The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Land use maps

A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

(a) The maps on file with the city clerk entitled “Development Plan Land Use Maps for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, City and County of Honolulu”, are adopted and made a part of this development plan. They include an overall map of the Hawaiian Archipelago and eight large-scale maps of the major islands* (including atoll, shoal, or island group) and depict the approximate land boundaries of each entity. All land areas are designated for preservation use. (b) Any land use boundaries which may be established on the maps are not to be considered zoning boundaries, nor are they intended to reflect land use designations by metes and bounds. Therefore, the maps are not a precise graphic delineation of existing or potential future legal uses. They do not confer upon property owners any rights respecting the use of their land that they do not presently enjoy. Flexibility in interpreting the boundaries on the land use maps is permitted to the degree necessary to implement the intended land use pattern. ) Editor’s note: * A map of Maro Reef, which only has one rock protruding above water, is not included.
