Interesting point Lee. I think one big shared kitchen (but with multiple prep areas and sinks) might make sense anyway. If the solar and catchement are all taken care of at the communal building then it would be a natural place for the kitchen. Private accommodations could be kept simple: bedroom, bathroom, lanai.

There are legal limits on how many "bedrooms" can use one kitchen, also the if each cabin has its own bathroom you will either spend a fortune on underground pipes to the septic, or separate systems for each. There is a place on the street behind us that is running a Puna version of a trailer park with multiple cabins on a lot zoned single family, using the one kitchen loophole. They get turned into the county on a regular basis whenever a new neighbor moves into the area and complains, then temporarily remove the "extra" kitchens until after the inspection, and return to business as normal.

But the owner also brags that he has a friend in the planning department who warns him when there is a complaint and tells him who the "anonymous" complainer is. Unless you have that kind of friend, make sure you are staying inside the rules, or it could be an expensive mistake.
