Special Management Area Use Permit Public Hearing

Department of Planning and Permitting Public Hearing on Special Management Area Use Permit and Shoreline Setback Variance Permit Application

The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is reviewing an application for a Special Management Area Use Permit (SMP) to construct portions of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (HRTP), including a storm water outfall drain line and culvert for the maintenance and storage facility. About 1.3 miles of the HRTP total guideway length of 20 miles, including the makai portion of the Pearlridge Station, lie within the Special Management Area (SMA) and require an SMP. The outfall for the drain line of the maintenance and storage facility is in the 40-foot shoreline setback area and requires a Shoreline Setback Variance.

NOTE: Although an SMP, No. 2010/SMA-57, and a Shoreline Setback Variance, No. 2011/SV-7, were previously granted for the HRTP, new permits are being re-processed pursuant to the August 24, 2012 State Supreme Court ruling in Kaleikini v. Yoshioka (No. SCAP-11-0000611).

In accordance with Chapters 23 and 25, Revised Ordinances of Honolulu, the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) will conduct a public hearing regarding these applications on the following dates and locations:

  1. Friday, August 2, 2013 at 10 a.m., at the Keehi Lagoon Memorial Park (Disabled American Veterans), 2685 North Nimitz Highway, Honolulu, Hawaii 96819; and
  2. Monday, August 5, 2013 at 10 a.m., at the Filipino Community Center, 94-428 Mokuola Street, Waipahu, Hawaii 96797

The public hearing has been advertised in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser on July 12, 2013. All interested persons are invited to attend. Any disabled persons requiring special assistance should call 566-2299 at least two working days prior to the scheduled hearing for assistance.
