House plans designed for future expansion

[Hotzcatz]

Some folks have been building their guest house first. They build a small - less than 500 square feet - "guest house" except it is permitted as their main residence. Later, when they want to build their bigger house, they do a "change in use" permit on the original building to change it to a Guest House and then build their new bigger residence. To change their first structure into a Guest House they usually have to remove one of the major kitchen appliances, usually the stove.
