Carports and garages in Ewa Gentry are limited to 20 ft by 20 ft in horizontal dimensions under ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1, with height and setback standards from Sec. 21-4.30 and 21-4.60 also applying.
ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 sets the maximum horizontal dimensions of a carport or attached garage at 20 feet by 20 feet. A Type V-B carport built on a hillside lot may exceed one story under specified conditions. Because most Ewa Gentry lots are relatively flat Ewa Plain terrain, the single-story limit usually applies. Carports and garages must also satisfy the yard setbacks in ROH Sec. 21-4.30 and the height limits in Sec. 21-4.60. Homeowners planning to enclose an existing carport into a garage should note that this is a building-permit activity and may reduce required open yard area.
Oversized carports or carports placed within required yards can be cited, and unpermitted enclosures can be ordered removed.
