Pearl City residential districts severely limit home-business signage under ROH Chapter 21, Article 7. Only minimal nameplate signs identifying the resident are typically permitted.
Article 7 of the Land Use Ordinance restricts commercial advertising in residential zones. Sec. 21-7.30 enumerates prohibited signs, including flashing, portable, and off-premises advertising. Home occupations incorporate the residential sign restrictions by reference. For Pearl City residents near the Kamehameha Highway corridor or along Moanalua Road, signs visible to passing traffic are especially restricted. Only small nameplate signs identifying the resident or professional practitioner are generally allowed. Any larger sign or illuminated display would require rezoning or a variance, which is rarely granted in residential districts.
Installing illuminated, oversized, or advertising signs in residential zones can result in removal orders and continuing violation penalties.
