Transit-Oriented Development Conceptual Master Plans for Kapalama and <br /> Moanalua Kai (Shafter Flats), Oahu <br /> The State of Hawaii, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands retained PBR HAWAII to assist in the <br /> preparation of conceptual master plans for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) for DHHL <br /> properties in Kapalama and Moanalua Kai/Shafter Flats. The master plan process included: 1) site <br /> assessments, market studies, and preliminary financial assessments to identify the context and <br /> opportunities for potential TOD development and 2) a week-long charrette with representatives <br /> from DHHL. The project goal was to assist DHHL in determining the feasibility of potential <br /> development scenarios and land uses that can help the agency capitalize on the advantages of TOD <br /> and its related benefits, within the context of the agency's mission, values, and land use <br /> regulations. <br /> A major focus of the site assessments was to analyze the impacts that various sea level rise <br /> scenarios may have on long-term development opportunities and financial investments on the <br /> properties due to the proximity to waterways, low existing elevations, existing flooding in the <br /> Moanalua Kai area, and exposure to sea level rise conditions. <br /> Multiple sea level rise scenarios were considered to identify uncertainties of timing and <br /> magnitude of impacts to the properties. Scenarios included: 1) maintaining existing facilities and <br /> providing lease extensions (limited reinvestment on the properties) 2) complete redevelopment <br /> of facilities including mitigation strategies (major investment on the properties) and 3) phased <br /> redevelopment of the properties that allows flexibility in decision making based on changing sea <br /> level rise conditions over time (flexible adaptation approach). The scenario analysis identified <br /> costs associated with various strategies, and <br /> opportunities for income generation to inform <br /> suggested TOD development on the properties. <br /> El KiL 11. <br /> The sea level rise projection graphic below representsin , ' `_ _ ' <br /> sea level rise scenarios and anticipated buildinglife -' ''' -- ill\ <br /> spans based on the magnitude of sea level rise, -:. ` <br /> development approach, and implementation of '�. - <br /> mitigation strategies.
