PROPOSED DRAFT 4
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 11 (HOUSING), ARTICLE 1, SECTION 11-4(D),
HAWAII COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION), TO INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENTS.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
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 11 (Housing) of the Hawaii County Code.
SECTION 2. Chapter 11, article 1, section 11-4(d), Hawai`i County Code 1983 (2005
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.
(2) Credits Required
Individual industrial enterprises generating more than one hundred
employees on a full-time equivalent basis must earn one affordable housing
credit for every four full-time equivalent jobs created.
(B) Rezonines to ML, MG, or MCX, aparoved after (the effective date of this
ordinance) with a potential to generate more than one hundred employees on a
full-time eauivalent basis must earn one affordable housing credit for every four
full-time equivalent iobs created.
(i) At the time of rezoning, the potential job veneration shall be assumed to be
ten full-time equivalent iobs per acre to determine whether subsequent
develoyment within the rezoned area must satisfv an affordable housing
requirement.
(ii) At the time of elan approval, pursuant to section 11-9(b), the affordable
housiny requirement shall be based upon ten full-time equivalent jobs per acre,
or one per 1 000 square feet of gross floor area, whichever is yreater, provided
that the administrator, after consultation with the planning director, shall adjust
the number of iobs based on yroof that the actual number of iobs created will
deviate from this standard, and provided that in that case, the affordable housiny
requirement shall be reassessed if the use is chanyed.
(iii) The applicant may also satisfv the affordable housing requirement at the
time of final subdivision approval for all or a portion of the lots created within
the rezoned area, provided that in that case, the applicant shall be required to
earn one affordable housing credit for every ten full-time equivalent jobs
created based on ten full-time a uivalent 'obs er acre."
SECTION 3. Upon passage of this ordinance, the Revisor of Ordinances shall insert in
section 11-4(d)(2)(B), the effective calendar date of this ordinance in place of the phrase
"(the effective date of this ordinance)."
SECTION 4. 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.
SECTION 5. Material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New material is
underscored. In printing this ordinance, the brackets, bracketed material, and underscoring need
not be included.
SECTION 6. This ordinance shall take effect on its approval.
