2019-02-07 Hearing Transcript - Wailani Development Amend REZ 10-117

Home

And, the amendment to Condition KK, this is the fair share condition, is to add the following language, and I will go ahead and read this, "This provision shall not apply to any housing units constructed within the Wailani Project District and defined as `affordable' by Chapter 11" in the Housing Code. So basically, this would allow for an exemption from a fair share requirement for any affordable housing unit. And, lastly, Condition 00, this is the standard administrative amendment condition, and I'm sorry, administrative time extension condition, and the Applicant is proposing to preserve this condition and allow for an administrative time extension for any of the conditions in the ordinance that have timing requirements Generally, the Applicant's reasons for the request is for the time extension in these amendments in order to make the Wailani Project District development financially feasible by reducing some of the infrastructure requirements allowing options to address infrastructure requirements and allowing the ability to time the infrastructure improvements to be concurrent with the actual development they're designed to serve as well as increasing the residential uses and decreasing the commercial components of the project. Again, back to the property, this is the County zoning map for the area. You can see the Wailani Project District property is shown in gray, and that is the Project District zoning which allows for commercial, residential uses anywhere throughout the Project District, and I'll show you their master plan in the next slide or at the next few slides. You can see that surrounding the property to the north, there are three residential subdivisions. You have Kaumana Gardens, Crescent City Heights, and Piihonua Houselots. These are all zoned Single -Family Residential which is shown in the yellow. To the east is the medical center at the top of Ponahawai. This little road here is called Pu`uhonu, Pu`uhonu Place, and the medical development extends all the way over in this area. These properties have some mixed zoning, Agricultural, Commercial. The properties towards the top are currently vacant. There is a physical therapy office and multi -family development up in this area. And, then to the south, you have the Sunrise Ridge Estates Subdivision. This is shown in the RS -10 zoning in this area. Further south is a State-owned lot which is zoned Agricultural – 1 acre, and to the west across Mohouli Street Extension is a large vacant area that's actually the Alenaio Stream Drainage Way, and then a new subdivision to the north. I believe that's called Lakeview Estates, which consists of Agricultural – 1 acre sized lots. The General Plan designation for the property is Medium Density Urban which allows for a mix of commercial and Multi -Family, Single -Family Residential units. This is an aerial photo of the property. Again, you can see all the surrounding residential uses to the north and southeast, and this subdivision is becoming fairly developed now. There's more houses than are shown on this image. You can see the Alenaio Stream running through the property in an east -west direction and then the bridge where the stream crosses Komohana is generally in this area right here. So, this is the Applicant's original master plan that was approved in 2011, and Komohana Street would be on the right side of the slide. Ponahawai Street in this area here. And, then Mohouli Street would be on the left side of the slide. So, on each—each end of the property adjacent to EXHIBIT B 4
