HB605

Hawaii HB605 allows residential development on certain parcels in Kakaako, sets building height limits, and mandates workforce housing allocations.

Hawaii HB605 modifies the Hawaii Community Development Authority's regulations for residential development in the Kakaako area. The bill permits the authority to approve residential development on specific parcels, raises building height limits to 400 feet, and requires at least 50% of the residential units to be allocated to households with income at or below 140% of the area median income, prioritizing essential workers within a five-mile radius of Kakaako.
