Bill Summary

RESOLUTION URGING ALL STATE AND COUNTY AGENCIES TO FOLLOW THE TRUE INTENT OF CHAPTER 201H, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, AND THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF SECTION 201H-38, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES, RATHER THAN IMPOSE ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND PROCESSES, TO ADDRESS THE SHORTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN HAWAII. .

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges all state and county agencies in Hawaii to adhere to the original purpose and specific rules of Chapter 201H of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) and Section 201H-38, HRS, when developing affordable housing, instead of adding extra requirements or procedures that hinder progress. Chapter 201H, HRS, establishes the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) and grants it broad powers to create affordable housing. Section 201H-38, HRS, specifically allows qualifying affordable housing projects to be exempt from various local laws and regulations related to planning, zoning, and construction standards, provided they meet certain criteria and safety standards, to help address Hawaii's severe housing shortage and high cost of living.
