Kapolei tree replacement obligations derive from ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 for Exceptional Trees, ROH §10-1.4 for street trees, and Land Use Ordinance landscaping standards for commercial sites and subdivisions.
Honolulu has no single citywide replacement ordinance. For Exceptional Trees, replacement is imposed through ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 regulations and DPR permit conditions when alteration or removal is permitted. Street trees removed under ROH §10-1.4 must generally be replaced at the permit holder's expense with species approved by the Department of Facility Maintenance. LUO landscaping provisions in ROH Title 21 set minimum tree-count and parking-lot canopy standards for commercial projects at Ka Makana Alii, UH West Oahu, and new Kapolei subdivisions under DPP review.
Failure to replace trees per permit conditions can result in civil fines, permit revocation, and billed replacement costs.
