HI SR30

Requests the Hawaii Public Housing Authority and Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation to create a master plan to redevelop Kukui Gardens (389 units) and Mayor Wright Homes (363 units) in Honolulu's Palama area.

Master plan should include mixed-use commercial and residential development, market-rate housing, and low- to moderate-income affordable housing units, utilizing state-owned properties including a strip of land on Liliha Street.

Redevelopment plan should take advantage of the A-2 zoning district (allowing up to 150-foot building heights) and proximity to a planned rail transit stop on Dillingham Boulevard.

Directs the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to submit findings and recommendations report to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the start of the 2014 Regular Session.

Addresses Hawaii's shortage of affordable housing, noting 11,603 families on the waiting list for federal public housing and 8,173 families on the waiting list for state public housing as of January 4, 2013.
