Ewa Gentry relies on LUO shielding rules and Gentry subdivision architectural standards instead of a specific foot-candle ordinance to address light trespass between lots.
LUO Sec. 21-4.100 remains the primary light trespass control for Ewa Gentry by requiring full cut-off fixtures that eliminate direct illumination onto residential and other sensitive districts. Honolulu has not adopted a standalone chapter with foot-candle thresholds at property lines. Gentry Homes subdivisions enforce architectural rules on exterior lighting height, aiming, and color temperature through their design review processes. ROH 41 public nuisance provisions serve as a backstop when lighting substantially interferes with a neighbor's enjoyment of their home.
DPP enforcement actions, HOA architectural committee remedies, and private nuisance litigation in egregious cases.
