(c) To undertake such a joint development, the landowners, duly authorized agents of the owners, or lessees shall submit an agreement for review by the executive director that binds themselves and their successors in title or lease, individually and collectively, to maintain the pattern of development proposed in such a way that there will be conformity with applicable zoning rules. The right to enforce the agreement shall also be granted to the authority or executive director, as the case may be. (d) If it is found that the area involved is compact, regular, or logical, and that the proposed agreement assures future protection of the public interest and is consistent with the intent of the Kalaeloa master plan, the request may be approved.

A fence, or low wall, at the frontage line can help to maintain street spatial definition. The lanai and first story may be elevated from the sidewalk to enhance privacy. Stoop (FT.2) The main building facade is slightly set back from the frontage line, and the the first story may be elevated from the sidewalk to enhance privacy. The entrance is usually an exterior stair and landing. Dooryard (FT.3) The main building facade is slightly set back from the frontage line, but a fence or low wall encloses a small yard that helps to maintain street spatial definition. The first story may be elevated from the sidewalk to enhance privacy. A covered porch may also add functionality and enhance the facade. Forecourt (FT.4) A portion of the main building facade is placed close to the frontage line, while a portion is set back to create a forecourt or courtyard. Large trees within the forecourt may overhang the sidewalks. Larger forecourts may be suitable for vehicular circulation. November 2025 15-217-132 Frontage Type Plan Section Shopfront (FT.5) The facade is aligned close to the frontage line with the building entrance at the sidewalk level. This facade type can work to help activate the street and sidewalk, especially when used with large windows into commercial or retail spaces and awnings. Terrace (FT.6) The facade is set back from the frontage line by an enclosed terrace. A fence or low wall at the frontage line can help to maintain street spatial definition. Terraces can be used as outdoor cafes. Raised Terrace (FT.7) The facade is set back from the frontage line by an elevated terrace. This type buffers residential uses from urban sidewalks and also removes the private yard from public encroachment. Arcade (FT.8) A colonnade supporting habitable space that overlaps the sidewalk, while the arcade at sidewalk level remains at or behind the frontage line. This type is conventional for retail use.

As a lei, the frontage facing the main street, the side facades and rear of the volume, are open and host active functions. The center of the block contains service spaces such as parking, storage, or manufacturing. This mid- to high-density typology activates the street while hosting service spaces. A. Pedestrian Access 1. Entrances to upper floors shall be accessed through an interior lobby, accessed directly from the street. 2. All retail spaces should be accessed from a ground floor, single-tenant entry along a street, courtyard, or Passageway. B. Parking Design and Location 1. Where provided, parking shall be located in the third layer (See Figure 9). 2. If accommodated in an above-ground garage, parking shall be concealed from view at the public frontage through a liner of habitable space for at least the first 21 feet of building height on at least three sides of the building. Where exposed to the street, above-ground garages shall be screened from view at the public frontage by landscaping, green screens, or cladding. C. Open Space 1. At least twenty per cent of the lot area shall be provided as open space and shall be open to the sky. At least one-third of this requirement shall be provided at-grade. 2. Projections into the open space are permitted on all sides of the space. D. Frontage 1. Permissible frontage types are Lanai and Frontyard (Figure FT.1), Stoop (Figure FT.2), Shopfront (Figure FT.5), Terrace (Figure FT.6), Raised Terrace (Figure FT.7), and Arcade (Figure FT.8). E. Building Massing 1. Front facades shall have at least one encroaching element, such as porches or balconies, or plane break that cumulatively occupy at least ten per cent of the facade.

The unit may vary in size and can be divided horizontally or vertically into multiple apartments or retail spaces that are accessible from a habitable shared lanai. It can be complemented by an auxiliary building for storage or covered parking. This is a mid- to high-density typology that fosters social interaction, offers an open covered space for encounter, and creates layers of privacy. A. Pedestrian Access 1. Circulation to all upper floors shall be through an exterior corridor, lobby, or courtyard. B. Parking Design and Location 1. Where provided, parking shall be located in the third layer (See Figure 9). C. Open Space 1. At least twenty per cent of the lot area shall be provided as open space. At least one-third of this requirement shall be provided at-grade. 2. Projections into the open space are permitted on all sides of the space. D. Frontage 1. Permissible frontage types are: Lanai and Front Yard (Figure FT. 1), Stoop (Figure FT.2), Dooryard (Figure FT.3), Shopfront (Figure FT.5), Terrace (Figure FT.6), Raised Terrace (Figure FT.7), and Arcade (Figure FT.8).

This low-density typology, typical in rural contexts, supports social and cultural integration and allows communication between closed, covered, and open spaces. A. Pedestrian Access 1. The perimeter must be accessible from the access road, open areas, and private alleys. B. Parking Design and Location 1. Where provided, parking shall be located in the third layer (See Figure 9). C. Open Space 1. The maximum covered space is determined by the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) established for the T2 Transect Zones. D. Frontage 1. Permissible frontage types are Lanai and Frontyard (Figure FT.1), Stoop (Figure FT.2), Dooryard (Figure FT.3), Shopfront (Figure FT.5), Terrace (Figure FT.6), Raised Terrace (Figure FT.7), and Arcade (Figure FT.8).
