A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to the hawaii community development Authority.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. In 2006, the legislature enacted Act 317, Session Laws of Hawaii 2006, that, in part, prohibits the Hawaii community development authority from selling or assigning the fee simple interest in any lands in the Kakaako community development district, except for certain specified uses or reasons. Act 317 also prohibits the approval of any plan or proposal for any residential development in the Kakaako makai area of the Kakaako community development district.
In that same year, the legislature also adopted House Concurrent Resolution No. 30, S.D. 1, urging the authority to immediately rescind both its request for proposals and any contract or agreement awarded or commitment made to Alexander & Baldwin Properties, Inc., for the development of Kakaako makai. The concurrent resolution also urged the authority to immediately convene a working group of interested stakeholders to meaningfully participate in the development, acceptance, and implementation of any future plans for the development of Kakaako makai. These measures were adopted by the legislature as a result of the public's strong opposition to the project submitted by Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.
The purpose of this Act is to ensure that the master plan for Kakaako makai remains a product of the community-based planning process founded on the community's vision and guiding principles developed in 2008 by the collaborative working group of interested stakeholders representing the public interest for the development, acceptance, and implementation of any future plans for the development of the Kakaako makai area of the Kakaako community development district.
SECTION 2. Section 206E-35, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"[[]§206E-35[]]
Kakaako makai; plan. In developing, accepting, and implementing any plans
for the development of the Kakaako makai area within the Kakaako community
development district, the authority shall [collaborate]:
(1) Collaborate with and consider the
recommendations of the Kakaako makai community planning advisory council,
established pursuant to house concurrent resolution no. 30, regular session of
2006, and organized in 2007. Any transfer of property in the Kakaako makai
area within the Kakaako community development district to any state or county
agency shall be upon the condition that the agency shall be required to
collaborate with and consider the recommendations of the Kakaako makai
community planning advisory council in the development, acceptance, and
implementation of any plan for the transferred property[.]; and
(2) Ensure that the master plan for Kakaako makai, including any amendments of the plan, remain a product of the community-based planning process founded on the vision and guiding principles developed in 2008 by the Kakaako makai community planning advisory council representing the public interest for the development, acceptance, and implementation of any future plans for the development of the Kakaako makai area of the Kakaako community development district.
As used in this section, "Kakaako makai" means the area within the Kakaako community development district that is from the east side of Kewalo basin at the ewa wall of Ala Moana Park, to Forrest Avenue, and from Ala Moana Boulevard to the ocean."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
