Hawaii SB806 amends housing development regulations to prioritize transit-oriented zones.

Hawaii SB806 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to prioritize housing projects in transit-oriented development zones. These zones, located within a certain distance of a transit station, are designed to encourage sustainable living. The bill exempts these housing projects from certain statutes, ordinances, and rules to expedite development. It also requires these projects to meet specific conditions, such as not imposing stricter income requirements than those set by the state and ensuring all units are exclusively for qualified residents.
