Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 14 This cost will add, at a minimum, $8,000 to $13,000 more to the cost of developing a multiple-family or single-family residential unit. In so doing, because the profit (if any) margin is already very small, having this requirement waived would make the production of these units more feasible. Further, it would make it more feasible to target the moderate to low income instead of the moderate to moderately higher categories. Additionally, it could incentivize developers to develop more affordable units instead of constructing only the required 20% minimum.
