Aloha Madam Chair and members of the county council,
Here is a video narrated by Sherry Bracken for Big Island Video News of the Federal Emergence '
Management Agency's designated floodways running through the Kona Vistas
property. https://youtu.be/baf0pdtc5xE ==
As rainfall events reach ever-more historic levels, Kona's floodways will begin to overflow more
often. Because Kona's FEMA floodways are immature and subject to channel overflows and course
changes, the impacts to downhill properties will be catastrophic.
Look at the General Plan, Flooding, North Kona section and see that this is an area that, while in the urban
expansion area, should not be developed. This guidance is further described in the Kona CDP and Chapter
27 of the county code.
Clearly, this area should be preserved as open space and for natural and cultural resource preservation.
It is a high flood risk area not suitable for residential or commercial development.
Mahalo,
Chuck Flaherty

Re: Opposition to Bill 169, Draft 2
Aloha Madam Chair and members of the county council,
There is no economic or political justification for this development for the following
reasons:
Housing
This development will not provide additional affordable housing. I repeat. This
development will not provide additional affordable housing. It will only provide the
number of affordable housing units required for a residential development.
I have attached a study completed by Keyser-Marston Associates for the City and
County of Honolulu. As you can see from the table below, 20% affordable housing unit
will only supply the number of affordable units needed to accommodate the 80% market
rate homes. It does not provide additional housing units for our county.
Cumulative Inclusionary Percentage to Mitigate Increased Affordable Housing Need
Single Family Low-Rise Mid-Rise Condo High-Rise Condo Rental
Townhomes (PUC) Apartment
Extr. Low (up 3.8% 3.5% 3.1% 4.1% 3.1%
to 30%AMI)
Very Low (up 10.5% 9.5% 8.8% 11.1% 8.7%
to 50%AMI)
Low (up to 16.5% 15.1% 14.0% 17.4% 13.8%
80%AMI)
Moderate (up 19.8% 18.2% 16.9% 20.9% 16.7%
to 120%AMI)
140% Tier 20.5% 18.9% 17.6% 21.7% 17.3%
(up to 140%
AMI)
In addition, the Governor's housing emergency proclamation is being implemented to
accelerate and prioritize 201 H affordable housing developments. These are
developments that construct 50% + 1 affordable housing units.
Bottomline, there is no economic or political justification for passing Bill 160, Draft 2.
Flooding
The county council should consider and apply Kona Community Development Plan
Chapter 4.3 "Environmental Resources", Section 2. "Overall Strategy", paragraph b.
"Turning Stormwater Management into an Asset. If the mauka lands are able to
mitigate some of the surface stormwater runoff, there is still a challenge in managing
stormwater runoff because of Kona's steep topography and undefined drainageways.
The objective is to identify the drainageways where the major stormflows would be
directed, provide a buffer to these drainageways to account for our imperfect
knowledge, and to design these drainageways to function as recreational or open space
amenities (e.g., linear parks).
The following KCDP Policies and Actions must be considered and applied when
considering Bill 169, Draft 2.
Policy ENV-1.7: Flood Corridors. The County's
Central Environmental Resources Inventory (see Policy ENV-1.1) should include the
FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
100-year floodplains, as well as planned natural flow ways identified by the Stormwater
Management Program (see Policy PUB —4.7), where predevelopment offsite runoff
from existing and future development will be directed. Collectively, the FIRM floodplains
and the planned flow ways may serve as open space amenities, such as linear parks
and/or greenbelts between urbanized areas.
Action ENV-1.7a: Develop priorities and financing strategies to improve accuracy
and comprehensiveness of flood mapping (DPW, 2-3).
Action ENV-1.7b: Budget and hire contractor to study feasibility of regional
stormwater management systems, such as flow ways (DPW, PD, 2-3).
Action ENV-1.7c: Identify corridors to be recommended for public open space
pursuant to Policy ENV-2.2 Open Space Network Program (PD, DPW, 3-5)
Policy ENV-1.9: Improvements Proposed Adjacent to Drainage Facilities. New
construction, improvements to repetitive loss structures, and substantial improvements
proposed adjacent to drainage facilities outside of the special flood hazard areas
identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps shall be subject to review and approval of
the director of public works in compliance with HCC 27-25.
Action ENV-1.9a: Supports Chapter 27 pursuant to Policy ENV-1.9 (on-going)
Cultural Resources
The county council must consider Policy CR-1.1, "Cultural Resources Commission
(CRC): "Cultural Resources Commission (CRC). The Action Committee should work
closely with the County of Hawaii Cultural Resources Commission to implement the
Kona CDP's goals, policies, and actions for Kona, along with the General Plan..."
I hope the county council will respect the recommendation of the Cultural Resources
Commission and the KCDP Action Committee. Please respect the constitutionally-
protected rights and resources of kanaka maoli.
For these reasons, as well as many more involving infrastructure, please vote against
Bill 169, Draft 2.
Mahalo,
Chuck Flaherty

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) prepared this residential nexus analysis for the City and
County of Honolulu pursuant to a contractual agreement. This Executive Summary contains a
concise overview of the residential nexus analysis; full documentation of the analysis is
contained in the body of the Report and its Appendices.
A. Residential Nexus Analysis
A residential nexus analysis demonstrates and quantifies the impact of new market rate housing
development on the demand for affordable housing. The underlying nexus concept is that the
newly constructed market rate units represent net new households in Honolulu. These
households represent new income in Honolulu that will consume goods and services, either
through purchases of goods and services or`consumption' of government services. New
consumption translates to jobs; a portion of the jobs are at lower compensation levels; low
compensation jobs relate to lower income households that cannot afford market rate units in
Honolulu and therefore need affordable housing.
The City and County of Honolulu has requested this Residential Nexus Analysis in conjunction
with the consideration of potential inclusionary requirements applicable to new residential
development in Oahu as one component of the proposed Housing Oahu: Islandwide Housing
Strategy. The purpose of this Residential Nexus Analysis is to provide information about the
impact that new residential development has on the need for affordable housing and to
determine inclusionary housing percentage and in-lieu fee requirements that are proportionate
to these impacts and sufficient to fully mitigate them.
1. Impact Methodology and Models Used
The analysis is performed using two models. The IMPLAN model is an industry accepted,
commercially available model developed over 30 years ago to quantify the impacts of changes
in a local economy, including the employment impacts of changes in personal income. The input
into the IMPLAN model is net new personal income in Honolulu available for expenditures; the
IMPLAN model then estimates a distribution of expenditures and ultimately produces a
quantification of jobs generated by industry. IMPLAN is based on a similar methodology to the
Hawaii's State Input Output Study developed by the Department of Business Economic
Development and Tourism. The analysis uses the IMPLAN data set for Honolulu. The KMA
Jobs Housing Nexus model, which was initially developed over 25 years ago to analyze the
income structure of job growth, is used to determine the household income of new employee
households and identify how many are in five housing affordability tiers ranging from Extremely
Low-Income up through 140% of Area Median Income (AMI).

1110 • new jobs, a share of which are low paying

• new demand for affordable units
.
To illustrate the linkages by looking at a simplified example, we can take an average household
that buys a house at a certain price. From that price, we estimate the gross income of the
household (from mortgage rates and lending practices) and the portion of income available for
expenditures. Households will "purchase" or consume a range of goods and services, such as
purchases at the supermarket or services at the bank. Purchases in the local economy in turn
generate employment. The jobs generated are at different compensation levels. Some of the
jobs are low paying and as a result, even when there is more than one worker in the household,
there are some lower and middle-income households who cannot afford market rate housing in
Honolulu.
An underlying assumption of the analysis is that households that purchase or rent new units
represent net new households in Honolulu. The nexus does not make the argument that
construction of new units is solely responsible for population and household growth. Household
growth in Honolulu occurs through a combination of natural increases in population and
relocations from off-island. Construction of new residential units is a major contributing cause to
population and household growth because without new housing supply, population and
household growth would not continue to occur over a sustained period. In the short-term,
population growth may occur without additions to the housing supply through accommodating
additional people within the existing housing stock. However, over the long-term, households
would not continue to relocate to Honolulu from off-island if they could not find adequate
housing available. Without construction of new housing, out-migration could also become more
of a factor offsetting natural increases in population as households seek places where housing
is more available. Families may respond to a lack of adequate housing by delaying childbearing
or having fewer children. Recent college graduates born in Honolulu may decide not to return
based on challenges in finding adequate housing.

2. Market Survey and Residential Prototypes
The first step of the nexus analysis is to identify residential prototypes that are representative of
what is generally being built by the private marketplace in Honolulu. KMA developed
programmatic assumptions in consultation with the City and County of Honolulu for five
residential prototypes—four ownership prototypes and one rental prototype. KMA then
undertook a market survey of projects covering these prototypes to estimate sales prices and
rent levels for the prototype units. The prototypes are designed to be representative of averages
for residential development activity occurring island-wide as described in the Appendix 1 market
survey. The prototypes are summarized in the following table.
Prototypical Residential Units
Single Low-Rise Mid-Rise High-Rise Rental
Family Townhomes Condo Condo(PUC) Apartment
Avg. Unit Size 1,700 SF 1,200 SF 1,000 SF 1,000 SF 900 SF
Avg. Sales Price/Rent $700,000 $575,000 $525,000 $700,000 $2,500/mo.
From the sales prices and rent levels, household income is determined using assumptions with
respect to a share of income spent on housing and housing purchase terms. For ownership
units, 37% of income is spent on housing (including mortgage payments, property taxes, home
owner association dues, and insurance) based on the current average for new purchase home
loans being underwritten in Honolulu. Renters are assumed to spend 30% of their income on
rent, a relationship commonly used in housing policy to establish affordable rent levels relative
to income.
Gross household income is adjusted to a net amount available for expenditures after deducting
the portion of income dedicated to income taxes, contributions to Social Security and Medicare,
savings, and repayment of household debt. Housing costs are not deducted as part of this
adjustment step because they are addressed separately as expenditures within the IMPLAN
model. In addition, an adjustment is made to account for rental vacancy and a share of
ownership units likely to be used as second homes and occupied only part of the year. The
adjusted household income available for expenditures becomes the input into the IMPLAN
model. As a result, household income and expenditures associated with each of the prototypes
is as follows:

The nexus analysis is conducted on 100-unit project modules (i.e., 100 new households) for
ease of presentation and to avoid awkward fractions.
3. IMPLAN Model Results
The IMPLAN model was applied to link household income to job growth occurring in Honolulu.
IMPLAN data sets are available for each county in the United States and are tailored to reflect
the economic base in each area. The analysis uses the IMPLAN data set for Honolulu. The
IMPLAN model distributes spending among various types of goods and services based on data
from the Consumer Expenditure Survey and the Bureau of Economic Analysis Benchmark
input-output study, to estimate employment generated. Job creation, driven by increased
demand for products and services, is projected for each of the industries that will serve the new
households. The employment generated by this new household spending is summarized in the
following table.
Jobs Generated Per 100 Units

industries
The IMPLAN model quantifies jobs generated at establishments that serve new residents
directly (i.e. supermarkets, banks or schools), jobs generated by increased demand at firms
which service or supply these establishments (wholesalers, janitorial contractors, accounting
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 4
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
firms, or any jobs down the service/supply chain from direct jobs), and jobs generated when the
new employees spend their wages in the local economy and generate additional jobs.
Retail, restaurants, and health care represent the largest share of jobs generated by household
expenditures.
Employment estimates represent net new jobs after making a 17% downward adjustment to the
IMPLAN employment estimates based on the expectation that a portion of jobs will be filled by
existing workers who already have housing. The 17% adjustment is based upon job losses in
declining sectors of the local economy over a historic period. "Downsized" workers from
declining sectors are assumed to fill a portion of the new jobs in sectors that serve residents.
4. Compensation Levels of Jobs and Household Income
The output of the IMPLAN model —the numbers of jobs by industry— is then entered into the
Keyser Marston Associates jobs housing nexus analysis model to quantify the compensation
levels of new jobs and the income of the new worker households. The KMA model sorts the jobs
by industry into jobs by occupation, based on national data, and then attaches local wage
distribution data to the occupations, using recent data for Honolulu from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics Occupational Employment Survey. Further description is provided in Section III. C.
The KMA model makes a conversation from number of employees to the number of employee
households, recognizing that there is, on average, more than one worker per household, and
thus the number of housing units in demand for new workers is reduced. The calculation is
shown in the table below. For purposes of the adjustment from jobs to housing units, the
average of 1.92 workers per working household in Honolulu is used, which is a higher number
of workers per household than in other jurisdictions KMA has performed similar analyses.
Application of the 1.92 factor effectively assumes the existing pattern of high numbers of
workers per housing unit will continue and result in a reduced need for affordable units.

Net new worker households 29.0 26.2 24.1 31.1 23.5
The output of the model is the number of new worker households by income level (expressed in
relation to the Area Median Income, or AMI) attributable to the new residential units and new
households in Honolulu. Five categories are addressed: Extremely Low(under 30% of AMI),
Very Low (30% to 50% of AMI), Low (50% to 80% of AMI), Moderate (80% to 120% of AMI),
and a "140% AMI Tier" representing household incomes from 120% to 140% of AMI.

\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
Following are the numbers of worker households by income level associated with the Honolulu
prototype units.

Greater than 140%AMI 3.2 2.9 2.7 3.4 2.6
Total, New Households 29.0 26.2 24.1 31.1 23.5
The above findings represent the number of new affordable units required to offset the new
affordable housing demand associated with services to each 100 new market rate residential
units.
5. Inclusionary Percentages Supported
Nexus findings regarding the number of affordable units needed per 100 market rate units can
be converted to a percentage of units provided on-site within a project that would fully mitigate
the affordable housing impacts. The percentages are calculated including both market rate and
affordable units (for example, 25 affordable units per 100 market rate units translates to a
project of 125 units; 25 affordable units out of 125 units equals 20%). Each tier is cumulative, or
inclusive of the tiers above. The purpose of showing the figures on a cumulative basis is so they
can be readily compared to potential inclusionary requirements that may be considered. As an
example, for new single family projects, the analysis indicates that an inclusionary requirement
of 19.8% with affordable units available to households earning up to 120% of AMI would be
sufficient to mitigate the affordable housing needs of service worker households earning up
through 120% of AMI. The percentages represent the inclusionary requirement that would be
sufficient to fully offset the increased affordable housing need from the services and service
workers that support the new residential development.

140%Tier(up to 140%AMI) 20.5% 18.9% 17.6% 21.7% 17.3%
6. Impact Fee Levels Supported by the Nexus Analysis
The last step in the analysis puts a dollar amount on the cost of mitigating the affordable
housing impacts. The conclusions of the nexus analysis, expressed as the number of worker
households by income affordability category, are linked to the cost of delivering housing to the
households in need. Each income or affordability tier is associated with a subsidy needed to
produce and deliver a unit at the specified affordability level; this subsidy is referred to as the
`affordability gap.'
Affordability gaps are calculated for each of the five affordable tiers. The analysis assumes
households earning less than 80% of Area Median Income will be assisted in rental units, while
households earning between 80% and 140% of Area Median Income will be assisted in
ownership units.
The resulting affordability gaps are as follows:
• $367,300 for households in the under 30% AMI category;
• $288,300 for households in the 30% to 50% AMI category;
• $169,300 for households in the 50% to 80% AMI category;
• $69,850 for households in the 80% to 120% AMI category; and
• $0 (no affordability gap) for households in the 120% to 140% AMI category.
No affordability gap is indicated for the 140% AMI Tier based on sales prices affordable to this
income level and development costs for affordable townhome units'.
When the affordability gap conclusions for each income tier are linked to the number of
affordable units required per 100 market rate units and divided by 100 units, the result is a Total
Nexus Cost per new market rate residential unit. The results per unit are:
' Development costs are higher for other for-sale unit types such as high-rise.There would be an affordability gap associated with
providing 140%AMI affordable units in other more expensive product types.

These costs express the total linkage or nexus costs for the five prototype developments in
Honolulu. These total nexus costs represent the cost of creating new affordable units to offset
increased affordable housing needs associated with new market-rate residential development.
The totals are not recommended levels for fees; many other policy considerations may
be brought to bear in selecting appropriate in-lieu fee requirements.

II. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW
This report documents and quantifies the linkages between new market-rate residential
development in Honolulu and the demand for additional affordable housing. The analysis, which
demonstrates support for an affordable housing requirement, has been prepared by Keyser
Marston Associates (KMA) for the City and County of Honolulu in accordance with a contractual
agreement.
Analyses of the impacts of new development are called linkage or nexus analyses. This nexus
analysis establishes inclusionary requirements and fee levels that are proportionate to the
impact that new market rate residential development has on the need for affordable housing.
The City's Draft Housing Oahu: Islandwide Housing Strategy proposes that a new inclusionary
housing requirement be considered as one of many strategies to produce affordable housing
islandwide. Under the strategy's proposed requirements, residential projects with 10 or more
units would be required to set-aside a percentage of units as affordable, construct units offsite,
or pay a fee in-lieu of providing units. This analysis is intended to provide information to assist in
the design of proposed requirements by identifying a set of affordable housing requirements that
are proportionate to the impact new market rate residential development has on the need for
affordable housing and which are reflective of the affordable housing needs of workers
employed in services to new market rate residential development.
The Nexus Concept
At its most simplified level, the underlying nexus concept is that the newly constructed units
represent net new households in Honolulu. These households represent new income in Honolulu
that will consume goods and services, either through purchases of goods and services or
"consumption" of governmental services. New consumption translates to jobs; a portion of the
jobs are at lower compensation levels; low compensation jobs relate to lower income households
that cannot afford market rate units in Honolulu and therefore need affordable housing.
Purpose and Use of This Study
The City and County of Honolulu requested this Residential Nexus Analysis in conjunction with
the consideration of potential inclusionary requirements applicable to new residential development
as a component of the proposed Housing Oahu: Islandwide Housing Strategy. The purpose of this
Residential Nexus Analysis is to provide information about the impact that new residential
development has on the need for affordable housing and determine inclusionary housing
percentage and in-lieu fee requirements proportionate to these impacts and which are sufficient to
mitigate them. We caution against the use of this study, or any impact study for that matter, for
purposes beyond the intended use. All impact studies are limited and imperfect, but can be helpful
for understanding the externalities created by new development. The nexus analysis presented in
this report is an impact analysis only and the nexus amounts are not recommended requirements.

Methodology and Models Used
The methodology or analysis procedure for this nexus analysis starts with the sales price or
rental rate of a new market rate residential unit, and moves through a series of linkages to the
gross income of the household that purchased or rented the unit, the income available for
expenditures on goods and services, the jobs associated with the purchases and delivery of
those services, the income of the workers doings those jobs, the household income of the
workers and, ultimately, the affordability level of the housing needed by the worker households.
The steps of the analysis from household income available for expenditures to jobs generated
were performed using the IMPLAN model, a model widely used for the past 35 years to quantify
the impacts of changes in a local economy, including employment impacts from changes in
personal income. From job generation by industry, KMA used its own jobs housing nexus model
to quantify the income of worker households by affordability level.
To illustrate the linkages by looking at a simplified example, we can take an average household
that buys a house at a certain price. From that price, we estimate the gross income of the
household (from mortgage rates and lending practices) and the portion of income available for
expenditures. Households will "purchase" or consume a range of goods and services, such as
purchases at the supermarket or services at the bank. Purchases in the local economy in turn
generate employment. The jobs generated are at different compensation levels. Some of the
jobs are low paying and as a result, even when there is more than one worker in the household,
there are some lower and middle-income households who cannot afford market rate housing in
Honolulu.
The IMPLAN model quantifies jobs generated at establishments that serve new residents
directly (e.g., supermarkets, banks or schools),jobs generated by increased demand at firms
which service or supply these establishments, and jobs generated when the new employees
spend their wages in the local economy and generate additional jobs. The IMPLAN model
estimates the total impact combined.
Net New Underlying Assumption
An underlying assumption of the analysis is that households that purchase or rent new units
represent net new households in Honolulu. If purchasers or renters have relocated from
elsewhere in Honolulu, vacancies have been created that will be filled. An adjustment to new
construction of units would be warranted if Honolulu were experiencing demolitions or loss of
existing housing inventory. However, the rate of housing unit removal is so low as to not warrant
an adjustment or offset. On an individual project basis, if existing units are removed to
redevelop a site to higher density, then there could be a need for recognition of the existing
households in that all new units might not represent net new households, depending on the
program design and number of units removed relative to new units.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 11
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
The nexus does not make the argument that construction of new units is solely responsible for
population and household growth. Household growth in Honolulu occurs through a combination
of natural increases in population and relocations from off-island. Construction of new
residential units is a major contributing cause to population and household growth because
without new housing supply, population and household growth would not continue to occur over
a sustained period. In the short-term, population growth may occur without additions to the
housing supply through accommodating additional people within the existing housing stock.
However, over the long-term, households would not continue to relocate to Honolulu from off-
island if they could not find adequate housing available. Without construction of new housing,
out-migration could also become more of a factor offsetting natural increases in population as
households seek places where housing is more available. Families may also respond to a lack
of adequate housing by delaying childbearing or having fewer children.
Since the analysis addresses net new households in Honolulu and the impacts generated by
their consumption expenditures, it quantifies net new demands for affordable units to
accommodate new worker households. As such, the impact results do not address nor in any
way include existing deficiencies in the supply of affordable housing.
Geographic Area of Impact
The analysis quantifies impacts occurring within the City and County of Honolulu. The majority
of jobs related to services to new households are anticipated to be located on Oahu. The
IMPLAN model computes the jobs generated in Honolulu /the island of Oahu and sorts out any
jobs located off-island. The KMA Jobs Housing Nexus Model is then used to analyze the income
structure of the jobs and their worker households. In summary, the KMA nexus analysis
quantifies all job impacts occurring within Honolulu and related worker households.
Market Rate Residential Project Types
Five prototypical residential project types were selected for analysis in this nexus study. The
prototypes were intended to represent the range of product types currently being built in
Honolulu or which are expected in the future including:
• Single Family
• Low-Rise Townhomes2
• Mid-Rise Condo
• High-Rise Condo (PUC)
• Rental Apartments
2 The Townhome prototype is typically all wood frame construction and can include conventional townhomes and
other similar all wood frame prototypes such as stacked flats.

Affordability Tiers
The nexus analysis addresses the following five income or affordability tiers:
• Extremely Low Income (under 30% of Area Median Income or AMI)
• Very Low Income (30% to 50% AMI)
• Low Income (50% to 80% AMI)
• Moderate (80% to 120% AMI)
• 140% AMI Tier (120% to 140% AMI)
The analysis includes the 140% AMI Tier representing households from 120% - 140% of AMI
given that Honolulu's existing unilateral agreement rules address housing needs up to 140% of
AMI.
Report Organization
The report is organized into four sections as follows:
• Section A. presents information regarding the prototypical new market rate residential
units and the estimated household income of purchases or renters of those units.
• Section B. describes the IMPLAN model which is used in the nexus analysis to translate
household income into the estimated number of jobs in retail, restaurants, healthcare,
and other sectors serving new residents.
• Section C. presents the linkage between employment growth associated with residential
development and the need for new lower income housing units required in each of five
income categories.
• Section D. quantifies the nexus or mitigation cost based on the cost of delivering
affordable units to new worker households in each of the five lower income categories.

III. NEXUS ANALYSIS
A. MARKET RATE UNITS AND HOUSEHOLD INCOME
This section describes the prototypical market rate residential units and the income of the
purchaser and renter households. Market rate prototypes are representative of new residential
units currently being built in Honolulu or that are likely to be built in Honolulu over the next
several years. Household income is estimated based on the amount necessary for the mortgage
or rent payments associated with the prototypical new market rate units and becomes the basis
for the input to the IMPLAN model described in Section B of this report. These are the starting
points of the chain of linkages that connect new market rate units to incremental demand for
affordable residential units.
This section provides a summary of the prototypes and household income. More description
and supporting tables are provided in Appendix 1.
Recent Housing Market Activity and Prototypical Units
KMA identified five residential prototypes in consultation with City staff; these prototypes are
representative of the types of development that are being built in Honolulu today and expected
to be built in the coming years. KMA then undertook a market survey of new construction
projects covering these prototypes in fall 2014, as well as obtained data on sales of existing
homes in Honolulu, focusing on units built since 1990. Further discussion of the market survey
is included in Appendix 1.
The results of the market survey and the selection of five prototypes are summarized in the
table below. The main objective of the survey was to establish current sales prices or rents per
unit and per square foot for the various residential project types recently developed, or expected
to be developed in the future, in Honolulu. Table A-1 at the end of this section provides a more
detailed summary of the five market rate prototypes.
It is important to note that the prototypes analysis is intended to reflect average or typical
residential projects in the Honolulu market rather than any specific project. It would be expected
that specific projects would vary to some degree from the prototypes.
In summary, the prototypes tested in the nexus analysis are as follows:
Prototypical Residential Units
Single Low-Rise Mid-Rise High-Rise Rental
Family Townhomes Condo Condo (PUC) Apartment
Avg. Unit Size 1,700 SF 1,200 SF 1,000 SF 1,000 SF 900 SF
Avg. Sales Price/Rent $700,000 $575,000 $525,000 $700,000 $2,500/mo.

Income of Housing Unit Purchaser or Renter
After the prototypes are established, the next step in the analysis is to determine the income of
the purchasing or renting households in the prototypical units.
Ownership Units
To make the determination for ownership units, terms for the purchase of residential units used in
the analysis are slightly less favorable than what can be achieved at the current time since current
terms are not likely to endure. The selected terms for the analysis are: 20% down payment, 30
year fixed rate mortgage, 5.5% interest rate. The assumption of a 20% down payment is based on
the median for purchase loans in Honolulu3. The interest rate at 5.5% reflects an estimate of the
longer term average based on the experience over the past fifteen years.4 Tables A-2 through A-5
at the end of this section provide the details.
All ownership product types include an estimate of homeowners' insurance, homeowner
association dues, and property taxes which are included along with the mortgage payment as part
of housing expenses for purposes of determining mortgage eligibility5.
Incomes for households in the prototypical market rate units is estimated based on the amount
necessary to afford mortgage payments and other housing costs. Data from Freddie Mac on the
average "debt to income ratio"for new purchase mortgage loans originated in Honolulu of 37% is
used to make the calculation. The 37% debt to income ratio means that housing costs, along with
other debt, represent an average of 37% of household incomes.
Apartment Units
Household income for renter households is estimated based on the assumption that rent
represents, on average, 30% of gross household income. The 30% factor was selected as it is
widely used as a standard for relating income to affordable rent levels including by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. Selection of 30% represents a conservative
3 Median down payment at 20%is based on Freddie Mac data on its portfolio of mortgages within zip codes
corresponding to Honolulu and is specific to principal residence purchase loans originated during the 2nd quarter of
2013, the most recent period available at the time the data was accessed.
4 Based on Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey weekly average rates for 30 year fixed rate mortgages
during the period from September 1999 through September 2014.
5 Housing expenses are combined with other debt payments such as credit cards and auto loans to compute a Debt
To Income(DTI) ratio which is a key criteria used for determining mortgage eligibility.
6 New purchase loans in Honolulu have an average debt to income ratio of 37%based on data from Freddie Mac on its
portfolio of mortgages within zip codes corresponding to Honolulu and specific to principal residence purchase loans
originated during 2nd quarter of 2013,the most recent period available at the time the data was accessed. Debt to
income ratio includes other forms of debt such as student loans,credit cards, and auto loans which suggests a ratio
including only housing expenses would be less than 37%. Applying a ratio below 37%in the analysis would have
produced a higher estimate of gross household income and higher resulting nexus findings;therefore, application of a
37%ratio represents a conservative assumption for purposes of the nexus analysis.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 15
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
approach for purposes of the nexus analysis because it produces a lower estimate of gross
household income and lower resulting nexus conclusions than if the Census average of 16% of
income spent on rent for renter households earning $100,000 and above were applied, the
income category applicable to households in the prototypical new market rate rental units.
While leasing agents and landlords may permit rental payments to represent a slightly higher
share of total income, use of the 30% factor, which is representative of the average, is
appropriate. Further, many renters will choose to spend less than 30% of their income on rent
where possible, since, unlike an ownership situation, the unit is not viewed as an investment
with value enhancement potential. The resulting relationship is that annual household income is
3.3 times annual rent.
The estimated gross household incomes of the purchasers or renters of the prototype units are
calculated in tables A-2 through A-6, and summarized below.
Household Income
Single Low-Rise Mid-Rise High-Rise Rental
Family Townhomes Condo Condo (PUC) Apartment
Gross Household Income $115,000 $101,000 $95,000 $127,000 $100,000
Income Available for Expenditures
The input into the IMPLAN model used in this analysis is the net income available for
expenditures. To arrive at income available for expenditures, gross income must be adjusted for
Federal and State income taxes, contributions to Social Security and Medicare, savings, and
payments on household debt. Per KMA correspondence with the producers of the IMPLAN
model (IMPLAN Group LLC), other taxes including sales tax, gas tax, and property tax are
handled internally within the model as part of the analysis of expenditures. Housing costs are
addressed separately, as described below, and so are not deducted as part of this adjustment
step. Table A-7 at the end of this section shows the calculation of income available for
expenditures.
Income available for expenditures ranges from 67% to 72% of gross income for the ownership
housing prototypes. The estimate is based on a review of data from the Internal Revenue
Service and State of Hawaii Department of Taxation tax tables. Residents of the Single Family
and High-rise Condo prototypes are estimated to pay an average of 12.4% of gross income in
federal taxes based on data from the Internal Revenue Service applicable to households
earning between $100,000 and $200,000 per year. Residents of the townhome and mid-rise
condo prototypes are estimated to pay 8.8% of their income toward federal taxes, which is the
average for households in the $75,000 to $100,000 income range'. State taxes are estimated to
average 4% to 6°/0 of gross income based on tax rates per the State of Hawaii Department of
'Average tax rate for the$75,000 to$100,000 income range was applied to the townhome prototype despite
estimated income slightly above$100,000 because the$75,000 to$100,000 range is likely more representative than
the$100,000 to$200,000 category which covers a much broader range of incomes.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 16
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
Taxation. The employee share of FICA payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare is 7.65%
of gross income (conservatively assumes all earners in the household are within the $118,500
ceiling on income subject to Social Security taxes).
Savings and repayment of household debt represent another necessary adjustment to gross
income. Savings includes various IRA and 401 K type programs as well as non-retirement
household savings and investments. Debt repayment includes auto loans, credit cards, and all
other non-mortgage debt. Savings and repayment of debt are estimated to represent a
combined 8% of gross income based on the 20 year average derived from United States
Bureau of Economic Analysis data.
The percentage of income available for expenditure for input into the IMPLAN model is prior to
deducting housing costs. The reason is for consistency with the IMPLAN model which defines
housing costs as expenditures. The IMPLAN model addresses the fact that expenditures on
housing do not generate employment to the degree other expenditures such as retail or
restaurants do, but there is some limited maintenance and property management employment
generated.
After deducting income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, savings, and repayment of debt, for
purchasers of one of the new ownership prototypes, the estimated income available for
expenditures ranges from 67% for the Single Family prototype to 72% for the mid-rise condo
prototype. This is the factor used to adjust from gross income to the income available for
expenditures. As indicated above, other forms of taxation such as property tax are handled
internally within the IMPLAN model.
Income available for expenditures for the prototypical renter household is based on the same
evaluation, but a higher tax rate applies to a renter household. Renter households are assumed
to pay higher average income tax rates because many renter households will not have the
ability to itemize deductions on income tax returns without mortgage interest and real estate
taxes to deduct. The result is that the renter household would have an estimated 65% of income
available for expenditures. The rate of savings and debt repayment is assumed to be the same
for the renter household as for households in the ownership prototypes.
Another adjustment made to spending is to account for the use of a share of units as second
homes which may be occupied for only a portion of the year. The adjustment is made using
U.S. census data for Honolulu on the percentage of single family and multifamily units that are
used as second homes. Household expenditures for single family homes are reduced by 1% on
average, to account for the fact that some units may be used as second homes and left vacant
part of the year. A 4% reduction to expenditures for the townhome and condo prototypes is
made based on Census data for multifamily units in Honolulu which have a higher incidence of
second home owners who do not occupy the unit year-round. For the apartment prototype, we
apply a 5% adjustment for standard operational vacancy.

I Gross income after deduction of taxes and savings. Income available for expenditures is the input to the IMPLAN model which is used
to estimate the resulting employment impacts. Housing costs are not deducted as part of this adjustment step because they are
addressed separately as expenditures within the IMPLAN model.
2 Reflects average tax rates(as opposed to marginal)applicable to estimated household incomes from tables A-2 to A-6 based on U.S.
Internal Revenue Services,Tax Statistics,Tables 1.4 and 2.1.Figures are for the 2012 tax year,the most recent for which data is
available. Homeowners are assumed to itemize deductions. Renters are assumed to take the standard deduction.
3 Average tax rates applicable to estimated household incomes from tables A-2 to A-6 estimated by KMA based on marginal rates per
the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation and ratios of taxable income to gross income estimated based on U.S.Internal Revenue
Service data. The higher average tax rates applicable to single or married filing separately tax filers is applied in the analysis so as to
produce a conservative(likely understated)estimate.
4 For Social Security and Medicare.Conservatively assumes all income will be subject to Social Security taxes.The current ceiling on
applicability of Social Security taxes is$118,500(ceiling applies per earner not per household).
5 Household savings including retirement accounts like 401k/IRA and other deductions such as interest costs on credit cards,auto
loans,etc,necessary to determine the amount of income available for expenditures.The 8%rate used in the analysis is based on the
average over the past 20 years computed from U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data,specifically the National Income and Product
Accounts,Table 2.1 "Personal Income and It's Disposition."
6 Deductions from gross income to arrive at the net income available for expenditures are consistent with the way the IMPLAN model
and National Income and Product Accounts(NIPA)defines income available for personal consumption expenditures.Deductions
include income taxes,contributions to Social Security and Medicare,savings and household debt.The income available for
expenditures does not reflect deductions for items accounted for as expenditures within the IMPLAN model iteslf including property
taxes,sales taxes and housing expenditures based on guidance from IMPLAN.

B. THE IMPLAN MODEL
Consumer spending by residents of new housing units will create jobs, particularly in sectors
such as restaurants, health care, and retail, which are closely connected to the expenditures of
residents. The widely used economic analysis tool, IMPLAN (IMpact Analysis for PLANning),
was used to quantify these new jobs by industry sector.
IMPLAN Model Description
The IMPLAN model is an economic analysis software package now commercially available
through the IMPLAN Group, LLC. IMPLAN was originally developed by the U.S. Forest Service,
the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of
Land Management and has been in use since 1979 and refined over time. It has become a
widely used tool for analyzing economic impacts for a broad range of applications from major
construction projects to natural resource programs.
IMPLAN is based on an input-output accounting of commodity flows within an economy from
producers to intermediate and final consumers. The model establishes a matrix of supply chain
relationships between industries and also between households and the producers of household
goods and services. Assumptions about the portion of inputs or supplies for a given industry
likely to be met by local suppliers, and the portion supplied from outside the region or study area
are derived internally within the model using data on the industrial structure of the region.
The output or result of the model is generated by tracking changes in purchases for final use
(final demand) as they filter through the supply chain. Industries that produce goods and
services for final demand or consumption must purchase inputs from other producers, which in
turn, purchase goods and services. The model tracks these relationships through the economy
to the point where leakages from the region stop the cycle. This allows the user to identify how a
change in demand for one industry will affect a list of over 400 other industry sectors. The
projected response of an economy to a change in final demand can be viewed in terms of
economic output, employment, or income.
Data sets are available for each county and state, so the model can be tailored to the specific
economic conditions of the region being analyzed. This analysis utilizes the 2012 IMPLAN data
set for Honolulu which was released in December 2013. As will be discussed, much of the
employment impact is in local-serving sectors, such as retail, eating and drinking
establishments, and medical services. The vast majority of these jobs are expected to be
located in Honolulu as most services to Honolulu residents cannot be readily provided from off-
shore. Employment estimates from the IMPLAN model represents employment in Honolulu.

Application of the IMPLAN Model to Estimate Job Growth
The IMPLAN model was applied to link income to household expenditures to job growth.
Employment generated by the household income of residents is analyzed in modules of 100
residential units to simplify communication of the results and avoid awkward fractions. The
IMPLAN model distributes spending among various types of goods and services (industry sectors)
based on data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey and the Bureau of Economic Analysis
Benchmark input-output study, to estimate employment generated.
Job creation, driven by increased demand for products and services, was projected for each of
the industries that will serve the new households. The employment generated by this new
household spending is summarized below.
Jobs Generated Per 100 Units
Single Low-Rise Mid-Rise High-Rise Rental
Family Townhomes Condo Condo (PUC) Apartment
Annual Household $7,630,000 $6,880,000 $6,570,000 $8,170,000 $6,180,000
Expenditures, 100 Units
Total Jobs Generated, 67.1 60.5 55.7 71.8 54.3
100 Units
Table B-1 provides a detailed summary of employment generated by industry. The table shows
industries sorted by projected employment. The Consumer Expenditure Survey published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks expenditure patterns by income level. IMPLAN utilizes this
data to reflect the pattern by income bracket. In the case of the Honolulu prototypes, the mid-
rise condo is in the $75,000 to $100,000 category while all other prototypes fall into the
$100,000 to $150,000 income category. Estimated employment is shown for each IMPLAN
industry sector representing 1% or more of total employment. The jobs that are generated are
heavily retail jobs,jobs in restaurants and other eating establishments, and in services that are
provided locally such as health care. The jobs counted in the IMPLAN model cover all jobs, full
and part time, similar to the U.S. Census and all reporting agencies (unless otherwise
indicated).

C. THE KMA JOBS HOUSING NEXUS MODEL
This section presents a summary of the analysis linking the employment growth associated with
residential development, or the output of the IMPLAN model (see Section B), to the estimated
number of lower income housing units required in each of five income categories, for each of
the five residential prototype units.
Analysis Approach and Framework
The analysis approach is to examine the employment growth for industries related to consumer
spending by residents in the 100-unit modules. Then, through a series of linkage steps, the
number of employees is converted to households and housing units by affordability level. The
findings are expressed in terms of numbers of affordable units per 100 market rate units.
The analysis addresses the affordable unit demand associated with single family, low-rise
townhomes, mid-rise condos, high-rise condos and rental units in Honolulu. The table below
shows the 2014 Honolulu Area Median Income (AMI), as well as the income limits for the five
categories that were evaluated from 30% of AMI through 140% AMI. The income definitions
used in the analysis are those published by the Department of Planning and Permitting, City and
County of Honolulu (DPP).
2014 Income Limits for Honolulu
Household Size (Persons)
1 2 3 4 5 6 +
30%AMI $20,150 $23,000 $25,900 $28,750 $31,050 $33,350
50%AMI $33,550 $38,350 $43,150 $47,900 $51,750 $55,600
80%AMI $53,700 $61,350 $69,000 $76,650 $82,800 $88,950
120%AMI $80,560 $92,020 $103,550 $114,980 $124,200 $133,420
140%AMI $93,980 $107,360 $120,810 $134,140 $144,900 $155,660
Median (100% of Median) $67,100 $76,700 $86,300 $95,800 $103,500 $111,200
The analysis is conducted using a model that KMA developed and has applied to similar
evaluations in many other jurisdictions. The model inputs are all local data to the extent
possible, and are fully documented in the following description.
Analysis Steps
The tables at the end of this section present a summary of the nexus analysis steps for the
prototype units. Following is a description of each step of the analysis.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 32
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
Step 1 — Estimate of Total New Employees
Table C-1 commences with the total number of employees associated with the new market rate
units. The employees were estimated based on household expenditures of new residents using
the IMPLAN model (see Section B).
Step 2—Changing Industries Adjustment and Net New Jobs
The local economy, like that of the U.S. as a whole, is constantly evolving. In Honolulu,
employment in certain sectors of the economy has been declining including manufacturing,
information (includes newspapers), and finance and insurance (includes banks which have
become increasingly reliant on ATMs). Jobs lost in these declining sectors were replaced by job
growth in other industry sectors.
Step 2 makes an adjustment to take ongoing changes in the economy into account recognizing
that jobs added are not 100% net new in all cases. A 17% adjustment is utilized based on the
long term shifts in employment that have occurred in some sectors of the local economy and the
likelihood of continuing changes in the future. Long term declines in employment experienced in
certain sectors of the economy mean that some of the new jobs are being filled by workers that
have been displaced from another industry and who are presumed to already have housing
locally. Existing workers downsized from declining industries are assumed to be available to fill
a portion of the new retail, restaurant, health care, and other jobs associated with services to
residents. This is a conservative assumption given some displaced workers may exit the
workforce entirely by retiring rather than seek a new job in one of the industries serving new
residents.
The 17% downward adjustment used for purposes of the analysis was derived from data
available through the State of Hawaii Research and Statistics Office on employment by industry
in Honolulu over the eighteen year period from 2013 to 1995. Employment in 1995 was
compared to the most recent data available for 2013 because the unemployment rate was the
same. Selection of a year with a similar unemployment rate is to separate short-term or cyclical
declines from long-term changes warranting an adjustment in the nexus analysis. Over the
period from 1995 through 2013, approximately 9,400 jobs were lost in declining industry sectors.
Over the same period, growing and stable industries added a total of 56,800 jobs. The figures
are used to establish a ratio between jobs lost in declining industries to jobs gained in growing
and stable industries at 17%8. The 17% factor is applied as an adjustment in the analysis,
effectively assuming approximately one in every six new jobs is filled by a worker down-sized
from a declining industry and who already has housing.
8 The 17%ratio is calculated as 9,400 jobs lost in declining sectors excluding defense divided by 56,800 jobs gained
in growing and stable sectors= 16.5%(rounded to 17%).
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 33
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
Step 3—Adjustment from Employees to Employee Households
This step (Table C-1) converts the number of employees to the number of employee
households, recognizing that there is, on average, more than one worker per household, and
thus the number of housing units in demand for new workers is reduced. The workers-per-
worker-household ratio eliminates from the equation all non-working households, such as retired
persons, students, and those on public assistance. The average for Honolulu of 1.92 workers
per worker household (from the U. S. Census Bureau 2011-2013 American Community Survey)
is used for this step in the analysis. The number of jobs is divided by 1.92 to determine the
number of worker households. This ratio is distinguished from the overall number of workers per
household in that the denominator includes only households with at least one worker. If the
average number of workers in all households were used, it would have produced a greater
demand for housing units. The 1.92 ratio covers all workers, full and part time.
Step 4— Occupational Distribution of Employees
The occupational breakdown of employees is the first step to arrive at income level. The output
from the IMPLAN model provides the number of employees by industry sector, shown in Table
B-1. The IMPLAN output is paired with data from the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics May 2013 Occupational Employment Survey (OES) to estimate the occupational
composition of employees for each industry sector.
Step 4a— Translation from IMPLAN Industry Codes to NAICS Industry Codes
The output of the IMPLAN model is jobs by industry sector using IMPLAN's own industry
classification system which consists of 440 industry sectors. The OES occupation data uses the
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Estimates of jobs by IMPLAN sector
must be translated into estimates by NAICS code for consistency with the OES data.
The NAICS system is organized into industry codes ranging from two- to six-digits. Two-digit
codes are the broadest industry categories and six-digit codes are the most specific. Within a
two-digit NAICS code, there may be several three-digit codes and within each three digit code,
several four-digit codes, etc. A chart published by IMPLAN relates each IMPLAN industry sector
with one or more NAICS codes, with matching NAICS codes ranging from the two-digit level to
the five-digit level. For purposes of the nexus analysis, all employment estimates must be
aggregated to the four digit NAICS code level to align with OES data which is organized by four-
digit NAICS code. For some industry sectors, an allocation is necessary between more than one
four-digit NAICS code. Where required, allocations are made proportionate to total employment
at the national level from the OES.
The table below illustrates analysis Step 4a in which employment estimates by IMPLAN Code
are translated to NAICS codes and then aggregated at the four digit NAICS code level. The

Step 4b—Apply OES Data to Estimate Occupational Distribution
Employment estimates by four-digit NAICS code from step 4a are paired with data on
occupational composition within each industry from the OES to generate an estimate of
employment by detailed occupational category. As shown on Table C-1, new jobs will be
distributed across a variety of occupational categories. The three largest occupational
categories are office and administrative support (17%), sales (15%), and food preparation and
serving (13%). Step 4 of Table C-1 indicates the percentage and number of employee
households by occupation associated with 100 market rate units.
Step 5—Estimates of Employee Households Meeting the Lower Income Definitions
In this step, occupations are translated to employee incomes based on recent Honolulu wage
and salary information obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment
Survey for Honolulu. The wage and salary information summarized in Appendix 2 Tables 2 and
4 provided the income inputs to the model.
For each occupational category shown in Table C-1, the OES data provides a distribution of
specific occupations within the category. For example, within the Food Preparation and Serving
Category, there are Supervisors, Cooks, Bartenders, Waiters and Waitresses, Dishwashers,
etc. In total there are over 100 detailed occupation categories included in the analysis as shown
in Appendix 2, Tables 2 and 4. The analysis uses a separate OES data set on compensations to
reflect the distribution of wages specific to workers in Honolulu as of 2013 for each of the
detailed occupation categories.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 35
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.d ocx
For each detailed occupational category, the distribution of wages is used to calculate the
percent of worker households that would fall into each income category. The calculation is
performed for each possible combination of household size and number of workers in the
household. For households with more than one worker, individual employee income data was
used to calculate the household income by assuming multiple earner households are, on
average, formed of individuals with similar incomes.
The table below illustrates Step 5 as applied to food preparation and serving workers. Annual
compensation for food preparation and serving workers in Honolulu as of 2013 is distributed9
around a mean of$19,700. For households with one worker, 64% of one person households are
estimated to qualify as Extremely Low and 100% of households with two or more people are
estimated to qualify. For households with two workers, no households of five persons or less are
estimated to qualify as Extremely Low and only 17% of six person households are estimated to
qualify. No households that have three workers are expected to qualify as Extremely Low.
Step 5 Illustration for Food Preparation and Serving Worker Households
Percent Qualifying as Extremely Low for Each Possible Household Size/No. of Workers Combination
Percent of Worker Households That Would Qualify as Extremely Low
For Each Possible Combination of Household Size and No. of Workers
Applying 2014 Income Limits for Honolulu
HH Size 1 Person 2 Person 3 Person 4 Person 5 Person 6 Person
Limit $20,150 $23,000 $25,900 $28,750 $31,050 $33,350
No. Workers in Household

2 N/A 0% 0% 0% 0% 17%
3 or more10 N/A N/A 0% 0% 0% 0%
The step illustrated above is repeated for each detailed worker occupation category and each of
the five affordability tiers. At the end of Step 5, the nexus model has established a matrix
indicating the percentages of households that would qualify in the affordable income tiers for
every detailed occupational category and every potential combination of household size and
number of workers in the household.
Step 6—Distribution of Household Size and Number of Workers
In this step, we account for the distribution in household sizes and number of workers for
Honolulu households using local data obtained from the U.S. Census. Census data is used to
develop a set of percentage factors representing the distribution of household sizes and number
of workers within working households in Honolulu. The following table presents the percentage
factors used in the analysis.
s In addition to the mean compensation, BLS reported 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile compensations are utilized.
10 Census data aggregates households with three or more workers;therefore, a corresponding aggregation is
necessary for purposes of the analysis.

Step 6: Percentage of Honolulu Households by Size and Number of Workers
Household Size (Persons)
1 2 3 4 5 6+
No. Workers in Household
1 16.78% 13.33% 7.69% 4.52% 2.44% 2.97%
2 N/A 14.86% 8.92% 6.06% 3.27% 3.98%
3 or more N/A N/A 3.10% 5.50% 2.96% 3.61%
Note:percentages sum to 100%
The percentage factors are specific to Honolulu and are derived from the 2011 —2013 American
Community Survey. Application of these percentage factors accounts for the following:
• Households have a range in size and a range in the number of workers.
• Large households generally have more workers than smaller households.
The result of Step 6 is a distribution of Honolulu working households by number of workers and
household size.
Step 7— Estimate of Number of Households that Meet Size and Income Criteria
Step 7 is the final step to calculate the number of worker households meeting the size and
income criteria for the five affordability tiers. The calculation combines the matrix of results from
Step 5 on percentage of worker households that would meet the income criteria at each
potential household size/ no. of workers combination, with Step 6, the percentage of worker
households having a given household size/ number of workers combination. The result is the
percentage of households that fall into each affordability tier. The percentages are then
multiplied by the number of households from Step 3 to arrive at number of households in each
affordability tier.
Tables C-2.1 through C-2.5 shows the result after completing Steps 5, 6, and 7 for each of the
five individual affordability tiers.
Summary Findings
Table C-3 indicates the results of the analysis for each of the residential prototypes. The table
presents the number of households generated in each affordability category and the total
number over 140% of Area Median Income.
The findings in Table C-3 are presented below. The table shows the total demand for affordable
housing units associated with 100 market rate units.

Total, New Households 29.0 26.2 24.1 31.1 23.5
Housing demand for new worker households earning less than 120% of AMI ranges from
approximately 26 units per 100 market rate units for High-Rise Condo units, to 20 units per 100
market rate units for apartments. Including housing needs at the 120% to 140% AMI tier
increases these figures by approximately one unit for each 100 market rate units. Housing
demand is distributed across the lower income tiers with the greatest number of households in
the Low-Income tier from 50% to 80% AMI. The finding that the jobs associated with household
spending tend to be low-paying jobs where the workers will require housing affordable at the
lower income levels is not surprising. As noted above, household spending results in
employment that is concentrated in lower paid occupations including food preparation,
administrative, and retail sales.
Inclusionary Percentages Supported
The analysis findings identify how many lower income households are generated for every 100
market rate units. These findings are adjusted to an inclusionary percentage which represents
the percentage of units provided on-site within a project that would fully mitigate the affordable
housing impacts as documented in this nexus analysis.
The percentages are calculated including both market rate and affordable units (for example, 25
affordable units per 100 market rate units translates to a project of 125 units; 25 affordable units
out of 125 units equals 20%).
The table below presents the results of the analysis, drawn from Table C-4. Each tier is
cumulative, or inclusive of the tiers above. The purpose of showing the figures on a cumulative
basis is so they can be readily compared to potential inclusionary requirements that may be
considered. As an example, for new single family projects, the analysis indicates that an
inclusionary requirement of 19.8% with affordable units available to households earning up to
120% of AMI would be sufficient to mitigate the affordable housing need through 120% of AMI.

The percentages represent the inclusionary requirement that would be sufficient to fully offset
the increased affordable housing need from the services and service workers that support the
new residential development.

D. MITIGATION COSTS
This section takes the conclusions of the previous section on the number of households in the
lower income categories associated with the market rate units and identifies the total cost of
assistance required to make housing affordable. This section puts a cost on the units for each
income level to produce the "total nexus cost." This is done for each of the prototype units. The
estimate of total nexus cost is needed in order to quantify the amount of the in-lieu fee that
would be sufficient to fully mitigate the increased affordable housing impacts of the new market
rate units.
A key component of the nexus cost analysis is the size of the gap between what households
can afford and the cost of producing new housing in Honolulu, known as the 'affordability gap.'
Affordability gaps are calculated for each of the five categories of area median income:
Extremely Low (under 30% of median), Very Low (30% to 50%), Low (50% to 80%), Moderate
(80% to 120%), and the 140% AMI Tier (120% to 140%). The following summarizes the analysis
of mitigation cost which is based on the affordability gap or net cost to deliver units that are
affordable to worker households in the lower income tiers. Detailed affordability gap calculations
are presented in Tables D-1 through D-4 at the end of this section.
Affordable Unit Prototypes Subsidized with In-lieu Fees
For estimating the affordability gap, there is a need to match a household of each income level
with a unit type and size according to governmental regulations and City practices and policies.
The analysis assumes that the City will help subsidize affordable ownership units for
households in the Moderate and 140% AMI Tier. The prototype affordable unit should reflect a
modest unit consistent with what the City is likely to assist and appropriate for housing the
average worker household in these income tiers, which in the case of Honolulu is assumed to
be a four person household in a three-bedroom townhome unit. The analysis assumes
households earning less than 80% of Area Median Income will be housed in rental units. The
analysis uses a two bedroom affordable rental prototype.
For the purposes of estimating the affordability gaps, we do not assume additional sources of
affordable housing financing such as the federal income tax credit program. While some recent
affordable housing developments in Honolulu have utilized these additional funding sources, it is
not assured that these sources will be available in the future. Accessing these sources is also
highly competitive due to the limited supply. Of importance, Honolulu has a sizable existing
deficiency of affordable housing units and the limited amount of outside subsidy sources has not
been sufficient to fully address the existing needs of the community let alone the future needs
created by new market rate residential units. The value of tax credits to the project can fluctuate
widely. Determining the affordability gap assuming no outside sources is a sound and legitimate
approach.

Development Costs
KMA prepared an estimate of total development cost for a typical two bedroom affordable rental
unit (inclusive of land, all fees and permits, financing and other indirect costs) based on a review
of development costs for affordable multi-family projects in Hawaii. On this basis, KMA
concluded that on average, the new affordable rental units would have a total development cost
per unit of$350,000.
For ownership units, total development costs for a typical three bedroom, 1,200 square foot
townhome were estimated by KMA to be $491,000 per unit ($409 per square foot).
Development Costs
Income Group Tenure/Type Type Development Cost
0%through 80%AMI Rental 2BR Apartment $350,000
80%through 140%AMI Ownership 3BR Townhome $491,000
Unit Values
For affordable ownership units, unit values are the affordable purchase prices. Affordable
purchase prices for ownership units are calculated based on the purchase price affordable to a
household earning 120% of AMI for Moderate-Income households and 140% of AMI for the
140% AMI Tier. For a three bedroom unit, KMA calculated the affordable sales price as
$421,000 for a Moderate-Income Unit and $513,000 for the 140% AMI Tier. Details of the
calculation are presented in Tables D-3 and D-4.
For the Extremely Low, Very Low, and Low-Income units, the unit values were estimated based
on the amount of permanent debt that can be supported by the project's net operating income
(NOI) plus a small amount for deferred developer fees, which is a common source of funding for
affordable apartment projects.
Maximum Affordable Sales Prices and Rent Levels
Household Maximum Monthly Unit Values/
Income Group Unit Tenure Size Housing Costs' Sales Price
Under 30%AMI Rental 3 persons $719/Month ($17,300)
30% to 50%AMI Rental 3 persons $1,199/Month $61,700

120%to 140%AMI Ownership 4 persons $3,726/Month $512,650
" For rental units, maximum housing costs are the affordable rents before utility allowance. For ownership unit,
maximum monthly housing costs includes all housing expenses such as mortgage, insurance, property taxes, HOA
dues, and utilities.

Affordability Gap
The affordability gap is the difference between the cost of developing a residential unit and the
unit values at the affordable rents or sales prices.
The resulting affordability gaps are as follows:
Affordability Gap Calculation
Unit Value Development Affordability
/Sales Price Cost Gap
Affordable Rental Units
Extremely Low(Under 30%AMI) ($17,300)1 $350,000 $367,300
Very Low(30%to 50%AMI) $61,700 $350,000 $288,300
Low(50%to 80%AMI) $180,700 $350,000 $169,300
Affordable Ownership Units
Moderate (80% to 120%AMI) $421,150 $491,000 $69,850
140%AMI Tier(120% to 140%AMI) $512,650 $491,000 none
'Negative unit value represents capitalized operating subsidy required.
For the 140% AMI Tier, the affordable sales price exceeds the development cost for the unit, so
there is no affordability gap for that income tier when affordable units are provided in a
townhome product.
Tables D-1 to D-4 present the detailed affordability gap calculations.
Caveat on Affordability Gaps
The development costs that have been estimated for purposes of the affordability gaps are
based on "average" costs for affordable units, not on specific projects or in specific locations.
Because they are based on average costs, the affordability gaps quantified herein likely
underestimate the costs to construct units in more expensive areas of Honolulu and
overestimate the costs to construct in less expensive areas. The primary cost variable from one
part of the island to another is land acquisition costs.
Total Nexus Costs
The last step in the linkage fee analysis marries the findings on the numbers of households in
each of the lower income ranges associated with the five prototypes to the affordability gaps, or
the costs of delivering housing to them in Honolulu.
Table D-5 summarizes the analysis. The Affordability Gaps are drawn from the prior discussion.
The "Total Nexus Cost per Market Rate Unit" shows the results of the following calculation: the
affordability gap times the number of affordable units demanded per market rate unit. (Demand
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 50
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
for affordable units for each of the income ranges is drawn from Table C-3 in the previous
section and is adjusted to a per-unit basis from the 100 unit building module.)
The total nexus costs per market rate unit are as follows:

These costs express the total linkage or nexus costs for the five prototype developments in
Honolulu. These total nexus costs represent the cost of creating new affordable units to offset
the increased affordable housing needs associated with new market-rate residential
development. The totals are not recommended levels for fees; many other policy
considerations may be brought to bear in selecting appropriate fee levels.

(4)Indirect& Financing costs based on 35%of direct cost based on data on Hawaii affordable multi-family
rental projects(35%to 40%).This figure is considered conservative because multi-family projects
typically do not have additional costs of unit sales or carrying costs related to the sales absorption period.
(5)As a cross-check on total development costs,the total development profit at the average island-wide
sale price of$575,000 would be$84,000($575,000 minus$491,000), or approximately 15%of the
market rate sale price.This is an indication that the development cost estimate is not excessive.

ADDENDUM: ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND AND NOTES ON SPECIFIC ASSUMPTIONS
No Excess Supply of Affordable Housing
An assumption of this residential nexus analysis is that there is no excess supply of affordable
housing available to absorb or offset new demand; therefore, new affordable units are needed
to mitigate the new affordable housing demand generated by development of new market rate
residential units. Based on a review of the draft Housing Oahu: Islandwide Housing Strategy,
conditions in Honolulu are consistent with this underlying assumption. According to the
Islandwide Housing Strategy, Oahu needs over 24,000 additional housing units to address pent-
up demand and near-term projected housing needs through 2016. An estimated 75% of the
demand is for units affordable to households earning less than 80% of AMI. Census data (2011
to 2013 ACS) indicates that the percentage of households spending more than 30% of their
income on housing is 43% of all households in Honolulu. Households who are spending more
than 30% of their income on housing are heavily those in the lower income categories.
Affordability Gap
The use of the affordability gap for establishing the nexus costs is grounded in the concept that
a jurisdiction will use in-lieu fee revenues to help subsidize new affordable units needed to
mitigate impacts. The nexus analysis has established that units will be needed at one or more
different affordability levels and the type of unit to be delivered depends on the
income/affordability level. In Honolulu, the City and County is anticipated to assist in the
development of rental units for household incomes less than 80% of median and for moderate
income households, ownership units are assumed to be assisted.
The units assisted by the public sector for affordable households are usually small in square
foot area (for the number of bedrooms) and modest in finishes and amenities. As a result, in
some communities these units are similar in physical configuration to what the market is
delivering at market rate; in other communities (particularly very high income communities), they
may be smaller and more modest than what the market is delivering. Parking, for example, is
usually the minimum permitted by the code. In some communities where there is a wide range
in land cost per acre or per unit, it may be assumed that affordable units are built on land
parcels in the lower portion of the cost range. KMA tries to develop a total development cost
summary that represents the lower half of the average range, but not so low as to be unrealistic.
If the affordability gap is the difference between total development cost and the affordable sales
price, the question sometimes arises as to how total development cost is defined. KMA defines
total development costs as including land costs, construction costs, site improvements,
architectural and engineering, financing and all other indirect costs, and an allowance for an
industry profit (non-profit developers receive a development fee instead).

\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.d ocx
Excess Capacity of Labor Force
In the context of economic downturns such as the recent severe recession, the question is
sometimes raised as to whether there is excess capacity in the labor force to the extent that
consumption impacts generated by new households will be in part, absorbed by existing jobs
and workers, thus resulting in fewer net new jobs. In response, an impact analysis of this nature
is a one-time impact requirement to address impacts generated over the life of the project.
Recessions are temporary conditions; a healthy economy will return and the impacts will be
experienced. The economic cycle also self-adjusts. Development of new residential units is not
likely to occur until conditions improve or there is confidence that improved conditions are
imminent. When this occurs, the improved economic condition of the households in the local
area will absorb the current underutilized capacity of existing workers, employed and
unemployed. By the time new units become occupied, economic conditions will have likely
improved.
The Burden of Paying for Affordable Housing
Honolulu's proposed affordable housing requirements do not place all burden for the creation of
affordable housing on new residential construction. The burden of affordable housing is also
borne by many sectors of the economy and society. A most important source in recent years of
funding for affordable housing development comes from the federal government in the form of
tax credits (which result in reduced income tax payment by tax credit investors in exchange for
equity funding). Additionally there are other federal grant and loan programs administered by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development and other federal agencies.
Local governments play a large role in affordable housing. In addition, private sector lenders
play an important role, some voluntarily and others less so with the requirements of the
Community Reinvestment Act. Then there is the non-profit sector, both sponsors and
developers that build much of the affordable housing.
In summary, all levels of government and many private parties, for profit and non-profit
contribute to supplying affordable housing. Residential developers are not being asked to bear
the burden alone any more than they are assumed to be the only source of demand or cause for
needing affordable housing in our communities.

MARKET RATE PROTOTYPES & PRICING
Since the purpose of the Residential Nexus Analysis is to quantify the impacts from new market
rate residential development, it is necessary to identify the types of new market rate housing
that is being built in Honolulu today. Identification of the market rate housing prototypes and
sale prices and rents associated with those prototypes, forms the initial input into the Nexus
Analysis.
This section starts with a general overview of the Honolulu housing market as context for the
types of housing being built in Honolulu, where it is being built, and how different geographic
areas of the island differ from each other. It then describes the market rate prototypes selected
for the Nexus Analysis and then concludes with islandwide average sale price and rent
conclusions for each of the prototypes.
I. Overview of Honolulu Housing Market
Most residential development in Honolulu is concentrated in the southern and western areas of
the island. KMA has assessed the extent to which residential development characteristics and
pricing vary from part of the island to another. This analysis assessed market data in relation to
the City's eight Development Plan Areas. In terms of residential sales activity, the largest
number of 2014 sales was in the "Primary Urban Center" (PUC) plan area followed by the "Ewa"
plan area. Lower shares of residential sales were located in the remaining plan areas.

In general terms, the housing stock is older in the PUC and leeward areas of the island. On
average, homes are newer in the Ewa and Central areas where growth has occurred more
recently. As would be expected, housing units tend to be larger in the more suburban areas and
smaller in the urban areas. Home values are highest in the East Honolulu, PUC, and
Koolaupoku plan areas but this is partly a function of the larger size of homes in these areas.
These three areas have the highest home values even after adjusting for unit size but the
differences compared to the other plan areas are less significant.

New residential development going forward is planned to be concentrated in the PUC, Ewa, and

comparatively fewer housing units are planned for the other plan areas.

The City is also targeting residential growth in areas along the new elevated rail system in
compact, mixed use development.
II. Residential Prototypes
The City and County of Honolulu, like many large municipalities with both urban and suburban
areas, has a diverse and wide range of housing types. On one end of the spectrum, Honolulu
has relatively large single family detached homes at low densities. On the other end of the
spectrum are high-rise residential towers. It is recognized that all prototypes are not built in all
areas of the island. For example, high-rises are more highly concentrated in the more urbanized
areas of the PUC plan area.
With the assistance of City staff, KMA has identified five residential prototypes for the Nexus
Analysis:
Figure 3. Market Rate Prototypes Average Unit Size
Single Family Detached 1,700 square feet
Town homes 1,200 square feet
Mid-Rise Condos 1,000 square feet
High-Rise Condos (PUC area) 1,000 square feet
Rental Apartments 900 square feet
The intent of the prototypes is to be generally representative of the types of housing being built.
It is not necessary to include every variation of unit size or density.
III. Market Survey
In order to estimate the current pricing of new construction projects, KMA undertook a survey of
current home prices and rents throughout the island. The survey included a review of asking
prices of new construction projects currently on the market, re-sale of units, and asking rental
rates.
a. For-Sale Prototypes
For for-sale homes and condominiums, KMA surveyed both new construction projects and re-
sales. The following chart plots 2014 sales of homes in new construction projects currently in
the market. The new construction projects were identified by Hanley Wood, a third party market
data provider. The survey identified projects in various parts of the island but some areas are
better represented than others. Most of the projects are located in the Ewa, Central, and
Waianae plan areas with a few projects in the Koolaupoku plan area.

In an effort to have better geographic representation, as well as to increase the number of home
sales for statistical validity, KMA also pulled data on re-sales of existing homes in the market.
Re-sale data was focused on "newer" homes in the market (homes built since 1990) because
newer homes are more likely to share price similarities to new construction projects than older
homes. By including re-sales, there was a much larger number of sales to assess the market
(from January to October 2014, there were over 2,000 sales of"newer" units). All geographic
areas of the island were represented by that data set.
The following charts separate the sales of single family homes from condominiums. To better
graphically present the data, sales of very large homes were not included in the chart.
Foreclosure sales were also not included.

b. Rental Prototypes
Unlike many real estate markets on the mainland, in recent years there has been little new
development of market rate rental projects in Honolulu. City staff has identified two proposed
apartment projects that are currently in the development pipeline— 7000 Hawaii Kai and Kapolei
Lofts. Both of these projects require a rezoning of the land in order to allow residential
development and, consequently, both will have market rate and affordable units.
Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Page 66
\\Sf-fs2\wp\14\14100\002\001-002.docx
• 7000 Hawaii Kai. This 269-unit project is proposed to consist of two ten-story buildings
with units ranging from 700 to 1,100 square feet. According to a Pacific Business News
article, the market rate rents are expected to range from $2,200 to $3,700/month.
• Kapolei Lofts. This project is proposed to consist of 499 rental units including units at
80% and 140% of AMI. According to an article in the Pacific Business News, this project
will be Honolulu's first Class A new construction apartment project.
In addition, KMA surveyed existing apartment developments for asking rents. Even though
some of these properties have been recently renovated, the rents for new construction projects
would likely be somewhat higher than the rents from older properties on the market given the
premium that many renters are willing to pay for modern amenities and unit layouts.

IV. Prototype Pricing
The sale prices and rents for the five market rate prototypes have been estimated by KMA
based on the market survey. The rents and prices for the apartments and the lower density for-
sale prototypes have been estimated based on market averages. Since the City's inclusionary
program will be an islandwide requirement, the use of averages is appropriate for purposes of
the Nexus Analysis. The pricing for the High-Rise Condos is the one prototype not based on an
islandwide average. All the comparable sale price data used to estimate the high-rise prototype
was from developments in the PUC plan area, where most high-rise projects are currently being
built.
As shown in the following table, the for-sale prototypes are estimated to have average sale
prices ranging from $525,000 for the Mid-Rise Condo Prototype to $700,000 for both the Single
Detached Home and High-Rise Condo Prototypes.
