HCR 115 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, HAWAII HOUSING FINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, AND THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, TO CONDUCT AN ASSESSMENT OF PROJECTED MAXIMUM INFRASTRUCTURE CAPACITY AROUND TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AREAS WITHIN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU.

This bill requests the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development to work with state and local agencies to evaluate how much infrastructure capacity exists around transit-oriented development areas in Honolulu. The assessment will focus on sewer and water systems to determine if current infrastructure can support future growth in neighborhoods near transit stations. The resolution directs the report to be shared with city officials, housing authorities, and transit planners to inform future development decisions. This measure aims to ensure that infrastructure upgrades are planned alongside new construction in areas designated for mixed-use neighborhoods near public transportation.
