Pearl City industrial and commercial noise sources follow ROH Chapter 41 Article 6 and state HAR 11-46 dBA limits, protecting adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Pearl City has active commercial corridors along Kamehameha Highway and light-industrial pockets between the H-1 and the former Navy Pearl City Peninsula areas. ROH Chapter 41 Article 6 (Sections 41-6.1 through 41-6.5) establishes local prohibited-noise standards, and state HAR 11-46 sets maximum permissible dBA by zoning class. Pearl City apartment and single-family residential areas are Class A, subject to the strictest limits at the receiving property line. DOH handles dBA exceedances through administrative orders; HPD enforces plainly-audible prohibited noise under the city rule.
DOH may impose abatement orders and fines for HAR 11-46 dBA violations. HPD citations can also issue for plainly-audible prohibited noise affecting Pearl City homes.
