Ewa Gentry has no specific Honolulu ordinance regulating artificial turf; LUO Sec. 21-4.70 governs whether synthetic turf counts toward landscape area.
No Honolulu ordinance specifically bans or permits artificial turf on private Ewa Gentry lots. LUO Sec. 21-4.70 sets landscape and screening requirements in zoning districts, and whether synthetic turf satisfies those landscape area minimums depends on Department of Planning and Permitting interpretation, often treating turf as a non-living cover that may not fully count. For Gentry homeowners, the practical limits are HOA design review and heat concerns on the dry Ewa Plain, where synthetic turf can reach very high surface temperatures in afternoon sun. There is no specific synthetic-turf permit or ban in ROH for Ewa Gentry.
No ordinance penalties for private turf. Projects that fall short of LUO landscape area requirements can be denied permits or required to add living plantings.
