Bill Summary
Requires the Hawaii Community Development Authority to prepare environmental impact statements for the Iwilei/Kapalama and University of Hawaii West Oahu transit-oriented development infrastructure improvement districts on the island of Oahu. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill requires the Hawaii Community Development Authority (HCDA) to prepare comprehensive environmental impact statements (EIS) for two specific transit-oriented development infrastructure improvement districts on the island of Oahu: the Iwilei/Kapalama district and the University of Hawaii West Oahu district. Beyond standard EIS requirements under Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 343, these environmental impact statements must specifically analyze the effects of two key aspects: (1) necessary infrastructure improvements within each district, and (2) potential development to the maximum extent of the entire zoned capacity of each district. The bill defines "environmental impact statement" and "transit-oriented development infrastructure improvement district" by referencing existing statutory definitions, ensuring clarity and consistency with current legal frameworks. The legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 3000 (which appears to be a placeholder date), and aims to provide a thorough assessment of potential environmental implications for these significant development areas on Oahu.
