Reason: a. Standard. In compliance with § 25-2-46(d), HCC, a Draft TIAR was prepared by Fehr &Peers (June 2017) ("Report") for the proposed amendment request (Exhibit 7), even though the proposed Project generates only six (6) trips above the threshold for which a TIAR is required under § 25-2-46, HCC. Section 25-2-46(e), HCC, requires mitigation if the Level of Service ("LOS") is either: (a) currently worse than the acceptable LOS, or(b) projected to become worse than the acceptable LOS during the 5-year period of the TIAR. Where the LOS deficiency is due to roadway or intersection deficiencies in the immediate vicinity of the project, the conditions of zoning shall require "local mitigation". "Local mitigation" consists of improvements to road and intersections that are in the immediate vicinity of a project, including channelization of intersection, turn lanes into a project and similar improvements. b. TIAR. The Report analyzed the potential project-related traffic impacts and operations at the Puainako Street/Kekela Street/KTA Shopping Center east driveway("Kekela intersection"), and two additional intersections6. Kekela Street is a County owned and maintained road, with jurisdictional review by the County Department of Public Works ("DPW"). The Report concluded that the LOS levels at the two study areas: (a) Puainako Street/Kilauea Avenue, and (b) Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersections operate at an overall desirable (LOS D or better) during both peak hours. The Kekela intersection currently operates at LOS F in the PM peak hour, and is anticipated to still operate at LOS E or F in the future (5-, 10- and 20-year forecasts) without the proposed Project. Due to the modest scale of the proposed Project, the addition of the Project trips from the proposed Project would not further degrade the current LOS E or F operations. The Report further concluded that both Project driveways are anticipated to serve G The study area also included the: (a)Puainako Street/Kilauea Avenue and(b)Puainako Street/Kanoelehua Avenue intersections.
