Carports in Waipahu are capped at 20 by 20 feet horizontally. Hillside Type V-B carports may exceed one story under specified conditions, though most Waipahu lots are relatively flat.
ROH Sec. 21-2.140-1 limits carport and garage horizontal dimensions to 20 feet by 20 feet. Type V-B carports on hillsides may exceed one story where specified structural and setback conditions are met, though most of Waipahu sits on relatively flat plantation land. 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. On small Waipahu lots, corner-visibility and driveway-width rules often become the binding constraint.
Carports exceeding 20 by 20 feet, encroaching on setbacks, or lacking permits may trigger corrective orders from DPP.
