“Wet Bar” Oven Alternatives

[Keith Miller]

I’m getting ready to install a kitchen in a downstairs unit of mine, but for code purposes it will be classified as a “Wet Bar”. From my contacts with the city, I can install a sink no problem, but I can’t put in a 220v outlet for an oven, as then it’s classified as a full kitchen. Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround for this issue? In order to get approved for a full kitchen, I’d have to separate all the plumbing between the upstairs and downstairs units, which would be a prohibitive cost. I’ve been running it as an Airbnb, but I would like to switch it to a rental so a kitchen is needed.

I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas for dealing with this. I’m in Missoula Montana, but any ideas from anywhere in the US are appreciated.
