STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3185

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.C.R. No. 32

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 32 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FEE SIMPLE SALE OF THE NORTHWEST CORNER PARCEL, KAPOLEI, HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to approve the fee simple sale of the Northwest Corner parcel in Kapolei, Oahu.

 

     Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that the fee simple sale of this parcel to a developer will expedite completion of the Villages of Kapolei master plan by providing land for additional affordable housing.  The subject parcel is vacant and 26.617 acres, located adjacent to the H-1 freeway.  This is the last large, undeveloped portion of the Villages of Kapolei, and it is currently zoned as Business Mixed Use-3, County Business District.  The Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation hopes to select a developer to design, plan, and develop this parcel to include multi-family housing and neighborhood commercial development that is compatible with the existing residential character of the area.  If the sale is approved by the Legislature, the Corporation will use the Request for Proposals procurement method to select a purchaser.  The purpose of the sale of the subject property is to further the Corporation's mission to develop and finance low- and moderate-income housing projects and administer homeownership programs, by developing and selling single family residences in fee simple to qualified residents, which benefits not only the qualified purchasers, but also the State.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Adding information regarding the purpose of the sale of the subject property;

 

     (2)  Adding more information regarding the proposed development of the parcel;

 

     (3)  Including a provision specifying that a copy of the measure was submitted to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the date of the submission, in accordance with section 171-64.7, Hawaii Revised Statutes;

 

     (4)  Clarifying the language in the provision regarding objections to the sale of the parcels; and

 

     (5)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purpose of style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 32, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 32, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, Agriculture, and Hawaiian Affairs,
