Chapter 206E, Hawaii Revised Statutes, mandates that �. . . Public facilities within the district shall be planned, located and developed so as to support the redevelopment policies for the district . . . .�  Therefore, to implement the redevelopment policies of the Makai Area Plan, a broad range of public facilities will be necessary.

The public facilities necessary to implement the redevelopment policies of the Makai Area Plan are detailed in the Transportation Systems, Urban Design and Infrastructure sections of the Plan.  Public facilities by definition include streets, utility and service corridors, utility lines, sites for schools, parks, parking garage, sidewalks, pedestrianways, community facilities, public highways, storm drainage systems, water systems, street lighting systems, off-street parking facilities and sanitary sewerage systems.

The Public Facilities Plan anticipates providing for such public facilities through the following means:
� The district-wide improvement or �Improvement District� program.  The Improvement District program provides a method whereby public facilities development costs are shared among government, private property owners, and public utilities that receive special benefits from such public facilities.  This funding mechanism may be used for all public facilities, although its focus has traditionally been on transportation systems and infrastructure.

� Government-funded construction of public facilities.  Direct funding of certain public facilities by government can be provided through several means including the State of Hawaii�s Capital Improvement Program, public facilities revenue bonds issued by HCDA, and/or rental revenues generated through property leasing by HCDA.  These funding mechanisms are intended to provide for major parks and public activity areas, and other public facilities that generate direct revenues to support bond financing.

� Assessment of developers for the costs of certain public facilities that have a direct relationship or benefit to such new development.  Chapter 206E-12, Hawaii Revised Statutes, mandates that �. . . The authority shall establish rules requiring dedication for public facilities of land or facilities, or cash payments in lieu thereof, by developers as a condition of development . . . .�  This funding mechanism is intended to provide for public facilities needs that are generated by new development as established by the policies of the Makai Area Plan.  These public facilities may include certain improvements to parks, public plazas and walkways, public activity areas and public parking.

� Private development of public facilities through development rules and incentives.  Development rules and incentives that provide for certain public facilities include provisions regulating urban design, public open space and activity areas, arcades and pedestrianways.
