WHAT IS AN `OHANA DWELLING <br /> 4. An `ohana dwelling is currently defined as "...a second dwelling unit permitted to <br /> be built as a separate or an attached unit on a building site, but does not include <br /> a guest house or a farm dwelling. "An `ohana dwelling unit is considered to be <br /> accessory to the principal permitted single family dwelling. <br /> 5. Over the years, the term `ohana dwelling unit has also been placed alongside the <br /> term accessory dwelling unit, additional farm dwelling, and additional dwelling <br /> unit; all are used to define a second dwelling unit on the same property as an <br /> existing single-family dwelling. <br /> PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO HCC CHAPTER 19 (REAL PROPERTY TAX) <br /> AND CHAPTER 23 (SUBDIVISIONS) <br /> 6.
