NOTICE IS HEREBY given of public hearings to be held by the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA), a body corporate and a public instrumentality of the State of Hawaii, pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Sections 91-3, 92-41, 206E-5.6, and Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) Chapter 15-219, to consider proposed amendments to Hawaii Administrative Rules, Title 15, Subtitle 4, Chapter 218, “Kakaako Reserved Housing Rules”, on the following dates and times and at the location specified below:

DATES/TIMES: August 16, 2017
9:00 a.m. (Presentation and Public Hearing)

The overarching purpose of the proposed amendments to the Kakaako Reserved Housing Rules is to promote the development of additional reserved housing units and workforce housing units, and preserve the existing inventory of reserved housing units and workforce housing units in the Kakaako Community Development District. The proposed amendments will expand the sources of reserved housing units, encourage further development of for-sale and rental reserved housing and workforce housing units, preserve the existing reserved housing inventory, ensure consistency with affordable housing rules administered by other State and City agencies, and clarify specific existing provisions and terms applicable to reserved housing and workforce housing units in the Kakaako Community Development District, including the existing regulated term and equity sharing provisions applicable to reserved housing units. With respect to workforce housing, the proposed amendments will establish buyback and equity sharing provisions for workforce housing units. Additionally, various housekeeping amendments are proposed for clarification and consistency.

www.dbedt.hawaii.gov/hcda. A hard copy of the proposed Draft Amendment may also be obtained via regular mail upon payment of photocopying and postage handling fees.
