Kauaʻi General Plan land use, Special Planning Areas and Special Treatment districts
Special Management Area, shoreline setback with the erosion transects, and the Sea Level Rise Constraint District
FEMA flood zone, tsunami evacuation zone, sea level rise with 3.2 ft, wildfire risk, landslide and dam zones

Zoning rules are read from Kauaʻi County Code Chapter 8, the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. Every card names its source, the layer it came from and the date of the data, so you can check it yourself.

Worth checking on Kauaʻi

Shoreline lots: the shoreline setback is set from the certified shoreline and the erosion rate, so the sheet shows the transects next to the lot.
The Special Management Area covers most of the coast. Work inside it usually needs an SMA permit from the Planning Department.
Vacation rentals: outside a Visitor Destination Area a vacation rental needs a nonconforming use certificate, so the sheet shows which side of the line the lot is on.
