Carports in East Honolulu are limited to 20 by 20 feet in horizontal dimensions. Hillside carports of Type V-B construction may exceed one story under specified conditions, reflecting Hawaii Kai's sloping terrain.
ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 sets carport and garage dimensional standards: maximum horizontal dimensions of 20 feet by 20 feet. Type V-B carports on hillsides may exceed one story where specific structural and setback conditions are met, which is relevant for many steeply sloped Hawaii Kai lots. Carports must also observe setback rules in Sec. 21-4.30 and height limits in Sec. 21-4.60. Permits from DPP are required for new carports, and structural review is typical on hillside parcels. Homeowners should verify lot slope before design.
Building a carport exceeding 20 by 20 feet, violating setbacks, or constructing a multi-story hillside carport without meeting specified conditions can trigger corrective orders.
