Yes. Princeville limits new construction to two stories and our county (the whole island of Kauai) limits homes to two stories and condos to three stories. We want the low profile, old Hawaii feel to be maintained here instead of maximizing profit with high rises.

We don't have a building height restriction, but please keep this quiet. If our town manager gets wind of this she will make sure we get an ordinance addressing this. She can place it next to the damn outdoor lighting and landscaping ordinance she put in place not to long ago.

I am not sure, this is something no one has ever asked, most homes are either 1, 2 or 3 stories. In the more commercial area I know there are quite a few due to several airports around.

It depends on location and zonimg, and type of building being built. But 35' is common for maximum height in many areas. It also depends on whether the building is commercial or residential. And agricultural buildings are usually exempt.
