Mililani Mauka landscape designs may substitute native Hawaiian species for standard street trees under LUO Sec. 21-4.70; no mandatory native-only rule applies.
Mililani Mauka's upper plateau climate supports a mix of natives like aalii, ohia, koa, and naio alongside typical subdivision shower and plumeria plantings. LUO Sec. 21-4.70 governs landscape and screening requirements in zoning districts and permits native Hawaiian species as substitutes for standard street tree species. There is no mandatory native-plant-only rule for private Mauka yards. The Mililani Mauka Community Association design review generally accepts native species that match the approved palette, and the Board of Water Supply Xeriscape Program plus the Oahu Planting Guide provide voluntary guidance for lower-water landscapes suited to the Central Oahu plateau.
No penalties apply for voluntary native landscaping. Mauka projects that miss LUO landscape area minimums can be denied permits or required to add plantings.
