TWENTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE, 2015

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

Relating to a mixed-use residential project.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that there are underutilized parcels of State land in the urban core of Honolulu that could be developed into mixed-use residential projects providing space for government offices, social services, and affordable rental housing.  902 Alder street, Honolulu, Oahu, currently set aside by executive order to the juvenile court of the first circuit, is one such parcel.

     The legislature further finds that the judiciary and the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation have entered into a memorandum of agreement to develop a mixed-use residential project that includes a juvenile services center which would be integrated with an affordable rental housing project for working families at 902 Alder street.  The workforce housing component of the mixed-use project will provide approximately 180 units for lower-income families.

     The legislature finds that this mixed-use residential project could serve as a model for future development of underutilized State land and demonstrates how multiple public purposes can be achieved through joint cooperative agreements between state entities.

     The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to finance the planning, design, and construction of the juvenile services center portion of the judiciary and Hawaii housing finance and development corporation's mixed use residential project at 902 Alder street, Oahu.

     SECTION 2.  The director of finance is authorized to issue general obligation bonds in the sum of $25,200,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary is appropriated for fiscal year 2015-2016 for the purpose of planning, designing, and constructing a mixed use residential project including a juvenile services center on state land currently set aside by executive order to the juvenile court of the first circuit and located at 902 Alder street, Honolulu, Oahu, as follows:

902 Alder street, Honolulu, Oahu

Plans, design, and construction for a mixed use residential project that includes a juvenile services center to be integrated with an affordable rental housing project for working families.

     Plans                                   $100,000

     Design                                $1,600,000

     Construction                         $23,500,000

     Total funding                        $25,200,000

     The sum appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation for the purposes of this Act.

     SECTION 3.  The appropriation made for the capital improvement project authorized by this Act shall not lapse at the end of the fiscal biennium for which the appropriation is made; provided that all moneys from the appropriation unencumbered as of June 30, 2018, shall lapse as of that date.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2015.
