HI HCR122

Requests all four counties to amend or adopt ordinances allowing religious institutions, educational institutions, and medical institutions to construct residential units on parcels within the state urban land use district and zoned for residential or commercial use.

Limits residential development on these institutional properties to less than fifteen acres and no greater than fifty percent of the parcel area.

Requires that any residential units developed on institutional property be retained by the institution as long as the institution remains in existence.

Defines eligible institutions as those granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or nonprofit corporations operating exclusively for hospital, medical, research, therapeutic, or educational services; religious institutions must not restrict membership based on race, color, or ancestry.

Directs counties to clarify that the ordinance is not intended to allow developers to create institutions solely to circumvent normal development processes.
