AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges state and county government entities, including the Governor, the Board of Land and Natural Resources, the Land Use Commission, and various county planning departments, to carefully examine the historical context and original intentions behind land zoning decisions. The resolution emphasizes the need to ensure that lands are managed and maintained in a way that genuinely benefits and protects Native Hawaiian communities, acknowledging the historical injustices they have faced, particularly since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It highlights concerns that the conversion of certain lands, like preservation and agricultural lands, into other uses has led to gentrification and displacement, negatively impacting Native Hawaiians and contributing to housing shortages.
