STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2103
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2408
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2408 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to amend the criteria for approval by the Hawaii Community Development Authority of substitute reserved housing projects to be constructed within and outside of the geographic boundaries of the Authority's jurisdiction.
Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency and one organization. One state agency supports the intent, and one organization submitted testimony in opposition. Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
This measure requires landowners and developers of Hawaii Community Development Authority lands, who choose to satisfy their reserved affordable housing requirements by constructing or causing to be constructed substitute reserved housing units, to construct those units on lands controlled by the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. This mandate will provide more viable housing opportunities for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands. Your Committee finds that this measure can also serve the needs of native Hawaiian families struggling to find adequate housing.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Reducing the reserved housing allowance for Department of Hawaiian Home Lands land to fifty per cent of the reserved housing requirement; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2408, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2408, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Education and Housing.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs,
