Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Kam Drive-Inn Development

Available for download below is a PDF version of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed “Live, Work, Play ‘Aiea” project.

The Live, Work, Play ‘Aiea community, proposed on the 14-acre property formerly used for Kamehameha Drive-In Theatre in Aiea, Oahu, would integrate homes, stores, restaurants, offices, and public plazas. Major components include up to 1,500 homes in five buildings ranging in height from 150 to 350 feet tall, 143,000 square feet of commercial space, and 80,000 square feet of office space.

To allow for the uses envisioned, a change in zoning will be necessary from the B-2 Community Business District to BMX-3 Community Business Mixed-Use District with a maximum height limit of 350 feet.

We are very happy to be able to pass on the news that Ms. Heather Haunani Giugni was sworn in on Tuesday as the new Representative for House District 33 (‘Aiea, ‘Aiea Heights, Halawa Heights, Halawa Valley, and Red Hill)!

Congratulations, Rep. Giugni, and thank you for stepping up to serve our community!

The press release from Governor Neil Abercrombie’s office announcing Rep. Giugni’s appointment is listed below.


HONOLULU – Governor Neil Abercrombie today announced the appointment of Heather Haunani Giugni to the state House of Representatives for District 33, which includes ‘Aiea, ‘Aiea Heights, Halawa Heights, Halawa Valley and Red Hill.

Ms. Giugni fills the seat left vacant by former Representative Tom Okamura who stepped down recently due to health reasons.

“Heather and her family have been part of the democratic story for generations,” said Governor Abercrombie. “The lessons she’s learned firsthand from Hawai’i’s leaders have helped define her strong commitment to uplifting young people and building a better future for this state. In addition, her skills and appreciation of modern technology and communication will be valuable assets to the legislature.”

With over 25 years of film and video experience, Ms. Giugni is the owner of Juniroa Productions and a founding member of ‘Ulu’ulu: The Henry K. Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai’i. She has worked on numerous documentaries that have highlighted history, culture and traditions of Hawai’i. Ms. Giugni has been a producer for the live broadcasts of the Kamehameha Schools Song Contest and the Merrie Monarch Hula Festival. She is a producer and mentor for Hiki No, a PBS Hawai’i show produced by Hawai’i high school students.

“I look forward to serving the community and following in the footsteps of those leaders who represented this special district,” said Ms. Giugni.

Ms. Giugni is a resident of ‘Aiea. Her swearing in ceremony will take place Tuesday, February 21, when the House of Representatives convenes.
