HRS §46-14.5
Counties may loosen land use rules for mixed-income rental housing
Counties can bend land use and public facility rules to encourage rental housing projects that include low-income units. The project must set aside some units for people earning up to 140% of the area median income, and 20% of those units for people earning up to 80% of the median. This section only allows that flexibility; it does not require any project.

The statute, as written — ‑14.5 Land use density and infrastructure; low-income rental units
Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the counties are authorized to provide flexibility in land use density provisions and public facility requirements to encourage the development of any rental housing project where at least a portion of the rental units are set aside for persons and families with incomes at or below one hundred forty per cent of the area median family income, of which twenty per cent are set aside for persons and families with incomes at or below eighty per cent of the area median family income.
