HRS §508C-6
Environmental covenants cannot override other land use rules
This section says an environmental covenant cannot make a property use legal if zoning, other laws, or a higher-priority recorded document already ban it. But the covenant itself can add extra bans or limits on uses that are otherwise allowed.

The statute, as written — Relationship to other land use law
This chapter shall not authorize a use of real property that is otherwise prohibited by zoning, by law other than this chapter regulating use of real property, or by a recorded instrument that has priority over the environmental covenant. An environmental covenant may prohibit or restrict uses of real property that are authorized by zoning or by law other than this chapter.
