The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is proposing zone changes around the Halawa (Aloha Stadium) rail transit station to facilitate implementation of the Halawa Area Transit-Oriented Development Plan. The proposed zone changes for the station area cover approximately 227 acres in total.

2. RELATING TO THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT SPECIAL DISTRICT
The Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) is proposing to amend the Revised Ordinances of Honolulu Chapter 21, Land Use Ordinance, relating to the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Special District (SD). This proposal will expand the TOD SD by adding the Halawa (Aloha Stadium) rail station area.
