Longmont, Colorado legality of kitchenettes or extra kitchens

Alec Martin
Posted

I want to make a single-family home in Longmont more optimal for sharing by five unrelated adult roommates. I will be adding a private bathroom to each of the five bedrooms and reducing common area. According to the "Rental Property Handbook for Landlords and Tenants in the City of Longmont," (https://www.longmontcolorado.gov/home/showdocument?id=800)  "Cooking shall not be permitted in any rooming unit or dormitory unit, and a cooking appliance shall not be permitted to be present in a rooming unit or dormitory unit."

I want to provide private kitchenettes to the bedrooms if possible, but it appears a kitchenette inside a bedroom is prohibited. I could not find publications online detailing regulations for the number of cooking appliances or kitchens in allowed in a single family home, nor could I find any document defining a "cooking appliance." Stoves and microwave ovens are obviously cooking appliances, but what about coffee grinders, mini fridges, and dishwashers?

Could anyone with experience with multiple kitchens/kitchenettes or better knowledge of Longmont laws and regulations that I do help me find info on ways to legally have a studio apartment-like or small single bedroom apartment-like setup for each of multiple adult housemates in a single family home?
