Kaneohe carports must comply with city-wide dimension limits of 20 by 20 feet and setback and height rules, with hillside exceptions for Type V-B construction.
ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 caps carport and garage horizontal dimensions at 20 feet by 20 feet across Honolulu. On hillside lots, a Type V-B carport may exceed one story under specified conditions, which can apply to elevated Kaneohe parcels in Haiku, Temple Valley, and Kahaluu-adjacent hillside sites. Setbacks under Sec. 21-4.30 and height limits under Sec. 21-4.60 apply in addition to the dimensional rule. Enclosing a carport for habitation typically triggers ADU regulations under Sec. 21-5.720.
Oversized carports, setback encroachments, and unpermitted enclosures may require modification or removal and incur fines.
