1. Single-family homes with more than one (1) kitchen shall not be considered to have an accessory apartment (unless specifically approved as such by issuance of a building permit) and shall comply with the following requirements:

2. The home shall have only one (1) address.

3. An interior access shall be maintained to all parts of the home. This requirement is to assure that an accessory apartment is not created. For example, doors between the second kitchen and the remainder of the home shall have no locks or deadbolt mechanisms which could restrict access. Other methods for limiting or restricting access from the second kitchen to the remainder of the home shall also not be permitted. Access to a second kitchen through a garage shall not be considered “interior access.”

4. The home shall have no more than one (1) electrical meter.

5. A kitchen shall be defined as a place with permanent food preparation facilities which shall include a stove/range appliance.

6. The owner of any single-family dwelling requesting a second kitchen shall sign an affidavit on a form prepared by the city, therein stating that the second kitchen area in the dwelling will not be used as a duplex or accessory apartment. Presence of a second kitchen does not constitute approval of a multifamily unit. This affidavit shall be recorded against the property and run with the land and be binding on future successors of the property.
