ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 limits Kapolei carports and garages to 20 ft by 20 ft horizontally, with hillside Type V-B carports allowed to exceed one story in specified conditions.
Carports and attached garages in Kapolei may not exceed 20 feet by 20 feet in horizontal dimensions under ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1. A Type V-B carport on a hillside lot may exceed one story where the code's specified conditions are met, which primarily affects makai-leaning slopes and some Honokai Hale and Makakilo-adjacent parcels; the flatter Kapolei core typically stays single story. All carports must also satisfy yard setbacks under Sec. 21-4.30 and height caps under Sec. 21-4.60. Converting a carport into an enclosed garage is a building-permit activity and may need HOA architectural review.
Oversized or setback-encroaching carports can be ordered modified or removed by DPP after inspection.
