An ohana is only permitted in hard R zoning -- any zoning which permits additional structures will also prohibit the ohana.
A structure that is over six feet high is considered a building, somehow; I can't find a specific cite, but the magic six-foot figure leaves footprints all over Chapter 25. It may be part of the completely unreadable building code, which apparently incorporates the UBC in its entirety, then carves out a zillion little exceptions, stuff like "glass jalousie windows are considered a fire escape" -- I'll be sure to remember that during my inspection.
