Under North Collins Code § 103-8, operators of residential properties are generally expected to ensure their buildings meet the chapter's stated requirements for occupancy, size, light, and ventilation before and during occupancy. Compliant operators typically review how 'accessory use' is defined and applied uniformly across all residential structures they manage, ensuring no building is treated differently from another. Keeping documentation of how each building meets these general requirements can support ongoing compliance with Chapter 103.
