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 �� I Him <br /> FI - i II <br /> the impacts that various sea level rise scenarios may <br /> have on long-term development opportunities and ` _ <br /> g- P PP '�����financial investments on the properties due to the <br /> proximity to waterways, low existing elevations, _ �. <br /> existing flooding in the Moanalua Kai area, and <br /> exposure to sea level rise conditions. - u3 <br /> Multiple sea level rise scenarios were considered to w'`' / <br /> identify uncertainties of timing and magnitude of , . ,:.2 .,� / <br /> impacts to the properties. Scenarios included: 1) maintaining existing facilities and providing lease <br /> extensions (limited reinvestment on the properties) 2) complete redevelopment of facilities <br /> 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 opportunities for income generation to inform <br /> suggested TOD development on the properties. <br /> The sea level rise projection graphic below represents sea level rise scenarios and anticipated <br /> building life spans based on the magnitude of sea level rise, development approach, and <br /> implementation of mitigation strategies. Overall, this approach allowed DHHL to comprehensively <br /> consider the potential magnitude of investment against uncertain futures of sea level rise to better <br /> understand opportunities for return on investment and associated limitations. <br /> kw <br /> 40, <br /> I <br /> , <br /> m Ij c h�y <br /> Moanalua Kai Kapalama <br /> IPBRHAWA1I <br />
