'13 FEB LA FOR AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 9 , KAUAI COUNTY CODE
1987, AS AMENDED, TO ALLOW FOR MULTI -MODAL TRANSPORTATION
PRINCIPLES FOR SUBDIVISIONS
CG
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 9 of the Kaua`i County Code 1987, as amended,
often referred to as the "Subdivision Ordinance for the County of Kaua`i."
The purpose of this bill is to implement the Complete Streets Policy pursuant to
Council Resolution No. 2010 -48 and the General Plan's policies for town centers and public
facilities by ensuring that new subdivisions are designed and constructed to support multi -
modal transportation circulation.
This bill requires that all streets within a subdivision shall accommodate multi -
modal circulation networks and travel by bicyclists, public transportation vehicles and their
passengers, and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. The bill also requires that curbs,
gutters, and sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of all proposed or existing streets
within or abutting the subdivision in Commercial, Industrial and Resort Districts; in
Residential Districts where the density permitted is four (4) units or more per acre; and in
any other Zoning Districts within the State Land Use -Urban District that are located
within one -half mile from any elementary school, intermediate school, high school, or
college.
The bill further establishes the Sidewalk/Shared Use Path Fund' for Residential
Districts where the Department of Public Works determines that sidewalk construction is
infeasible due to pending street or utility construction, or unnecessary if an alternate
method of pedestrian circulation exists. The Planning Commission shall require the
subdivider to pay a fee in lieu of required sidewalk construction, which will be deposited
into the 'Sidewalk/Shared Use Path Fund.' The fees collected may be expended by the
County Engineer for sidewalk or shared use path planning, design, land acquisition,
construction and/or repair, and shall not lapse at the close of the fiscal year.
