efficiency units within existing Triplex

[Basu G.]

We recently acquired a whole sale deal, that is a legal triplex.  1 floor has 2 units, with each unit having 2 doors and 2nd floor has 1 unit with 2 doors. The units are little too big and our developer says we should convert the unit to four efficiency units downstairs (each one having its own door and kitchenette) and two standard units upstairs (with full kitchen). I asked our developer regarding legality of it as we can't add more kitchens than permitted by law. We were told Kitchenette are not considered kitchens and as long as we provide enough parking for all the units, we should be fine. Any suggestions ?
