I had read previously that only high-cube containers could be permitted.
Without digging through HCC, I can only guess that there's a ceiling height requirement -- I've seen this in other jurisdictions, where the square footage calculation only includes interior portions of the house with ceilings higher than 7'6", lower ceilings are "allowable" but can't be used as "living space".
There is a shipping container home that is permitted. Four, forty foot ones stacked to make a two story square.
