TOD Planning Principals for the

Pearlridge Community

1. Create access and views to Water and Pearl Harbor Historic Trail

2. Encourage workforce housing

3. Create a comfortable and lively pedestrian environment

4. Provide multi-modal access to and from the station

5. Develop new and enhance existing open space

The RPG Team fully embraced the idea of creating a

TOD Urban Mixed Use Village.

• Residential, retail and office

• Landmarks, gateways, squares, and public gathering

areas

• Pedestrian friendly with pleasant walkways and roads

• Attractive street furniture, public art and water features

• Foster community events, concerts, markets, exhibits

and celebrations

• Variety of residential uses including condos, senior

housing, lofts and flats (both work-force and market)

• Catalyst to draw people in and enhance the vitality of

the community

• Compact mixed-use transit ready with an urban

character unlike anything else in Honolulu

Create a PLACE, not a Project, which encompasses smart growth

design in homage to the property’s location in the urban core,

fostering an environment of “Live-Work-Play” and utilizing sustainable

building and design practices to minimize the environmental footprint

of the project.

New Mission Statement

With this mission in mind, as well as the challenges

discovered in previous plans, the team first

addressed four critical issues with a well thought out

Conceptual Master Plan:

1. Connectivity within the project and within the community

2. A Public Gathering Area/Focus for the Village

3. Project Density & Building Heights

4. Community & Pedestrian friendly landscape

Why an EIS?

• Re-zoning required to allow residential uses, commercial uses, and additional height

• Zone changes over 5 acres require preparation of an EA or an EIS

• An EIS will be prepared rather than a less extensive EA

• EIS is not a permit or a zone change – a separate application will be prepared for the zone change

• Honolulu City Council decides zone change after the Final EIS is accepted and zoning application has been processed
