"II. To ensure that the Goals and Policies of the Housing Element of the General Plan

Article 1, Hawaii County Code, relating to Affordable Housing Policy. This
requirement shall be approved by the Administrator of the Office of Housing and
Community Development prior to receipt of Final Site Plan Approval and/or Final
Subdivision Approval for any subdivision creating single-family residential lots,
whichever occurs first. The reduction in minimum lot sizes and the increase in
density permitted by Section 11-8, Hawaii County Code, for affordable housing
built on-site shall not apply to this project district because the reduction in
minimum lot sizes has already been incorporated into the conditions of this
project district zoning, and the limit on residential units stated is meant to include
2
affordable units built on-site. Applicant shall satisfy its affordable housing
requirements by on-site construction of units, and not utilize any affordable
housing credits generated off-site, except those credits generated in the MCX-
zoned area of the subject property. Further, as represented b the applicant, all
affordable housing units shall not exceed 100% of the average median income."
Due to the limited scope of these amendments, a draft copy of the bill that would result if these
proposed amendments were approved is not attached.
Thank you.
