  • Abutilon Contingency Reserve (large natural preservation area) integrated into open space network

Urban Form:

  • Buildings oriented toward the street, while generally observing a uniform setback to create a continuous facade
  • Kaloi-Kualakai greenway serving as a transition for buildings facing Kualakai Parkway with maintenance and other back-of-house activities accessed by internal streets and service roads
  • Parking garages or podiums screened or wrapped on street side with habitable dwelling units or commercial spaces
  • Buildings and open spaces configured to take advantage of public amenities and views of the mountain ranges, while respecting trade-wind patterns and other environmental conditions to capitalize on opportunities for alternative energy and natural solutions

Land Use:

  • Mixed-use development to promote active, vibrant streetscapes with commercial activity on most street frontages to provide distinctive, vibrant public spaces at ground level
  • Smaller block sizes nearest the station
  • Building intensity generally declining with distance from the station
