A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
Significant planning and public outreach has occurred on specific projects to revitalize many areas of the State. One such area is the land under the jurisdiction of the stadium authority and the department of accounting and general services.
The legislature finds that redevelopment of lands under the jurisdiction of the stadium authority and the department of accounting and general services could benefit from the Hawaii community development authority administering such a project.
The legislature further finds that, as significant public outreach and studies have already occurred, a stadium development district may be formed that is exempt from requirements of chapter 206E-5, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The legislature seeks to ensure continued public participation in this project by requiring decisions regarding the project that may have a significant impact on the community or environment to be made by the stadium authority at a public meeting.
The purpose of this Act is to establish the stadium development district, which includes all state property under the jurisdiction of the stadium authority, under the jurisdiction of the Hawaii community development authority to expedite the redevelopment of Aloha stadium and the property around it to bring economic development to an area that is in need of renewal, renovation, and improvement.
SECTION 2. Chapter 109, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§109- Lease restrictions; generally. (a) Except as otherwise provided, the following restrictions shall apply to all leases within the stadium development district:
(1) Options for renewal of terms are prohibited;
(2) No lease shall be for a term longer than ninety-nine years;
(3) No lease shall be made to any person who is in arrears in the payment of taxes, rents, or other obligations owing the State or any county;
(4) No lease shall be transferable or assignable, except by devise, bequest, or intestate succession; provided that with the approval of the stadium authority, the assignment and transfer of a lease or unit thereof may be made in accordance with current industry standards, as determined by the authority; provided further that prior to the approval of any assignment of lease, the authority shall have the right to review and approve the consideration to be paid by the assignee and may condition its consent to the assignment of the lease on payment by the lessee of a premium based on the amount by which the consideration for the assignment, whether by cash, credit, or otherwise, exceeds the depreciated cost of improvements and trade fixtures being transferred to the assignee; provided further that in the event of foreclosure or sale, the premium, if any, shall be assessed only after the encumbrances of record and any other advances made by the holder of a security interest are paid;
(5) The lessee shall not sublet the whole or any part of the demised premises except with the approval of the authority; provided that prior to the approval, the authority shall have the right to review and approve the rent to be charged to the sublessee; provided further that in the case where the lessee is required to pay rent based on a percentage of its gross receipts, the receipts of the sublessee shall be included as part of the lessee's gross receipts; provided further that the authority shall have the right to review and, if necessary, revise the rent of the demised premises based upon the rental rate charged to the sublessee including the percentage rent, if applicable, and provided that the rent may not be revised downward;
(6) The lease shall be for a specific use or uses and shall not include waste lands, unless it is impractical to provide otherwise; and
(7) Mineral and metallic rights and surface and ground water shall be reserved to the State.
(b) The stadium authority, from time to time, upon the issuance or during the term of any lease, may:
(1) Modify or eliminate any of the restrictions specified in subsection (a);
(2) Extend the term of the lease, to the extent necessary to qualify the lease for mortgage lending or guaranty purposes with any federal mortgage lending agency, to qualify the lessee for any state or private lending institution loan, private loan guaranteed by the State, or loan in which the State and any private lender participates, or to amortize the cost of substantial improvements to the demised premises that are paid for by the lessee without institutional financing, such extension being based on the economic life of the improvements as determined by the authority or an independent appraiser; provided that the approval of any extension shall be subject to the following:
(A) The demised premises have been used substantially for the purpose for which they were originally leased;
(B) The aggregate of the initial term and any extension granted shall not be for more than ninety-nine years;
(C) In the event of a reopening, the rental for any ensuing period shall be the fair market rental at the time of reopening;
(D) Any federal or private lending institution shall be qualified to do business in the State;
(E) Proceeds of any mortgage or loan shall be used solely for the operations or improvements on the demised premises;
(F) Where improvements are financed by the lessee, the lessee shall submit receipts of expenditures within a time period specified by the authority, otherwise the lease extension shall be canceled; and
(G) The rules of the authority, setting forth any additional terms and conditions, which shall ensure and promote the purposes of the demised lands.
(c) The stadium authority at any time during the term of any lease and when justified by sound economic practices or other circumstances, may permit an alternative use or uses for any portion or portions of the land demised.

(2) Consent of each holder of record having a security interest in the leasehold; and
(3) A finding by the authority that the alternative use or uses are in the public interest.
(d) The stadium authority, from time to time, during the term of any lease, may modify or eliminate any of the restrictions specified in subsection (a) or extend, terminate, or modify the term of the lease upon a showing of significant economic hardship directly caused by:
(1) State disaster, pursuant to chapter 209, including seismic or tidal wave, tsunami, hurricane, volcanic eruption, typhoon, earthquake, flood, or severe drought; or
(2) A taking of a portion of the area of the lease by government action by eminent domain, withdrawal, or conservation easement; provided that the portion taken shall not be less than ten per cent of the entire leased area unless otherwise approved by the authority; provided further that the authority determines that the lessee will not be adequately compensated pursuant to the lease provisions.
(e) The approval of any extension granted pursuant to subsection (d) shall be subject to the following:
(1) The demised premises have been used substantially for the purposes for which they were originally leased;
(2) The aggregate of the initial term and any extension granted shall not be for more than ninety-nine years;
(3) The rental shall not be less than the rental for the preceding term;
(4) The rules of the authority, setting forth any additional terms and conditions which shall ensure and promote the purposes of the demised lands; and
(5) The length of the extension shall not exceed a reasonable length of time for the purpose of providing relief and shall in no case exceed five years."

The stadium authority has considered repairing, upgrading, and replacing the existing facility to optimize the public's enjoyment and ensure public safety. Redeveloping, renovating, or improving these public lands in a manner that will provide suitable recreational, residential, educational, and commercial areas where the public can live, congregate, recreate, attend schools, and shop as part of a thoughtfully integrated experience, is in the best interests of the State and its people.

The legislature finds that extensive planning for the redevelopment of the aloha stadium property has already occurred and the project must move quickly to the implementation phase.
The legislature further finds that proper execution of a mixed-use redevelopment of Aloha Stadium may result in sufficient revenue to maintain the stadium and its environs without any additional cost to taxpayers.
