STAND. COM. REP. NO. 4075

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 93

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Transportation and Water and Land, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 93 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO PURCHASE CERTAIN TAX MAP KEY PARCELS TO BE USED FOR ADDITIONAL PARKING AND OTHER COMMUNITY NEEDS, AS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the City and County of Honolulu to purchase certain tax map key parcels to be used for additional parking and other community needs, as deemed necessary by the City and County of Honolulu.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from five individuals.

Your Committees find that the City and County of Honolulu has been experiencing a steady increase in the number of residents and visitors over the past decade, increasing by 6.6 percent from 2010 to 2020. Due to this increase, insufficient outdoor spaces and parking, which was already a problem for residents and visitors, is only exacerbated. Therefore, this measure requests the City and County of Honolulu to purchase certain tax map key parcels for additional parking and other community needs.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Transportation and Water and Land that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 93, and recommend its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Transportation and Water and Land,
