The Information Statement says tourist accommodation is limited to one dwelling. It does not establish that the principal dwelling and an auxiliary residential dwelling unit can both be operated as nightly rentals.

A separate construction proposal may include new-home warranty provisions, but buyers must confirm the registered builder, provider, coverage and exclusions in their construction and warranty documents.
The supplied uphill and downhill construction proposals describe a revenue basement suite. Its approval and use depend on RS-1A zoning, the one-dwelling tourist-accommodation limitation, building and development permits, building code, approved plans, services and registered title requirements.
Visit the lot availability page, then contact the listing representative for pricing, conditions, property documents and viewing arrangements.
No home is included in the bare land described by the Information Statement.
