earning one hundred percent of median shall be $203,400 less any adjustments due
to association fees or similar fees.
(b) The affordable sales price for finished lots shall be the affordable sales price for a
completed unit for a household of four persons, earning one hundred percent of the
median income in the County of Hawai‘i, less the cost to build a single-family home

the site by ten percent, and decreasing the minimum lot size by ten percent,
compared to the number of units otherwise allowable and the minimum lot size as
established by the zoning code.
(b) If a project fulfills its affordable housing requirement off-site, the density bonus can
be used on the non-affordable site, or the affordable housing site, or divided
between the two sites.
(c) The density bonus may not be used in the State Land Use Agricultural District or
Rural Districts to create lots less than the minimum lot sizes required in those

for the project.
(c) All agreements shall be recorded against the property.
(d) All for-sale affordable units and lots shall be sold only to eligible buyers during a
ninety-day preferential marketing period.
(e) If the developer cannot sell the units or lots to eligible buyers during the ninety-day
preferential marketing period, there shall be a second ninety-day period wherein
the developer shall, in consultation with one or more OHCD-approved
homeownership counselors, actively market the unsold units or lots to clients of
those homeownership counselors, provided those clients either are or may be
qualified to purchase the unsold units or lots. If a unit or lot is not under contract
for sale by the end of the one hundred and eighty days, such unit or lot shall be
offered for sale to persons who are otherwise eligible, but have previously owned a
residence, for an additional period of thirty days. If a unit or lot is not under
contract for sale after the two hundred ten-day period, the developer may sell the
unit or lot to any person at the affordable sales price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time after the initial ninety-day preferential marketing period,
the housing administrator may authorize the County to purchase any unsold unit
or lot at the affordable sales price.
(f) For sale units shall be sold on a per unit basis using mortgages where the term is
fixed for a minimum of at least fifteen years.

requirement, and that is sold during the preferential marketing period, shall enter into
a binding contract for the construction of a residence on the lot within two years of the
date of sale, and complete construction within three years of the date of sale, or, if the
purchaser is an owner-builder, shall commence construction within two years and

period, the purchaser may sell only to eligible buyers, as determined by the housing
administrator, and the sales price shall not exceed the original purchase price, plus an
inflation factor based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index for Honolulu, and
reasonable compensation for improvements, if any, made by the purchaser. If the
purchaser does not meet these time limits, the purchaser shall offer to sell the lot to the
County, or, at the election of the housing administrator, to eligible buyers, at a price
that does not exceed the original purchase price, plus an inflation factor based on the
Consumer Price Index for Honolulu, plus reasonable compensation for improvements, if
any, made by the purchaser.

period of ten years from the first date of sale of any affordable unit created in
satisfaction of the requirements of this chapter, said unit may only be sold to another
eligible buyer in the same or lower median income level as the original purchaser of

(e) If the project applying for the excess credits was developed with a direct subsidy
from the federal, state, or county governments, the administrator shall either (1)
discount the excess credits earned by the value of the subsidy, or (2) require that
the Agency or other public entity subsidizing the project share equitably in the
proceeds from the transfer of the excess credits. If the project was developed by a
nonprofit corporation and sold to qualified households earning not more than 80%
of the median, or rented to qualified households earning not more than 60% of the
median, the discount shall not exceed 50% of the credits. The administrator may
waive these requirements if the project earning the excess credits addresses a
critical housing need and the excess credits, in addition to the direct subsidy, are or
were a necessary inducement to the construction of the project, or if the excess
credits are earned by a nonprofit entity that will use the proceeds for the
construction of more affordable housing.
(f) For the purposes of this section, a “direct financial subsidy” includes the provision
of land at below market value, or governmental construction of infrastructure
necessary for a housing project, but does not include density bonuses, zoning or
