(6) Development shall result in a community which permits an appropriate land mixture of residential, commercial, light industrial, and other uses. In view of the innovative nature of the mixed use approach, urban design policies shall be established for the public and private sectors in the proper development of the urban redevelopment district; provided that any of the corporation's proposed actions in the urban redevelopment district that are subject to chapter 343 shall comply with chapter 343 and federal environmental requirements; provided further that the corporation may engage in any studies or coordinative activities permitted in this subpart which affect areas lying outside the district, where the corporation in its discretion decides that those activities are necessary to implement the intent of this subpart. The studies or coordinative activities shall be limited to facility systems, resident and industrial relocation, and other activities with the counties and appropriate state agencies. The corporation may engage in construction activities outside of the urban redevelopment district; provided that such construction relates to infrastructure development or residential or business relocation activities; provided further that such construction shall comply with the general plan, development plan, ordinances, and rules of the county in which the urban redevelopment district is located;
(10) All projects shall be in compliance with all applicable statutes, rules, and ordinances related to historic and cultural resource preservation;
(11) Land use activities within the urban redevelopment district, where compatible, shall to the greatest possible extent be mixed horizontally, that is, within blocks or other land areas, and vertically, as integral units of multi-purpose structures;
(c) ALOHA homes within the urban redevelopment district shall not be advertised for rent, rented, or used for any purpose other than owner-occupied residential use; provided that the corporation shall establish penalties for violations of this subsection up to and including forced sale of an ALOHA home.
(d) The corporation shall establish a competition process for selecting the design and development vendors of ALOHA homes with the appropriate number of units to accommodate small and medium vendors. The criteria of the competition process shall include but not be limited to preferences on the basis of prior experience in the State and an understanding of the State's unique culture; provided that the corporation may include an opportunity for community input through public vote. The corporation may provide a stipend in a manner and an amount to be determined by the corporation to competitors pursuant to this subsection.
(f) The corporation shall recoup all expenses through the sales of the leasehold interest of ALOHA homes and other revenue sources, including but not limited to the leasing of commercial projects.
§201H-F Sale of the leasehold interest of ALOHA homes; rules; guidelines. (a) The corporation shall develop and adopt rules, subject to chapter 91, for the sale of the leasehold interest of ALOHA homes within the urban redevelopment district; provided that each lease shall be for a term of ninety-nine years. The rules shall include the following requirements for an eligible buyer or owner of an ALOHA home within the district:
(1) The person shall be a resident of the State; provided that voting in the most recent primary or general election shall be one indication of residency in the State; provided further that not voting in any primary or general election creates a rebuttable presumption of non-residency;
provided that the rules under this subsection shall not include any requirements or limitations related to an individual's income or any preferences to first-time homebuyers. The rules shall include strict enforcement of owner-occupancy, including a prohibition on the renting out of ALOHA homes, and may include requirements for the use of face recognition, verification of the presence of owner-occupants and prevention of access of all unauthorized persons through retina scan for a minimum number of days per year, or fingerprint scan technology.
(b) ALOHA homes within the urban redevelopment district shall be priced to be affordable, as determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, to an individual or family whose income does not exceed eighty per cent of the area median income, or $300,000, whichever is lower; provided that the price shall be adjusted for inflation.
(c) The corporation shall establish waitlists for each residential development for eligible buyers to determine the order in which ALOHA homes shall be sold. Waitlist priorities may include school, college, or university affiliation if the residential property is a redeveloped school, college, or university; proximity of an eligible buyer's existing residence to an ALOHA home within the urban redevelopment district; and other criteria based on the impact the development has on the eligible buyer.
(e) An owner of an ALOHA home may sell the ALOHA home after five or more years of owner-occupancy; provided that the corporation shall have the right of first refusal to purchase the ALOHA home at a price that is to be determined by the corporation using the price at which the owner purchased the ALOHA home as the cost basis, adjusted for inflation, and may include a percentage of the appreciation in value of the unit. If the corporation does not exercise its right to purchase the ALOHA home, the ALOHA home may be sold by the owner to an eligible buyer; provided that the corporation shall retain seventy-five per cent of all profits from the sale net of closing and financing costs, using the price at which the owner purchased the ALOHA home as the cost basis. Upon the death of the owner of an ALOHA home, the ALOHA home may be transferred to the deceased's heir by devise or as any other real property under existing law; provided that if the heir is not an eligible buyer, the heir shall sell the ALOHA home to the corporation at a price that is to be determined by the corporation using the price at which the owner purchased the ALOHA home as the cost basis, adjusted for inflation, and may include a percentage of the appreciation in value of the unit.
(f) If an owner of an ALOHA home sells the ALOHA home before five years of owner-occupation, the corporation shall purchase the ALOHA home at a price that is to be determined by the corporation using the price at which the owner purchased the ALOHA home as the cost basis, adjusted for inflation.
§201H-G Use of public lands; acquisition of state lands.

The sale, lease, grant, or conveyance shall be made with or without consideration and upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the county and the corporation. Certification shall be evidenced by a formal request from the corporation. Before the sale, lease, grant, or conveyance may be made to the corporation, a public hearing shall be held by the local governing body to consider the same.

§201H-L Lease of projects. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the corporation may, without recourse to public auction or public notice for sealed bids, lease for a term not exceeding sixty-five years all or any portion of the real or personal property constituting a commercial project to any person, upon such terms and conditions as may be approved by the corporation; provided that all revenues generated from the lease shall be used to support the purpose of this subpart pursuant to section 201H-B.
