Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2529, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAZARDOUS LAND,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require each county to:
(1) Inventory all lands within the urban or conservation district or subject to a petition for placement in the urban district, to determine whether they are hazardous land areas;
(2) Adopt standards for urban development in hazardous land areas; and
(3) Enact zoning, subdivision, and building ordinances to implement those standards.
Six concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Department of Planning and Permitting of the City and County of Honolulu, Kamehameha Schools, and three members of the Maui County Council opposed this measure. The Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii provided comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2529, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
