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. The legislature finds that the "lei of green" concept and guiding principles adopted by the Kaka‘ako makai conceptual master plan and approved by the Hawaii community development authority in 2011 achieve the purpose and goals of chapter 206E, Hawaii Revised Statutes. In particular, this concept "serve[s] the highest needs and aspirations of Hawaii's people".
The legislature gave the Hawaii community development authority powers under section 206E-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to ensure that the Kaka‘ako community development district could be appropriately managed to implement these goals, including but not limited to acquisition and use of lands in Kaka‘ako makai to preserve and maintain the shoreline and parkland. Since 2011, however, the public, residents, and users in the Kaka‘ako community development district have complained that they have had to continuously monitor the Hawaii community development authority's actions, which have been contrary to the intent and direction of the adopted plans, rules, and guiding principles for the makai shoreline. The preservation and maintenance of the shoreline and parkland are critical not only for current residents, but, more importantly, for future generations.
To that end, the legislature further finds that certain designated parcels be preserved as parkland and protected and maintained by the State. Furthermore, public notice on the Hawaii community development authority's procurement actions and leases should be followed, and long-term leases, which were previously authorized, be rescinded as not in the best interest of the fragile makai shoreline conditions.
SECTION 2. Chapter 206E, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§206E- Protection of urban shoreline in Kaka‘ako makai; parkland; shoreline; commercial development; public cultural and education facilities. (a) The authority shall set aside the following parcels as identified by tax map key along the shoreline for the benefit of Hawaii's people as parkland and future park expansion: 1-2-1-058:048; 1-2-1-058:131; 1-2-1-059:024; 1-2-1-059:025; 1-2-1-059:026; 1-2-1-060:007; 1-2-1-060:008; 1-2-1-060:023; 1-2-1-060:027; 1-2-1-060:028; 1-2-1-060:029; and 1-2-1-060:030.
(b) The authority shall allow for easements and setbacks on portions of the following parcels as identified by tax map key for future expansion of the public shoreline promenade for the benefit of Hawaii's people: 1-2-1-015:045; 1-2-1-015:051; 1-2-1-058:048; 1-2-1-058:129; 1-2-1-058:130; 1-2-1-058:131; 1-2-1-060:027; 1-2-1-060:028; 1-2-1-058:061; and 1-2-1-058:127.
(c) The authority shall allow for commercial development in a park setting on portions of the following parcels as identified by tax map key: 1-2-1-058:043; 1-2-1-058:061; 1-2-1-058:127; 1-2-1-058:129; 1-2-1-058:130; 1-2-1-058:131; and 1-2-1-060:006.
(d) The authority shall allow for public cultural and educational facilities in a park setting on the following parcels as identified by tax map key: 1-2-1-058:130; 1-2-1-060:008; 1-2-1-060:017; 1-2-1-060:025; and 1-2-1-060:026."
SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2015.
