thanks for the reference

I also found the following that specifically allows conversion of an exsiting house.

Section 25-6-33. Designation of the ohana dwelling unit. (a) Regardless of the size of a building site, not more than one ohana dwelling unit shall be permitted on the same building site with the first single-family dwelling unit. (b) The director may designate an existing, first single-family dwelling unit as an ohana dwelling unit in order to allow permitting of a new first single-family dwelling unit when such existing dwelling is the only dwelling unit on the building site and the dwelling unit complies or will be modified to comply with all the requirements of this division. (1996, ord 96-160, sec 2; ratified April 6, 1999.)25


as for the "complete all planned improvements"  

Well the property is in Orchiland on one of the nicest paved roads in the area, has electrical power and fiber optic service.
don't think they are planning to add a sewer system or county water, so would be hard for them to say the improvements are not in place in my area.
