Ah, gotcha.
IMO these standards just make no sense at all, scrap them. The market is literally designed to sort this sort of issue out - if you want a bigger kitchen pay for it, someone will provide.
Artificially restricting the minimum size of dwellings is just forcing people to either overpay for housing or be homeless.

If one’s standards exceed what they can provide for, they are beholden to that which can.
Seems to be “a feature not a bug” because as you suggest, this is actually problematic for people trying to live a simple dignified life.
Our legal standards for what constitutes minimum acceptable housing actively fosters homelessness and any discussion of how those standards are excessive -- even in comparison to other developed countries with high quality of life -- gets ridiculous replies completely shooting down the idea that if civilized, well heeled people in other developed countries can feed a large family with a smaller kitchen, then maybe we have room to design smaller kitchens in some of our housing units.
