Tiny Homes/Shotgun Homes: Where to find building rules?

[David Hemm]

Hi BP Members, 

I have a weird question and do not know where to go to start finding my answers? In Arizona they just allowed, Tempe, to allow a plot of land to be used for "tiny homes" in an effort to promote affordable housing. It sparked my interest in the rules of doing something like this. 

Do you think it is possible to purchase land and then build multiple tiny homes or shotgun houses on the property? And the better question, HOW can this be done? 

I live in TX and there is an abundance of land. Being able to purchase multiple acres and then building 10 tiny homes would be an interesting take on the idea of multifamily. 

Please let me know your thoughts or places to go to deep dive this myself.
