"guest house" is maximum 500sf on a minimum 7500sf lot.
"ohana dwelling" requires a minimum 10000sf lot and is allowable in RS, RA, FA, A zoning.
You cannot have both on the same lot.
There is a separate "ohana dwelling permit" which must be issued prior to application for the actual building permit.
The "ohana unit" can be "designated", typically an existing cottage becomes the "ohana", thereby allowing construction of a new "primary dwelling".
Interesting technicality: 25-6-31(a) stipulates that the ohana dwelling application can only be accepted after completion of all subdivision improvements.
Planning can approve additional "farm dwellings" on ag-zoned land.
The permitted structure stuff was made up policy by various building officials
They also seem to have a bunch of unwritten policy around unpermitted uses.
