I was considering outfitting a single 40' container. As far as I could tell there is no reason you can't get one permitted. It would be easiest to call it an efficiency apartment, with one 220 sq ft living area, a bathroom, and a kitchen. A 40' container is large enough. However, it is difficult to lay the thing out efficiently. You need a door in the side, a bathroom at one end, and a sleeping area at the other end, otherwise you kill a lot of space with the corridor down the middle.
