Mililani Mauka sits well inland of the shoreline and is generally outside Special Management Area boundaries, though ROH Chapter 25 still governs any SMA work elsewhere on Oahu.
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, with state authority at HRS 205A Part III. Because Mililani Mauka sits on the central plateau well inland of the coast, residential parcels there are typically outside SMA boundaries. However, residents who own or develop coastal property elsewhere on Oahu, such as in Waianae or Haleiwa, must follow Chapter 25 for that project. Always confirm SMA status before starting coastal work.
Developing within a coastal SMA elsewhere without the right permit can trigger enforcement, monetary penalties, and required site restoration.
