TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
|
While the Honolulu Rail Transit project is moving ahead under the
direction of the Department of Transportation Services, we at DPP
are planning for the anticipated growth and change around its
transit stations. Transit and TOD can positively affect the way we
commute and the way we live. The goal of each community-based TOD Plan is to identify such opportunities and lay the foundation for its area's success.
AIEA-PEARL CITY NEIGHBORHOOD TOD PLAN
Situated between Downtown Honolulu and Central Oahu, the Aiea and Pearl City communities serve as "connectors" between and "destinations" from other regions. With rail service and linkages along the Kamehameha Highway corridor, the 3 station areas have the potential to emerge as dynamic social and economic environments. For information on prior community workshops, click here.
EAST KAPOLEI NEIGHBORHOOD TOD PLAN
Planning for land development around the three transit stations in East Kapolei is in progress. The location of these stations on the greenfields of Ewa presents a great opportunity to explore and develop optimal TOD land use patterns. The Public Review Draft is available for review. Comments are due June 30, 2010 to Matt Higashida at mhigashida@honolulu.gov.
WAIPAHU NEIGHBORHOOD TOD PLAN
Two transit stations are to be located along Farrington Highway in Waipahu, bringing exciting economic opportunities to one of our more established and heritage-rich communities. This Neighborhood TOD Plan is our first in a series of planning efforts for all station areas. The Public Review Draft is available for review.

MORE COMMUNITY PLANNING GOING ON

Ewa Connectivity Study (2009)
This study was prepared to provide guidance and recommendations for a network of interconnected road and bike routes throughout Ewa, and will be used as a resource for the subdivision review process as it relates to the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians, as well as vehicles. When implemented, it will provide alternative travel options other than dependence on major arterial roads. While addressing Ewa connectivity, its principles are applicable to any large new development on Oahu.

CITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING RULES
The Department of Planning and Permitting is pleased to announce the adoption of the affordable housing rules for unilateral agreements. These rules, effective February 28, 2010, replace the Department of Housing and Community Development Rules for the Terms for Unilateral Agreements Requiring Affordable Housing (1994) as last amended in 1995. The Rules are consistent with City Council's Resolution 90-241,CD-1 regarding increasing the moderate income threshold to include households with up to 140% median income, enabling more working families to qualify for affordable units required under the unilateral agreements.
