As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
ACCESSORY APARTMENT
A separate accessory dwelling unit, having both a kitchen
and bathroom, created either within a single-family dwelling or within
a detached accessory structure but subordinate to it in terms of size
and appearance.
ACCESSORY CARETAKER APARTMENT
A separate accessory dwelling unit, having both a kitchen
and bathroom, within an existing or newly constructed detached structure
but subordinate to an existing single-family structure in terms of

The intent of this regulation is to permit a wider variety of
housing types for various segments of Killingworth's population. It
allows the creation of one accessory apartment within single-family
dwellings, detached accessory buildings and certain new construction
for the purpose of providing alternative rental housing for the elderly,
single persons, or caretakers. This regulation is designed to ensure
that in creating an accessory apartment the single-family character
of the existing principal dwelling shall be retained.
