Ewa Gentry projects near the leeward coastline may fall within a Special Management Area regulated by ROH Chapter 25, implementing HRS Chapter 205A coastal zone management.
Chapter 25 implements the state Coastal Zone Management Act for the City and County of Honolulu. It covers SMA major permits in Sec. 25-5.3, SMA minor permits in Sec. 25-5.2, shoreline setback variances, and definitions in Sec. 25-1.3. State-level authority sits at HRS 205A Part III. While most Ewa Gentry residential interior lots are inland of the SMA, projects on the Ewa Beach side or along drainage corridors that reach the coast may trigger SMA review. Applicants must demonstrate consistency with coastal zone objectives before development can proceed.
Starting development within an SMA without the correct major or minor permit can lead to enforcement actions, monetary penalties, and required restoration.
