Bill Summary
Prohibits any law, ordinance, or rule from imposing an inclusionary zoning requirement on housing offered exclusively for sale or rent in perpetuity to buyers or renters who are residents of the State, are owner-occupants or renters, and do not own any other real property. (SD1)
AI Summary
This bill prohibits any law, ordinance, or rule from requiring that a portion of housing developments be sold or rented at below-market prices, a practice known as "inclusionary zoning," if that housing is exclusively offered in perpetuity to buyers or renters who are residents of the State, will live in the property themselves (as owner-occupants or renters), and do not own any other real property. The bill aims to address Hawaii's affordable housing shortage, which is driving local families away and allowing wealthy out-of-state buyers to purchase available housing, thus "pricing out" residents.
