Kapolei has no specific Honolulu ordinance on artificial turf; LUO Sec. 21-4.70 governs whether synthetic turf counts toward required landscape area.
No Honolulu ordinance bans or permits artificial turf on private Kapolei lots or commercial properties. LUO Sec. 21-4.70 sets landscape and screening requirements in zoning districts, and whether synthetic turf satisfies landscape area minimums depends on Department of Planning and Permitting interpretation, often treating it as a non-living cover that may not fully count. For Kapolei homes in master-planned subdivisions and mixed-use complexes near Ka Makana Alii, HOA design review and commercial landscape plans typically drive turf decisions. The Second City's strong sun and heat can also make synthetic turf surfaces extremely hot in the afternoon.
No ordinance penalties apply to private Kapolei turf use. Commercial projects can be denied permits if LUO landscape area minimums are not otherwise satisfied.
