SB534

Hawaii SB534 allows the Hawaii Community Development Authority to approve residential development in Kakaako, with specific provisions for height.

Hawaii SB534 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the Hawaii Community Development Authority to approve residential development in the Kakaako area, bounded by specific streets. The bill mandates that at least 50% of the residential units be allocated to households with income at or below 140% of the area median income, with priority for essential workers within a five-mile radius of Kakaako. It raises the building height limit to 400 feet for approved developments and requires public hearings before approval.
