Glen, I thought that this was covered a few years ago. Low & behold on this thread, the code requirements were provided by Rob & YOU!

For an ohana,which has a second kitchen, you will need the director to accept you permit request, which doesn't seem likely in HPP.
For a quest house or studio, there can be no second kitchen. From your post, from the county code:
"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."
The intent of the code is that you cannot have a room for the preparing food in a guest house or studio....
BUT the letter of the code is that you cannot have ONE room or portion of ONE room that has
"(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."
What about 2 rooms? Obviously the intent of the code would still be there, but would this meet the letter of the code?
