Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 2408, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) to allow developers to satisfy up to 33 percent of the reserved housing requirements by the construction of substitute reserved housing on lands under the control of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) within the urban core of Honolulu on a one-to-one basis.  This bill further provides for the authorized locations of substitute reserved housing units depending upon the location of the development project site.

 

     DHHL testified in support of this bill.  Kamehameha Schools supported the intent of this measure.  A concerned individual opposed this bill.  HCDA and several concerned individuals provided comments.  

 

     Your Committees have amended this bill by:

 

(1)  Changing the maximum percentage of affordable housing requirements that may be satisfied by the construction of substitute reserved housing units on DHHL lands from 33 percent to an unspecified percentage;

(2)  Defining the "urban core of Honolulu" where substitute reserved housing units may be constructed to include the neighborhoods of Salt Lake and Moanalua to Kahala and Maunalani Heights; and

 

(3)  Inserting the contents of House Bill No. 2849, H.D. 1, which encourages the development of affordable residential housing units by statutorily imposing a reserved housing requirement for the Kakaako mauka area of the Kakaako Community Development District for planned developments that are more than 45 feet in height or have a floor area ratio greater than 1.5 on land areas of 20,000 square feet or more.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2408, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2408, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources and Housing,
