(A) Upon adoption of this chapter, accessory buildings used as dwelling units and occupied by a “family” (see definition in § 153.004) member shall be a conforming use. Such units occupied by a non-family member shall be nonconforming uses.
(B) (1) The definitions and provisions of this chapter provide for this situation.
(2) Therefore, the following shall apply:
(a) An existing accessory structure occupied at the time of adoption of this chapter by a non-family member can continue to be used for such purpose. If the unit occupied by a non-family member becomes vacant for more than 60 days (see § 153.036(C)(2)(c)4.), then such unit could only be reoccupied by a family member.
(b) New accessory structures intended for use as dwellings shall only be occupied by a family member.
