Residential zones in East Honolulu strictly limit home-business signage under ROH Chapter 21, Article 7. Home occupations typically permit only a small nameplate identifying the resident.
Article 7 of the Land Use Ordinance is the master sign code, and Sec. 21-7.30 lists prohibited signs. Home occupations in East Honolulu must incorporate the residential sign restrictions referenced in Sec. 21-5.350. Illuminated signs, flashing signs, off-premises signs, and signs advertising services or products visible from the street are prohibited in residential districts. Nameplate signs identifying the occupant or profession are generally the only permissible sign. Homes near shoreline view corridors in Hawaii Kai also face special view-plane considerations that may affect any structure, including signs.
Installing illuminated or oversized signs, or any advertising visible to the public, violates Article 7 and may lead to removal orders and fines.
