RE: H.B. No. 1806
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2004
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1806, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MILITARY INSTALLATIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require sufficient notice to commanding officers of military installations in the state of:
(1) Proposed zoning changes on lands within 3,000 feet or two miles, depending on the size of the population of the county, of any military installation; and
(2) Any petitions for land-use district boundary amendments for any lands within 3,000 feet or two miles, depending on the size of the population of the county.
The notice will afford military authorities a meaningful opportunity to:
(1) Raise any concerns they may have about urban encroachment on military installations that could adversely affect the operations, effectiveness, and mission of the military installation; and
(2) Participate in any contested case proceedings, as
applicable.
The Department of Defense testified in support of this measure. The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii supported the intent of this measure. The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii opposed this measure. The Land Use Commission offered comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1806, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land Use, and Hawaiian Affairs,
