                                   RE:  H.C.R. No. 47
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 47 entitled: 

     "HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE HONOLULU CITY
     COUNCIL TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 98-226, PROPOSING AMENDMENTS
     TO CHAPTER 21, REVISED ORDINANCES OF HONOLULU 1990, RELATING
     TO ZONING OF ADULT ESTABLISHMENTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to urge the Honolulu City
Council to adopt Resolution No. 98-226, proposing amendments to
Chapter 21, Revised Ordinances of Honolulu 1990 (ROH), relating
to zoning of adult establishments.  

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this
resolution from two individuals.  

     Your Committee finds that in mixed business/residential
areas, businesses that do not fit in with the surrounding
neighborhood can severely downgrade the quality of life for the
community.  This issue affects many neighborhoods, not only
McCully.  

     Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the
reference to amendments to the City Charter of Honolulu and
substituted a reference to Chapter 21, ROH, for purposes of
clarity and consistency.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent
and purpose of H.C.R. No. 47, as amended herein, and recommends
its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 47,
S.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Transportation
