Urban Honolulu imposes replacement through Chapter 40 Article 8 conditions and ROH 10-1.4 street tree permits rather than a single replacement chapter.
Urban Honolulu relies on a layered approach. Replacement obligations for designated exceptional trees are embedded in the protective regulations of Revised Ordinances of Honolulu Chapter 40, Article 8 and Department of Parks and Recreation rules. For street trees lining Kalakaua, Kapiolani, and Ala Moana Boulevard, replacement conditions are attached to permits authorized by §10-1.4. Landscaping and replacement for new development, especially Kakaako mixed-use projects, is handled through Land Use Ordinance landscaping provisions in Chapter 21.
Failure to satisfy replacement conditions can lead to permit revocation, civil fines, and corrective planting orders.
