The information is as follows:

Here is the action summary from the DEA:
The six existing 2-story Pepper Tree Apartments, with 58 units, will be replaced by an 8-story, 153-unit affordable rental housing project with 150 parking spaces on 2 levels, a community center, and exercise room. Designed for workforce housing, the affordability of the 18 studios, 51 1-bedroom, 72 2-bedroom, and 12 3-bedroom units, has not been finalized, but is intended to meet the C&C of Honolulu 201H HRS, affordable housing guidelines. At least 20% of the units will be for families earning less than 80% of the area median income (AMI), 31% for families earning less than 120% of AMI. The units will be affordable for at least 61 years. The BMX-3 parcel has a 90-ft. height limit and is in the Pearl Ridge Transit Oriented Development Area. The site is in the SMA pursuant to Chapter 25, ROH. Upon the acceptance of a Final EA and the issuance of a FONSI by DPP, the SMA application can be accepted for processing, with decision-making by the Honolulu City Council.
