                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2100
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2100 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PARKING STRUCTURES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to require enclosure of
parking structures located near residentially-zoned areas and
restrict noise levels.

     Testimony was received in support of this measure from four
citizens.  Testimony in opposition to this measure was received
from the Honolulu Police Department, Healthcare Association of
Hawaii, Estate of James Campbell, and Land Use Research
Foundation of Hawaii.

     Your Committee finds that this measure will help to minimize
unhealthy and stressful conditions caused by motor vehicle
parking by requiring parking structures near residential areas to
be enclosed and by establishing permissible levels of noise
emission for parking structures.   

     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 is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2100 and recommends that it pass
Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
