What: Resolution 26-230 grants Chapter 201H exemptions to the Kapolei Parkway lots 2-5 affordable rental project: about 737 affordable units plus 8 manager units on 15.2 acres of city land in Kapolei, developed by the Kobayashi Group and AHE Group with the Department of Land Management. Rents stay affordable for at least 73 years.
Where it stands: amended to a CD1 and reported out for adoption on October 22 with no objection.
Next: full council vote; the developers must still finish a development agreement with the Department of Land Management and return to council.

Income averaging at an overall 60% of area median income (households at 30% to 80%); one- to four-bedroom units, no studios; about 1,000 parking spaces and 440 bike stalls; 3 to 4 stories (46 feet maximum); a planned preschool extending the existing public one.
Developers estimated 60%-AMI rents of about $1,700 (one bedroom) to $2,680 (four bedrooms), including utilities.
The CD1 waives wastewater system facility charges for the affordable units and park dedication fees, and gives a bike-parking reduction and joint-development exemption.
Chair Kiaʻāina pressed on the unfinished development agreement and, with Cordero, asked that the Department of Land Management attend such hearings. Tupola backed the project, asked about lessons from the neighboring Parkway Village, and promised another town hall with Mehana residents.
Testimony: two Carpenters union representatives in support; a Kapolei resident opposed the park-fee waivers, citing no recreational space for the roughly 700-plus new units.
