The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Applicability and intent
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 Koolau Loa SCP area encompasses the entire area from the mountains to the northeastern shoreline of Oahu stretching from Waialee on the northwest end, along the ridgeline of the Koolau Loa Mountain Range in a southeasterly direction to Kaoio Point at its southeast end.
(b) It is the intent of the Koolau Loa SCP to provide a guide for orderly and coordinated public and private sector development in a manner that is consistent with applicable general plan provisions, including the designation of Koolau Loa as a rural area where growth will be managed so that "an undesirable spreading of development is prevented."
(c) The provisions of this article and the Koolau Loa SCP are not regulatory. Rather, they are established with the explicit intent of providing a coherent vision to guide all new public and private sector development within Koolau Loa. This article guides public investment in infrastructure, zoning and other regulatory procedures, and the preparation of the city's annual capital improvement program budget.
