Kapolei handles light trespass through LUO shielding requirements and master-planned subdivision rules rather than a specific foot-candle property-line ordinance.
LUO Sec. 21-4.100 remains the principal light trespass tool for Kapolei by requiring full cut-off fixtures that eliminate direct illumination onto neighboring residential and other sensitive districts. Honolulu has not adopted a standalone foot-candle threshold chapter. Master-planned subdivision design rules and commercial association standards in Kapolei typically regulate exterior lighting height, aiming, color temperature, and operating hours. ROH 41 public nuisance provisions serve as a backstop when lighting substantially interferes with neighboring use and enjoyment.
