If this is a gray area and you repeating the same practice (Contract assignment) which could be interpreted in the spirit of the law as brokering, they may keep fining you.

In general, for this type of project, I would use discreet colors (e,g gray, white, black) as it helps to convey professionalism.

Example, the house is 16 years old and the ADU is one year old, the house is rent controlled under AB1482 and the ADU is not rent controlled under AB1482 for 14 more years.Senator Weinkowski implied that his intent in the ADU rules was to encourage housing development and that neither the house or the ADU was rent controlled unit 15 years after the property became a multi unit.I have not seen an HCD interpretation, but HCD has shown to be toothless to the municipalities so even if HCD goes with Senator Weinkowski's interpretation it is unlikely to change the behavior of the municipalities as long as there is even a trace of gray area. 

We NEVER went days on end without seeing the sun - that's been normal here off and on the past 3 years - thank the Lord we're hitting summer where that should stop until this fall hopefully.Anyways - my personal preference is lots of sunshine and not days on end of clouds and grayness and hopefully no hurricane force winds for days on end - all things you can get in KS - I've lived in Holcomb, KS - 9 miles from Garden City in western KSWichita KS - most of my life with 1 place in city limits during adulthood, childhood out of town in a rural setting, and hs years on the edge of town in the burbs but with landTopeka, KS - going on 3 yrs now - we live out of town on landFt Myers, FL during the height of the bubble and start of the crash in the 00'sCape Coral, FL - same time periodPort Charlotte, FL - same time periodIf we were to stay in KS - there are things I like about where we're at but we are not in "LOVE" with it - we're close to KC - close to downtown Lawrence and have a unique property that is affordable.   

But since I'm not from there I need your help.It's just north of Hardin-Simmons University and according to the gray shaded area on the map is just off campus property??

@Daniel Gray Could you provide some insight on Bluefrog's rates, please. 

Also, the Sherwin Williams color of 2017 is going to be Taupe, a combination of brown and gray.
