3 Proposed Land Use Ordinance (LUO) & Zoning Map Amendments Interim Planned Development Transit Permit (IPD-T) Newly-adopted permit process to facilitate catalytic TOD projects prior to adoption of the neighborhood plans, zoning maps, and LUO amendments Proposed TOD Special District (entire rail corridor) Use and design standards that activate the streetscape Reduced vehicular parking / New bicycle parking Developing formulas for community benefits like affordable housing & connectivity, in return for added height & density Proposed Zoning Map Changes (each TOD zone) Allows for more mixed uses, e.g. AMX, BMX, IMX Begins with Waipahu, continues along entire transit corridor after each plan is adopted

6 Proposed Regulations for Sidewalks in TOD Special Districts (new article in Chpt 14) Introduces new terms Provides options to widen existing sidewalks Allows for street furniture in the frontage & furniture zones Encourages the use of awnings, canopies, & arcades Consolidates some permitting & reduces fees to incentivize streetscape improvements

7 Affordable Housing Strategy Islandwide housing vision, policy plan, and implementation strategies To be incorporated into, implemented by, and coordinated with a variety of public/private plans Affordable housing strategy, TOD codes and zoning, policies, priority projects and targeted funding Revised policies, regulations, incentives, programs, investments, and financial tools Focus on smaller affordable housing percentage, at lower AMI, across more projects, at longer affordability period Accessory dwellings (cottages, additions) on existing lots New building types (townhouses, rowhouses, micro-units)

8 Affordable Housing Vision Oahu will provide housing choices that build community, strengthen neighborhoods, and fit family budgets. All people will have access to shelter. Transit-oriented and transit-ready development Compact, mixed-use community design Healthy, age-friendly communities

9 ADU Ordinance Adopted Small cottages, additions, or converted garages would be permitted on ~ 105,000 existing single-family lots: Provide well-located, well-managed rental housing plus additional income for owners. Take advantage of existing infrastructure. Allow young and old to find accessible housing near families but on their own. Employs smaller contractors in long-term, large scale housing production. Allows after the fact permits (if life safety criteria met)

10 Accessory Dwelling Units Newly constructed main dwelling and ohana unit in Kihei, Maui. ADU constructed over garage. Accessory dwelling unit in Portland, Oregon Images from Reimaging Housing in Hawai i Hawai i Appleseed Center for Law and Economic Justice (2013)

11 Accelerating ADU Production Revised infrastructure checklist; brochure, FAQs. Permit staff trained; guidebook in process. Master permit (M&M) will be available for pre-approved units..

12 SROs and Micro-Units An SRO apodment building in Seattle, WA geared toward young professionals. Units are 170 sq. ft. on average. To make the most of limited space, some micro-units use convertible furniture, such as the above design with a Murphy bed that transforms into a dining table This apodment unit includes a private bath with shower. Full kitchen facilities are shared. Images from Reimaging Housing in Hawai i Hawai i Appleseed Center for Law and Economic Justice (2013)

13 Financial Toolkit Includes financing mechanisms, incentives and policy guidelines to stimulate private investment. Establish Infrastructure Finance Districts (Iwilei Kapalama) Reduce Fees to Lower Affordable Housing Cost Adjust Real Property Tax Exemptions Modify Existing Affordable Housing Fund Create new TOAH loan fund (for mixed income projects) Create a Community Land Trust/ Land Acquisition Fund Target City private activity bonds for affordable housing Target use of HOME & CDBG Funding.

14 Infrastructure and finance tools Two related projects: Infrastructure master plan for Iwilei-to-Kapalama area Work with landowners and development industry to create more specific development plan; analyze infrastructure needs; explore implementation strategies Develop financial toolkit Explore district financing options for I-to-K pilot, then implement preferred district finance option Analyze/recommend other finance and tax options along rail corridor to catalyze development Analyze value capture tools and community benefit formulas

15 Potential Pilot district Iwilei to Kalihi

16 Land Recycling $400k Brownfields Assessment Grant from US EPA Provides consultant assistance to conduct Phase 1 &2 environmental assessments and develop clean-up plans Targeted towards smaller landowners and businesses Technical assistance and education Can help lead to potential clean-up funding

17 Streets as a Placemaking Tool Streets are the City s most usable, largest accessible public space and cost-effective Often over-designed for function; many have extra space Complete Streets projects & manual under way Cycle tracks and bike lanes King and Beretania Guidelines/permitting for bikeshare, carshare, parklets Interim Design Strategies Parklets, pop-ups & street seats Plazas and mini-parks

18 Complete Streets and infrastructure costs Walking, biking, and landscaping costs are a small part of the total costs. 88

26 What s Next? Finalize and adopt Neighborhood TOD Plans Implement zoning and ordinance changes Implement streetscape & connectivity projects Finalize housing strategy and update policies Implement financial tools and incentives Develop priority catalytic projects Work with state and partners on implementation

27 P3 Challenges & Opportunities Public sector purchasing regs can be onerous RFP responses require major investment; can limit developer creativity and market flexibility Lack of experience negotiating P3s on both sides of the table; need more learning opportunities Significant state lands available near transit stations, but controlled by multiple agencies Tremendous opportunity to structure both formal and informal P3 projects
