Land Use & Zoning
What is 'Honolulu's Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plan' and how does it affect property values near rail stations?
AA. TOD restricts all development near rail stations to preserve existing neighborhoods
BB. Honolulu's TOD plan designates higher-density mixed-use development zones around rail stations, potentially increasing property values near stations as higher-density use is permitted✓ Correct
CC. TOD only affects commercial properties near rail stations
DD. The TOD plan has no effect on private property values; it only governs government-owned land
Explanation
Honolulu's TOD plan zones areas around HART rail stations for higher-density mixed-use development. Properties within TOD zones may see value increases as the higher-density zoning allows more intensive development. Real estate investors and developers have targeted TOD zone properties anticipating value appreciation. Hawaii agents should understand which areas are in TOD zones when advising clients.
