d.

The unit shall comply with all standards for construction of residential units, including payment of all development and construction fees applicable to apartment units and shall be connected to city sewer and water services.

e.

The maximum size of the unit shall be one thousand one hundred (1,100) square feet.

g.

The unit may be constructed with initial development of the site or be added at a later date.

h.

Manufactured homes may be used if they are screened from view, otherwise the units shall be architecturally integrated with the industrial units.

i.

The unit is not for the purpose of income and shall not be rented.

j.

If the use is discontinued, the unit shall be removed from the site or if constructed on site shall be converted to a permitted use associated with the primary use.

k.

The conditional use permit for the dwelling or manufactured housing building shall be subject to annual review by the approving entity at its discretion and shall be revocable upon a finding of a violation of requirements in this section.
