As the notice prints it

The Applicant proposes the development of Mākena Mauka, a low-density master planned residential community and related amenities. The project will offer market rate housing and residential workforce housing with a mixture of rural and single-family lots and both single-family and multi-family residential units, all located mauka of Makena Alanui Road. The Applicant is proposing a substantially lower density plan than that presented in the Environmental Impact Statement Preparation Notice (EISPN). This plan reduces the 900 housing units (proposed in the EISPN) to 652 housing units, including 109 onsite residential workforce housing units. The project includes the existing Mākena North Golf Course, the existing to-be- renovated Mākena South Golf Course, and will incorporate approximately 135,000 sq. ft. of operational support buildings, including golf maintenance, staff offices, restaurants, back of house, golf operations, and other uses. The project will also include a community gathering place, hiking trails, programs to support connectivity, walking/bicycling/golf cart paths, public beach parking, and areas reserved for conservation, open space, and public beach access.
