SECTION 1. The Housing Element of the Hawaii County General Plan (enacted as
Ordinance No. OS-25) clearly states that a policy of the County of Hawaii shall be that "large
industries or developments that create a demand for housing shall provide employee housing
based upon a ratio to be determined by an analysis of the locality's needs." The County Council
finds that industrial developments which are comprised of multiple individual enterprises are, in
fact, large industries which generate substantial employment and demands for employee housing.
Therefore, such industrial developments should be subject to the affordable housing
requirements articulated in Chapter ] 1 (Housing) of the Hawaii County Code.

edition), relating to affordable housing requirements for industrial uses, is amended to read as
follows:
"Section 11-4. Affordable housing requirements.
(d) Requirements for industrial uses.
The industrial uses that must fulfill the affordable housing requirements are any
uses allowed as of right in an ML or MG district, except for home improvement
centers, and any uses that are also allowed as of right in a CG district.
#~I] Industrial enterprises generating more than one hundred employees on
a full-time equivalent basis. whether new or an addition or reconstruction to
existing_facilities and including one or more businesses at the same or adiacent
site s must earn one affordable housing credit for every four full-time equivalent
jobs created."
SECTION 3. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance, or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
application, and to this end, the provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.
