as I understand it, an attached room (connected = attached, even if by breezeway) is simply an Addition. You can always make additions as long as you're within setbacks, why not? The addition can't be a separate dwelling unit.
Adding plumbing to the addition has to meet the requirements for tying it into the wastewater system.
I've been told by Planning that bar sinks with counters can be flagged as second kitchens because so many people have gone that route to create a second "illegal" kitchen/dwelling unit.
This is stuff I've picked up from talking to Planning about former properties I had. One can also build a detached garage and workshop on ag land.
Even the additional farm dwelling is not that hard. An ohana is a second dwelling for residential purposes, and not allowed, but an ADF is, I talked to them back in May and picked up the application. If you have enough ag activity and a decent plan you can have a second dwelling for someone who works with it, a partner, a family member.
What you cannot do is have no ag activity and build a rental.
