The term does not include companion units, junior units, or employee housing.Companion unit means an accessory structure on a residential lot that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons, independent of the primary dwelling unit, which includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.Accessory structure means a structure attached to or detached from a primary structure located on the same premises that is customarily incidental and subordinate to the primary structure or use.
