ROH Sec. 21-4.30 is the primary setback rule for Ewa Gentry lots, establishing minimum front, side, and rear yards plus street setbacks keyed to each residential zoning district.
Ewa Gentry's residential lots are governed by the Land Use Ordinance setback scheme. ROH 21-4.30 sets baseline yard rules across districts, while 21-3.70-1 applies district-specific minimums for Gentry's typical R-5 and R-3.5 zoning. Street setbacks are measured from the edge of the right-of-way rather than the curb, and encroachments such as eaves, porches, and air-conditioning units are only permitted within limited allowances. The DPP enforces these standards at plan check, so additions and ADUs must be carefully measured before filing for a permit.
Plan check denials, stop-work orders, fines, and orders to remove encroaching structures.
