STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1808-12

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   S.C.R. No. 111

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 111, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO PRESERVE EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CREATE NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES, FAMILY-ORIENTED SUPPORT SERVICES, HEALTH CENTERS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, RETAIL SERVICES RELATED TO HEALTHY LIVING, AND COMMUNITY GARDENS WITHIN TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT ZONES ALONG THE HONOLULU RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT CORRIDOR,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to encourage the preservation and creation of affordable housing, family-oriented support service, health centers, community centers, retail services related to healthy living, and community gardens within transit-oriented development zones along the Honolulu Rail Transit Project corridor.

 

     The City and County of Honolulu Department of Planning and Permitting and The Pacific Resource Partnership supported the measure.

 

     Your committee finds that the preservation and expansion of affordable housing within the transit-oriented development (TOD) zones will create more economically vibrant and socially equitable communities. Your committee also finds that the creation of a community infrastructure providing support services for children and elders, to include child care and adult care, within the TOD zones will encourage the formation of more family oriented communities.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 111, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committees on Housing and Water, Land, & Ocean Resources.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
