This is the best thread on this topic that I have seen. Am adding the following....
Chapter 25 of the Hawai’i County Zoning Code contains definitions. Definitions are always a good point of departure:
(96) "Single-family dwelling" means a building containing only one dwelling unit.
(39) "Dwelling unit" means one or more rooms designed for or containing or used as the complete facilities for the cooking, sleeping and living area of a single-family only and occupied by no more than one family and containing a single kitchen.
(63) "Kitchen" means a room or a portion of a room designed to be used for the preparation of food and containing at least one item from both of the following categories:
(A) Fixtures, appliances or devices for heating or cooking food; and
(B) Fixtures, appliances or devices for washing utensils used for dining and food preparation and/or for washing and preparing food.
(55) "Guest house" means an accessory building used as sleeping quarters for guests of the occupants of the main dwelling and having no cooking facilities.
(1) “Accessory building" means a building, no more than twenty feet in height, detached
from and subordinate to a main building or main use on the same building site and used
for the purposes customarily incidental to those of the main building or use.
