RE: S.C.R. No. 119
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred
S.C.R. No. 119 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE COMMISSION
TO DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED LAND USE PLAN,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Office of Planning and Sustainable Development and Land Use
Commission to develop an integrated land use plan.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, Hawai‘i
Farm Bureau, and one individual.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Agriculture and Land Use Commission.
Your Committee finds that there are various, sometimes-
competing state plans, goals, and objectives regarding land use in
the State, including the need for land to increase food
sustainability, promote renewable energy resources, address the
shortage of affordable housing, and adapt to and mitigate sea
level rise and climate change. Your Committee further finds that
an integrated land use plan would help to address these sometimes
conflicting plans, particularly with respect to agriculture.

energy, and housing. Your Committee believes that the creation of
an integrated land use plan to guide the State's planning and
decision-making on agriculture, energy, and housing will benefit
the State.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Inserting language requesting the State Sustainability
Coordinator to lead the development of the integrated
land use plan;

and Sustainable Development and Land Use Commission are
requested to submit the integrated land use plan from
December 1, 2024, to December 1, 2026;
(3) Inserting language requesting the Office of Planning and
Sustainable Development to report on the progress of the
integrated land use plan and the progress of data-based
estimates to achieve this measure's objectives to the
Legislature and Land Use Commission by December 1, 2025;
(4) Inserting language requesting the Office of Planning and
Sustainable Development to update and report on the
integrated land use study to the Legislature and Land
Use Commission every five years;
(5) Inserting language requesting an amendment to the state
budget to appropriate $500,000 to the Office of Planning
and Sustainable Development for the necessary resources
to conduct the integrated land use study; and
(6) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the
purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 119,
as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form
