ROH Sec. 21-4.60 sets maximum building heights and building envelope planes for Ewa Gentry, with district-specific limits usually capping homes at 25 to 30 feet in residential zones.
Structure height in Ewa Gentry is defined both by an absolute height cap and by sloped building envelope planes that start from each side yard. Most Ewa Gentry lots are zoned low-density residential, yielding an envelope plane that limits tall second stories close to the property line. Chimneys, solar equipment, and small rooftop features may be allowed above the cap under limited exceptions. Homeowners planning additions should calculate both the absolute height and envelope compliance early in design, since envelope violations are a common cause of plan-check resubmittal.
Plan check rejection, redesign costs, and fines where a structure is built beyond the allowed height envelope.
