I Googled "cohousing zoning ordinance.” Brings up 17,400 results including 
messages to this list and documents on the cohousing.org site. Very interesting 
topics.

 “sample zoning ordinances” gets many results. I included two below that will 
give you language and definitions. They will also help you talk to zoning 
officials and sound knowledgable. 

Many code examples:

Wikipedia and Google are my first stops in researching (most) topics.
