Waipahu residential zones strictly limit home-business signage under ROH Chapter 21, Article 7. Only nameplate signs identifying the resident are generally allowed, with no commercial advertising.
Article 7 of the Land Use Ordinance regulates signs across all zoning districts. Sec. 21-7.30 prohibits flashing, portable, and off-premises signs. Home occupations incorporate residential sign limits by reference under Sec. 21-5.350. Waipahu's dense plantation blocks and proximity to the Farrington Highway commercial corridor can make any residential signage appear out of character. The only sign typically permitted for a home occupation is a small nameplate identifying the resident or professional practitioner. Visible advertising, illuminated window signs, or banners facing the street are not permitted.
Displaying illuminated, oversized, or advertising signs at a residential home occupation can result in removal orders and continuing violation fines.
