Propane storage in Kailua is governed by ROH Chapter 20 via NFPA 1 Chapter 69, which references NFPA 58 (LP-Gas Code). Permits from HFD are required for installation and substantive modification (NFPA 1 Sec. 69.1.2). Any single container, or aggregated containers, with a water capacity of 125 gallons or more must be submitted to the AHJ for plan review, including setback diagrams. Cylinders exposed to vehicular traffic within 10 feet of a public way need bollards or other vehicular impact protection. Cylinders must be upright, secured, ventilated, and kept away from ignition sources. Short-term vacation rentals with gas grills need to limit cylinder sizes per NFPA 58 residential rules.
Unpermitted installations or unsafe storage can lead to red-tag shutdowns, citations under Chapter 20, and denial of occupancy certificates.
