TOD City Zoning, Permits, and Related Approval ProcessesJesse Souki
One of the largest public investments in the history of the City and County of Honolulu, the Honolulu Rail Transit project will fundamentally change how we live and do business. Transit-oriented development (TOD) will increase property values near transit stations by providing the opportunity to take advantage of frequent transit service. The project will allow an unprecedented opportunity to direct growth to Honolulu’s Urban Core (the most populated region of the state) away from agricultural, open space, and rural areas; stimulate urban renewal projects near the 21 proposed rail stations along the approximately 20-mile route; support cost-efficient, consolidated infrastructure; and increase housing affordability by reducing one of the highest costs in a Hawaii family’s budget: transportation.
This seminar will provide key insights and analysis from experts and thought leaders on policy, planning, law, and real estate market issues related to TOD.

Future of Agriculture in Hawaii: Hawaii Land Use and Planning FrameworkJesse Souki
This document summarizes Hawaii's statewide planning framework and policies related to agriculture. It outlines the State Planning Act and State Land Use Law, which establish the statewide planning system and four land use districts (urban, rural, agricultural, conservation). The system aims to preserve important agricultural lands and guide development to appropriate areas. Key parts of the framework include functional plans, guidelines, land classifications like ALISH that identify important farmlands, and county general plans which must be consistent with statewide objectives. The State Land Use Commission oversees district boundaries and special permits, considering conformity with the overall system.
Navigating Change: Hawai‘i’s Approach to AdaptationJesse Souki
Report for the First Meeting of State, Local and Tribal Leaders Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience December 10, 2013. Jacqueline Kozak Thiel, State Sustainability Coordinator, prepared this report for Governor Neil Abercrombie.
The Task Force web site is at https://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ceq/initiatives/resilience/taskforce.
The document discusses the development of public transportation in Honolulu over time, from streetcars and trains to the current bus system and upcoming rail system. It describes how the rail system will integrate with other transportation networks and change how people get around the island. It also explains how transit-oriented development around rail stations will help manage growth, encourage walkable communities, and accommodate development in a sustainable way.
Panel on Clean Energy and Transportation: Land Use EntitlementsJesse Souki

19. HRS chapter 53, Urban Renewal Law
• Initiation and approval of
redevelopment plan
• Urban renewal projects in
disaster areas
• Acquisition of lands
• Letting of contracts
• May Issue bonds
• Power of condemnation
20. Final Thoughts
• Development costs money
• Government must subsidize it or build it with public monies
• There needs to be incentives (e.g., cheap money, reduced development costs,
available public infrastructure, etc.) to encourage the private sector to build
• Debt-service coverage ratio
• will cash flow (i.e., rents) cover debt payments for the life of the project?
• Be wary of permit exemptions
• A predictable, rational administrative process is needed to gauge risk
• No process is rife with unknown risks
• The minimum legal requirement may not be good enough
• Think systemically about the project from start to finish
• Develop an integrated permitting strategy
• Start early during site selection
