Carports in Pearl City are limited to 20 by 20 feet in horizontal dimensions. Hillside carports of Type V-B construction may exceed one story under specified conditions along Pearl City's sloped upper streets.
ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 caps carport and garage dimensions at 20 feet by 20 feet horizontally. Type V-B carports on hillsides may exceed one story where specified structural and setback conditions are met, which matters for Pearl City's uphill neighborhoods overlooking Pearl Harbor. Carports must also comply with setback rules in Sec. 21-4.30 and height limits in Sec. 21-4.60. A DPP building permit is required for new carports. Structural review is common on hillside parcels. Homeowners should verify lot grade before designing a carport.
Oversized carports, setback encroachments, or unpermitted multi-story hillside carports may result in corrective orders and fines.
