                                   RE:  S.C.R. No. 50
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Economic Development, to which was
referred S.C.R. No. 50 entitled:

     "SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN UPDATE OF THE
     HONOLULU WATERFRONT MASTER PLAN TO CONSIDER NEW
     OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to request an update of the
Honolulu Waterfront Master Plan to consider new opportunities for
development activities.

     Comments on this measure was submitted by the Hawaii
Community Development Authority (HCDA) and Office of Planning,
Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism
(DBED&T).

     Your Committee finds that before considering new development
opportunities for the waterfront area of Honolulu, an assessment
of current development should be undertaken.  Your Committee also
finds that the appropriate agency to undertake this status report
is the Office of Planning, DBED&T, as the HCDA covers only a
portion of the six-mile waterfront planning area.

     Your Committee has amended this measure to:

     (1)  Change the title to "REQUESTING A STATUS REPORT OF THE
          HONOLULU WATERFRONT MASTER PLAN;

                                   Page 2


     (2)  Add an additional WHEREAS clause stating that before
          these new opportunities can prudently be considered, an
          assessment of the status of the current Waterfront
          Master Plan should be undertaken; and

     (3)  Request the status report be done by the Office of
          Planning, DBED&T, with assistance from HCDA.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Economic Development that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
S.C.R. No. 50, as amended herein, and recommends that it be
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, in the form attached
hereto as S.C.R. No. 50, S.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Economic
                                   Development,



                                   ______________________________
