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. Section 206E-33, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§206E-33 Kakaako community development district; development guidance policies. The following shall be the development guidance policies generally governing the authority's action in the Kakaako community development district:
(1) Development shall result in a community [which]
that permits an appropriate land mixture of residential, commercial,
industrial, and other uses. In view of the innovative nature of the mixed use
approach, urban design policies should be established to provide guidelines for
the public and private sectors in the proper development of this district;
while the authority's development responsibilities apply only to the area
within the district, the authority may engage in any studies or coordinative
activities permitted in this chapter [which] that affect areas
lying outside the district, where the authority in its discretion decides that
those activities are necessary to implement the intent of this chapter. The
studies or coordinative activities shall be limited to facility systems,
resident and industrial relocation, and other activities with the counties and
appropriate state agencies. The authority may engage in construction
activities outside of the district; provided that [such] the
construction relates to infrastructure development or residential or business
relocation activities; provided further, notwithstanding section 206E-7, that [such]
the construction shall comply with the general plan, development plan,
ordinances, and rules of the county in which the district is located;
(2) Existing and future industrial uses shall be
permitted and encouraged in appropriate locations within the district. No plan
or implementation strategy shall prevent continued activity or redevelopment of
industrial and commercial uses [which] that meet reasonable
performance standards;
(3) Activities shall be located so as to provide primary reliance on public transportation and pedestrian facilities for internal circulation within the district or designated subareas;
(4) Major view planes, view corridors, and other environmental elements such as natural light and prevailing winds, shall be preserved through necessary regulation and design review; provided that no portion of any building or structure in the Kakaako Mauka area shall exceed four hundred eighteen feet in height;
(5) Redevelopment of the district shall be compatible with plans and special districts established for the Hawaii Capital District, and other areas surrounding the Kakaako district;
(6) Historic sites and culturally significant facilities, settings, or locations shall be preserved;
(7) Land use activities within the district, where compatible, shall to the greatest possible extent be mixed horizontally, that is, within blocks or other land areas, and vertically, as integral units of multi-purpose structures;
(8) Residential development may require a mixture of
densities, building types, and configurations in accordance with appropriate
urban design guidelines; integration both vertically and horizontally of
residents of varying incomes, ages, and family groups; and an increased supply
of housing for residents of low- or moderate-income may be required as a
condition of redevelopment in residential use. Residential development shall
provide necessary community facilities, such as open space, parks, community
meeting places, child care centers, and other services, within and adjacent to
residential development; [and]
(9) Public facilities within the district shall be
planned, located, and developed so as to support the redevelopment policies for
the district established by this chapter and plans and rules adopted pursuant
to it[.]; and
(10) The authority shall not approve a land owner's or developer's:
(A) Community development plan;
(B) Updated, amended, modified, or revised community development plan; or
(C) Permit application,
unless the authority executes a memorandum of understanding with the owner and developer of the land that is the subject of the community development plan or permit, in which all parties to the memorandum acknowledge the ownership of each public street or highway that is adjacent to the land that is the subject of the community development plan or permit; provided that the authority shall accept ownership of any public street or highway for which ownership is disputed."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
