Kapolei homeowners and businesses need an Urban Forestry permit before trimming street trees along Kapolei Parkway and commercial districts under ROH Sec. 10-1.4.
Kapolei's wide boulevards such as Kapolei Parkway, Kamokila Boulevard, and Farrington Highway feature monkeypod, shower, and coconut palms planted as part of the Second City master plan and ongoing city projects. ROH Sec. 10-1.4 requires a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Urban Forestry for any planting, spraying, trimming, pruning, or removal of street trees in the public right-of-way. Homeowners and shopping center managers near Ka Makana Alii may trim small overhanging private-side limbs but may not cut trunks or public-side branches without a permit. Exceptional trees are regulated separately under ROH Chapter 40, Article 8.
Unpermitted trimming can lead to citation, arborist-assessed damage claims, and replanting orders. Commercial violators near Ka Makana Alii face larger restitution.
