Amendment to Change of Zone Ordinance No.07-26 <br /> Hawaii Island Veterans Memorial,Inc. <br /> (_. <br /> • The sewer stub-outs and access driveway/box culvert off Kawili Street were constructed in late 2016. <br /> • . CVC/CBOC architectural and associated engineer plans were designed to US Department of <br /> Veterans Affairs (USDVA) specifications and submitted to the County Planning Department for Final ( ' <br /> Plan Approval. Its review and approval is expected following the subject COZ Ordinance amendment <br /> and time extension request. <br /> • Status of the search for partnership for the development and operation of the CVC/CBOC: Since the <br /> inception of HIVM in 2004, it has been the organization's vision to create a one-stop location for ( ` <br /> veterans' services provision in East Hawaii. This will streamline the delivery of services and greatly ( <br /> reduce the inefficiencies that veterans currently experience. HIVM has and continues to engage the <br /> US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in bringing this vision to Hilo. Tripler VA has once again <br /> turned to its parent agency and congress to request$10M in federal CIP funds for FY-2018 to build <br /> and operate a new combined CVC/CBOC in Hilo. Successful funding, however, will be contingent <br /> upon congressional approval and VA priorities nationally. <br /> However, in the event attempts with the VA is unsuccessful, HIVM has initiated discussions with <br /> other Hawaii-based health care operators to seek alternative funding partners who currently hold <br /> VA Choice Program contracts. { <br /> D.4 Senior Affordable Housing { <br /> HIVM has partnered with EAH/HKI Kawili LLC for the development of the affordable senior housing <br /> component of the Project and obtained a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from EAH Housing, a .C <br /> non-profit housing corporation specializing in developing, managing, and operating quality affordable <br /> • housing and diverse communities, with projects in Hawai'i and California. t.. <br /> r" <br /> • EAH intends to develop 68 affordable rental units for seniors (with preference to veterans and their { . <br /> spouses) age 62 and above who earn 30-80% of HUD median income, with approximately 20 of <br /> those units for 50-80% of HUD median income. Through discussions with HIVM, EAH/HKI Kawili <br /> LLC has elected to (1) reduce the number of units to 68 from 110, and (2) offer the housing units c _ <br /> as rentals rather than the previously proposed "lease-hold life estates" both as described in the <br /> Final Environmental Assessment(Yukie Ohashi Planning Consultant, LLC, July 2006). <br /> • EAH/HKI Kawili LLC. HKI Kawili LLC is currently working with the County on the Ground Lease for <br /> TMK: 2-4-057:030 pursuant to County Resolution 252-17. The Lease is expected to receive BLNR <br /> approval in August 2018. <br /> • HIVM has initiated and received approval from the BLNR to modify the narrow language in the <br /> existing Executive Order to allow other income-eligible non-veteran seniors to occupy units in the <br /> absence of a sufficient veteran pool of renters (See Exhibit 9). <br /> 6 <br /> t-- <br />
