Aaron S.Y. Chung, Council Chair and Members of the County Council County of Hawai`i Page 3 including walking and bicycling paths and the Pu`u Honu cinder cone, and supporting infrastructure on approximately 171.504 acres of land. The development was originally proposed to be constructed in three phases over a 15-year period. The applicant proposed to develop an extension of Ponahawai Street from its intersection with Komohana Street through the project site to the Mohouli Street Extension, two loop roads to serve the senior housing and medical office campus, and a cul-de-sac from the Mohouli Street Extension to serve the multiple-family residential and large lot single- family residential uses south of the Alenaio Stream drainage channel. The applicant's amendment requests, along with reasons, are stated below. We will address each condition specifically by stating the applicant's request and reasons for the request and state the Planning Director's recommendation and reasons for the recommendation for each requested condition amendment. Language proposed to be deleted is in brackets, language proposed to be added is underlined. Applicant's Requested Amendments of Conditions D and E: Condition D: The number of single-family and multiple-family residential units allowed shall be [518] 700 units, [which includes a maximum 333 senior housing units] inclusive of any on-site affordable housing units designed to address the requirements of Chapter 11. Article 1, Hawai`i County Code, relating to Affordable Housing Policy. The density for multiple- family residential uses shall not exceed 35 units per acre. Condition E: The maximum square footage of the medical office campus, commercial center, and business park uses shall be [480,000] 420,000 square feet. No single commercial business may contain more than 45,000 square feet in gross floor area. Applicant's Reasons for Amending Conditions D and E The applicant requests to amend Condition D by increasing the maximum number of residential units from 518 to 700, inclusive of any on-site housing units designed to address the affordable housing requirements of Condition JJ. While it is the intent of the WPD to also have a senior housing component, it does not necessarily want to be married to that potential requirement. Concurrently, it would like to amend Condition E by reducing the maximum allowable commercial square feet from 480,000 to 420,000 square feet.
