The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Block size
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
Blocks shall not exceed two tiers or lots in width and eighteen hundred feet in length,
except blocks adjacent to arterial streets or unless the previous adjacent layout
or topographical conditions justify a variation. Blocks shall not be less than four
hundred feet in length. Long blocks shall be provided adjacent to arterial streets
to reduce the number of intersections. The recommended minimum distance between intersections
on arterial streets is eighteen hundred feet. Longer blocks shall be used when possible.
The desired length for normal residential blocks is from eight hundred to one thousand
feet. When the layout is such that sewers will be installed or easements for future
sewer lines are provided along rear lot lines, the block should not exceed eight hundred
feet in length.
