BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 201H-38, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a)
The corporation may develop on behalf of the State or with an eligible
developer, or may assist under a government assistance program in the development
of, housing projects that shall be exempt from all statutes, ordinances,
charter provisions, and rules of any government agency relating to planning,
zoning, construction standards for subdivisions, development and improvement of
land, and the construction of dwelling units thereon; provided that:
(1) The
corporation finds the housing project is consistent with the purpose and intent
of this chapter, [and] meets minimum requirements of health and safety[;],
and is located in a medium- or high-density zoning district;
(2) The
development of the proposed housing project does not contravene any safety
standards, tariffs, or rates and fees approved by the public utilities
commission for public utilities or of the various boards of water supply
authorized under chapter 54;
(3) The
legislative body of the county in which the housing project is to be situated
shall have approved the project with or without modifications:
(A) The
legislative body shall approve, approve with modification, or disapprove the
project by resolution within forty-five days after the corporation has
submitted the preliminary plans and specifications for the project to the
legislative body. If on the forty-sixth
day a project is not disapproved, it shall be deemed approved by the
legislative body;
(B) No
action shall be prosecuted or maintained against any county, its officials, or
employees on account of actions taken by them in reviewing, approving,
modifying, or disapproving the plans and specifications; and
(C) The
final plans and specifications for the project shall be deemed approved by the
legislative body if the final plans and specifications do not substantially
deviate from the preliminary plans and specifications. The final plans and specifications for the
project shall constitute the zoning, building, construction, and subdivision
standards for that project. For purposes
of sections 501-85 and 502-17, the executive director of the corporation or the
responsible county official may certify maps and plans of lands connected with
the project as having complied with applicable laws and ordinances relating to
consolidation and subdivision of lands, and the maps and plans shall be
accepted for registration or recordation by the land court and registrar; and
(4) The land use commission shall approve, approve with modification, or disapprove a boundary change within forty-five days after the corporation has submitted a petition to the commission as provided in section 205-4. If, on the forty-sixth day, the petition is not disapproved, it shall be deemed approved by the commission."
