RESOLUTION
URGING THE COUNTIES TO
PRODUCE LAND USE PLANS THAT ACCOUNT FOR HOUSING PRODUCTION AND DEMAND.
WHEREAS, the State is currently in a housing crisis that will require an additional fifty—seven thousand affordable housing units by 2025 in order to meet long—term housing demands, particularly on Oahu; and
WHEREAS, in March 2015, the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism found that for the period of 2015 to 2025, the demand for additional housing units is: 25,847 units for the City and County of Honolulu; 19,610 units for Hawaii County; 13,949 units for Maui County; and 5,287 units for Kauai County; and
WHEREAS, despite this projected acute housing shortage for 2015 to 2025, there has been a lack of measurable progress at the county level to enact policies that will stimulate housing production to meet projected demand; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2022, the House of Representatives concurring, that the counties are urged to produce land use plans that take into account projected acute housing shortages and demand for housing production; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the counties are urged to identify and remove barriers to housing development in their respective jurisdictions; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Mayor of each county and to each county's respective planning and permitting agency.
