Honolulu's Department of Planning and Permitting will be meeting later this must to review the rezoning request for the Hoopili project in West Oahu The 1,289 acres of land in question is currently zoned as agriculture, but developer D.R. Horton would like to build a total of 11,750 homes along with 3 million sq ft of commercial space, five schools, and 159 acres of commercial farms. Supporters of the development argue that it will provide jobs and additional homes that will help with Oahu's housing shortage. Opponents of Hoopili argue that it would reduce prime agricultural lands and increase traffic in the area.
