A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INDUSTRIAL PARKS ON PUBLIC LANDS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 171-132, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§171-132 Designation of industrial park. A contiguous area of not less than five acres of public lands which is classified or otherwise determined by the board as suitable and economically feasible for industrial use may be designated as an industrial park:
(1) By resolution adopted by the board [of land
and natural resources], and approved by the legislature by concurrent
resolution; or
(2) By law.
For purposes of this section, a contiguous area may include existing roadways that would provide access to or within the industrial park."
SECTION 2. Section 171-135, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§171-135 Joint venture or development
agreement. (a) An industrial park may be developed under section 171-134
by the department in partnership or under a development agreement with a
federal agency, county, or private party subject to a partnership or
development agreement executed by the chairperson of the board[; provided
that if the industrial park is to be developed in partnership or under a
development agreement with a private party, the private party shall be selected
in accordance with section 103D-302 or 103D-303]. At a minimum, the
agreement shall provide for:
(1) A determination by the board that the partnership agreement or the development agreement is for a public purpose;
(2) Long-term assurance that the public land within the industrial park will be utilized for industrial uses;
(3) Final approval by the board of the plans and specifications for the industrial park;
(4) Exclusive authority by the board to issue leases or master leases within the industrial park; and
(5) Conditions to ensure a public benefit from any state funds expended for the industrial park.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a partnership or development agreement entered into pursuant to subsection (a) may provide for:
(1) The board to issue master leases within an industrial park by negotiation, without regard to the limitations provided in sections 171-16(c) and 171-59(a), to the entity that developed or will develop the industrial park or the nominee or nominees of the entity that developed or will develop the industrial park; and
(2) A master lease with terms and conditions upon which the master lessee may issue tenant subleases within the industrial park without the consent of the board."
SECTION 3. Section 171-141, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§171-141 Lease for eligible [permittee]
tenant in industrial park. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision
of law to the contrary:
(1) A parcel of the public lands within an industrial park which had been occupied and used under a permit or lease on the day before the date of designation of that industrial park shall be an economic unit in that industrial park. For the purpose of this section:
(A) "Date of designation" means the effective date of the resolution or law which designates an industrial park; and
(B) "Eligible economic unit" means an economic unit referred to under this paragraph;
(2) A person with a permit or lease to use an
eligible economic unit on the day before the date of designation of that
industrial park shall be given first preference to lease that unit after the
date of designation if the person is an eligible [lessee.] tenant.
For the purpose of this section, an "eligible [permittee"] tenant"
means a person referred to under this paragraph;
(3) The board shall issue a lease to an eligible [permittee]
tenant for an eligible economic unit under mutually agreeable terms,
conditions, and lease rent. The lease shall be issued through negotiations,
without regard to the limitations set forth in section 171-16(c) and section
171-59(a). The terms, conditions, and rent under the lease shall be in
conformance with this chapter, and the board shall include lease covenants in
each lease for the placement and construction of improvements in accordance
with minimum standards established by applicable county building codes;
(4) The board shall negotiate in good faith with each
eligible [permittee.] tenant. If the board and eligible [permittee]
tenant cannot agree to a lease within one hundred eighty days from the
date of designation, the board shall have no further obligation to negotiate
with or issue a lease to the eligible [permittee] tenant and may
issue a lease for the eligible economic unit to another person after the one
hundred eighty-day period; provided that any lease for the eligible economic
unit issued subsequent to the termination of the one hundred eighty-day period
shall not include terms and conditions which are less restrictive, and a lease
rent which is less, than the terms, conditions, and lease rent last offered in
writing by the eligible [permittee] tenant and received by the
board; and
(5) The board, in lieu of issuing a lease under
paragraph (3), may issue a master lease to [a corporation] an entity
whose members or shareholders shall be either eligible [permittees] tenants
or eligible sublessees of the industrial park, through negotiations and without
regard to the limitations provided in section 171 16(c) and section 171-59(a).
The master lease shall provide for the issuance of subleases to eligible [permittees]
tenants and other sublessees approved by the board, on terms and
conditions approved by the board. The terms and conditions of a master lease
concerning the authority to sublease shall supersede any contrary term or
condition in a development agreement executed prior to the issuance of the
master lease; provided that all other terms and conditions of the development
agreement shall be incorporated and made a part of the master lease. All
terms, conditions, and rents under the master lease and subleases shall be in
conformance with this chapter, and the board shall include lease covenants in
the master lease and each sublease for the placement and construction of
improvements in accordance with minimum standards established by applicable
county building codes. The lessee under the master lease shall assume the
responsibility of administering and monitoring [permittee] sublessee
compliance with all sublease obligations.
(b) It is the intent of the legislature that
persons occupying and using public lands under a month-to-month [or
revocable] permit or lease, which public lands [which] have
been designated as part of an industrial park, be given the opportunity to
lease the same public lands occupied and used prior to the designation. The
application, construction, and interpretation of this section shall reflect
this intent."
SECTION 4. Section 171-142, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the title and subsection (a) to read as follows:
"[[]§171-142[]]
Lease for dislocated lessees [dislocated by condemnation
proceedings]. (a) For purposes of this section:
(1) "Dislocated lessee" means any lessee
engaged in commercial or industrial uses who has been or will be displaced [from]:
(A) From private property [which]
that is acquired by the State or any county for public use by the power
of eminent domain or threat thereof; [and] or
(B) From public lands due to termination of a lease with the State by mutual agreement of the lessee and the State; and
(2) "Eligible relocation site" means a site
in an industrial park created under this chapter or on other [state] public
land, designated as an appropriate relocation site for dislocated lessees by
law, or by resolution adopted by the board [of land and natural resources]
and approved by the legislature by concurrent resolution."
SECTION 5. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 6. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
