Subject: Support of Bill 156
As with the Concurrency Bill, passage alone won't mean much unless the zoning provisions are enforced.
Again, I'll use Kohala Ranch as an example since I can document what I say about it, in detail.
The current developer submitted a revised rezoning for the urban developmment which involved a substantial
reduction in the number of units. The reason for doing so was simply to have the Housing Committee reconsider
the $15,000,000-plus affordable housing requirement.Once he was "excused" from paying the major part of that
amount, he withdrew his revised rezoning request and is now subdividing the parcel.
What's the point of demanding affordable housing and then dropping the requirement or substantially modifying it
to the developer's benefit?
