located in an urban -like setting adequately served by transportation and utilities. Commercial establishments and other amenities are available within close proximity. The reclassification will allow the property to be used for the existing development ofthe affordable senior housing units and Hilo Adult Day Center facility of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood project. The reclassification action would conform to the following goals, objectives and/or policies of the housing element articulated in the Hawaii State Plan. The request would be consistent with the following goals, objectives and/or policies articulated in the Hawaii State Plan as it will provide greater opportunities for Hawai`i's elderly to rent an affordable unit in an area in which housing has become scarce and costly. • Promote alternatives to institutional care in the provision of long-term care for the elderly populations. • Seek to use marginal or non-essential agricultural land and public land to meet housing needs of low and moderate -income and gap -group households. • Effectively accommodate the housing needs of Hawai`i's people. • Promote design and location of housing developments taking into account the physical setting, accessibility to public facilities and services, and other concerns of existing communities and surrounding areas. Thus, the proposed project is consistent with the policies outlined in the Hawaii State Plan. The properties have no severe geological or topographical problems which cannot be properly rectified or which would render the land unusable. According to the Department of Public Works — Engineering Division, the subject parcel is in an area designated as Zone X on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Zone X is an area determined to be outside the 500 -year floodplain. All development -generated runoff shall be disposed of on site and not directed toward any adjacent properties. A drainage study shall be prepared and the recommended drainage system shall be constructed meeting the approval of the Department of Public Works. All earthwork activity, including grading and grubbing, shall conform to Chapter 10, Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of the Hawaii County Code. Any improvements to the subject property must comply with Chapter 27 of the Hawaii County Code, relating to Floodplain Management. Thus, the reclassification meets the standard which states that the lands included within the urban district, "...shall be those with satisfactory topography and drainage and reasonably free from the danger of floods, tsunami and unstable soil conditions and other adverse environmental effects." The Hawaii Right to Fann Act, HRS Chapter 165, was enacted to protect farming operations on land in the State Land Use Agricultural District when adjacent land is reclassified out of the Agricultural District. A condition of approval will require the applicant notify prospective purchasers, tenants or lessees of the Hawaii Right to Fann Act. Therefore, the reclassification of the 9.379 -acre area from the Agricultural to the Urban designation will not be detrimental to the reduction of this area from the agricultural land inventory in the County of Hawaii. Furthennore, an Urban classification would complement the existing and future land use pattern of the surrounding area in view of the urban uses already in existence in close proximity to the subject properties. Based on the above, the approval of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment from the Agricultural to the Urban District complements the State Land Use District Regulations and County General Plan and is supportive of the Hawaii State Plan. The accompanying draft bill to amend the State Land Use Boundaries Map is provided for your favorable consideration. Please note the proposed conditions of approval attached to the draft bill. -5- COUNTY OF HAWAII ORDINANCE NO. STATE OF HAWAII BILL NO.

APPLICANT: HAWA_I`I ISLAND COMMUNITY -DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (SLU 18-000051) Application for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for approximately 9.379 acres of land. The subject properties are located about 608 feet west of the intersection of Mohouli Street and Komohana Street in the Waiakea Cane Lots, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii; TMK: (3) 2-4-001:177,185 and 186. CLARKSON: With that, we'll start with the first item on the agenda which is Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation, application for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment. Please proceed.- WATANABE: Thank you. Aloha mai kakou. Hope that everyone is having a good morning. The Applicant is the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation or HICDC. This is for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment. This is the location map. The three subject properties are highlighted in red, and they are about 608 feet away from the Komohana and the Mohouli Street Extension in the South Hilo District. The Applicant is requesting a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for 9.379 acres of land consisting of three adjacent parcels, 177, 185, and 186, which is the current site of Phases 1 and 2 of the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood Project under the Governor's Executive Order No. 4224 and the new Hilo Adult Day Center facility. On Parcel 177, Phase 1 consists of 60 senior housing units completed in 2014 and occupied since. On Parcel 186, Phase 2 consists of 30 senior housing units completed in 2017 and occupied since. On Parcel 185, the construction of the new Hilo Adult Day Center facility is nearing completion. In 2017, the Applicant submitted an application for Phase 3, which is the Planning—which the Planning Commission forwarded a favorable recommendation to the County Council and notified the Applicant to submit a State Land Use Boundary Amendment for the remaining phases of this project. The County Council approved Ordinance No. 18-16 for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment for Phase 3. In answering the Planning Cominission's request, the Applicant submitted this application on May 3rd, 2018. This is the Applicant's overall site plan. Phase 1, shown in yellow, consists of the 60 units. Phase 2, in this picture it says "under construction" but it is completed. There are 30 units there. In the purple is the Hilo Adult Day Center which is nearly complete. And, Phase 3, which construction has not yet started, has gone through the State Land Use Boundary Amendment approval process. This is the Applicant's existing site plan. This is a closer view of the three -areas of Phase 1 shown in the yellow, Phase 2 in the orange, and the Hilo Adult Day Care in the purple. This is the existing Phase 1 elevations plan. The Applicant provided this existing Phase 2 senior housing elevation. This is the existing Hilo Adult Day Center -facility elevations. This is the Hawaii County zoning map. The subject three, the three subject properties are highlighted in red, so Phase 1 is designated as RM -4, Multiple Family Residential. The light brown is RM -3. That's for the Phase 2 and for the Hilo Adult Day Center. Neighboring properties, excuse me, neighboring properties are Residential, showing the Residential District in the yellow and the Agricultural in the green. This is the State Land,Use Boundary Map. The subject properties are in the State Land Use Agricultural District, and the pink shows the State Land Use Urban District. This is the General Plan Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map. The three subject properties are Medium Density Urban as is. Phase 3 which is completed. Adjacent to the three properties is also Medium -Density Urban. - _ This is an aerial photograph of the subject properties. The photo was taken a while ago so for Phase 2, the Hilo Adult Day Center, the facilities aren't shown there, but they're there, and then Phase 1 was completed at the time this photo was done. This is the same photo without the highlighted colors here so that just shows Phase 1 and then the improvements going in for Phase 2, but this area is already complete. The Planning Director recommends a favorable recommendation for the State Land Use Boundary Amendment to the County Council. And, that concludes my presentation. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. 2 CLARKSON: Any questions for staff from the Commission? If not, will the Applicant or their representative please come forward? Would you raise your right hand to be sworn in, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Planning Commission today? KATO: Yes. CLARKSON: Would you please introduce yourself, where you reside, and then proceed. KATO: My name is Keith Kato. I'm the executive director of the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation. I live in Papa`ikou. So, this, you know—well, okay, so we're here I think because there was some different interpretations of the.procedures that were to be followed. We did a 201H, you know preemption or exeinption,process for all of these facilities, and as we were developing them, the LUC staff questioned using that process to change the State Land Use District. You know, the theory that we had been operating under is that so long as it's less than 15 acres, it's within the jurisdiction of the County. You know, there's this provision in 201H that things within the County's jurisdiction could be dealt with, you know, through the process. And, to be honest with you, this is not the first time this process had been used. It's been, we've been doing it for several years actually. - r But, anyway, to clean up the record, you know, we are, -you know, back before the Planning Commission with this application. You know; as the staff has pointed out, Phase 1 for senior housing, 60 units has been completed. Phase 2 -has been completed. That's 30, and they are still both fully occupied. And, the Adult Day Center is probably going_to be completed either late this month or early next month. CLARKSON: Thank you. Are there any questions for the Applicant from the Commission? If not, thank you. We may have some later, but probably not. Is there anyone here wishing to testify on this matter from the public?- If not, I'll ask for a motion that public testimony be closed. DELA CRUZ: So moved. IKEDA: Second: -- CLARKSON: It's been moved and seconded that public testimony be closed. All in favor? COMMISSIONERS: Aye. CLARKSON: Opposed? Motion carried. Public testimony is closed. Is there any discussion from the Commission? If not, do we have a motion for action? IKEDA: Mr. Chairman, I move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application of the State Land Use Boundary Amendment, Docket No. SLU 18- 000051 based on the Planning Director's recommendations, findings, and proposed conditions which shall be adopted. Q DELA CRUZ: Second. CLARKSON: Before we vote, I just forgot one thing. I forgot to ask the Applicant whether you had received the Background Report from the Planning Director and you are willing to agree with all conditions and recommendations. KATO: To be honest with you, I don't recall receiving it. It may have gone to our consultant. Could I just briefly review what they are? [Mr. Darrow went over the Background and Recommendation Reports with Mr. Kato.] Yeah, thank you, for this indulgence. Yeah, we have no objection to the conditions. CLARKSON: Okay, thank you. Please poll the Commission.. WATANABE: We apologize for you not receiving the conditions: _Commissioner Ikeda? IKEDA: Aye. WATANABE: Commissioner Dela Cruz? DELA CRUZ: Aye. = WATANABE: Commissioner Aguinaldo? AGUINALDO: Aye. WATANABE: Commissioner Replogle? REPLOGLE: Aye. WATANABE: And, Chair Clarkson? CLARKSON;- Aye. WATANABE: The motion carries five to zero. Thank you. CLARKSON: You'll be notified in writing of the action of the Commission today. KATO (from audience): Thank you.
