RELATING TO HOUSING.

Requires the strategic plan developed by the Hawaii Interagency Council for Transit-oriented Development to require that every development or redevelopment plan for any state property within one-half mile of the Honolulu rail transit system evaluate the suitability for affordable housing based on certain specifications, unless the council determines that housing is not feasible or desirable on a particular property. Allows a developer to build fewer housing units than required at one state parcel if the developer builds additional housing at another state parcel within one-half mile of a rail station to offset the reduction.
