"This environmental impact statement (EIS) has been prepared to analyze the impacts of transit-oriented development in Kakaʻako. Development in the KCDD is governed by rules established separately for the mauka area and the makai area. For the purposes of this EIS, the "future baseline" condition is what would happen in the district if it were built-out in accordance with established rules and plans. The proposed action is a regulatory "overlay" on the future baseline condition. Rather than change the fundamental character already established for the KCDD, it amends it or overlays it by offering a vision of how the district could respond to the opportunities presented by the introduction of an elevated light rail system in the mauka area. The HART light rail system presents certain additional urban infill development opportunities with the KCDD and it is the impact of the additional development opportunity that is being disclosed in this EIS" -- Executive summary.
