                                 Honolulu, Hawaii
                                                   , 1999

                                 RE: H.C.R. No. 47
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Water and Land Use, to which was referred
H.C.R. No. 47 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE HONOLULU CITY
     COUNCIL TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 98-226, PROPOSING AMENDMENTS
     TO CHAPTER 21, REVISED ORDINANCES OF HONOLULU 1990, RELATING
     TO ZONING OF ADULT ESTABLISHMENTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to urge the Honolulu City
Council to adopt Resolution No. 98-226, proposing amendments to
Chapter 21, Revised Ordinances of Honolulu 1990, relating to
zoning of adult establishments.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this
resolution from one individual.  

     Your Committee finds that in mixed business/residential
areas, businesses that do not fit in with the surrounding
neighborhood can severely downgrade the quality of life for the
community.  This issue affects many neighborhoods, not only
McCully, and the legislature may wish to consider expanding the
scope of the resolution.  

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land Use that is attached to this report,
your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No.
47, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on
Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Water and Land
