Kaneohe FAQ

Do I need a stall per bedroom?

DPP typically expects one stall per bedroom for B&Bs under Sec. 21-5.730 parking plan review.

Can guests park on Kam Highway?

Kamehameha Highway has strict no-parking zones and guest vehicles will be towed.

Waipahu FAQ

What if I have only one stall?

Your max occupancy and parking plan must reflect realistic vehicle counts. One stall typically supports a small-bedroom unit; larger units likely cannot register.

Can guests use my neighbor's driveway?

Only with written consent, and even then not if it blocks fire access. Shared plantation driveways have complex easement rules in older Waipahu neighborhoods.
