...if the utilities were accounted for and paid for by the family.

If she moved in the mansion and slept on an air mattress or couch or something in a separate room no one would give a shit. Yet she'd be using taxpayer funds like any other family member would in that situation.

So the trade for having her own personal space would be to pay for the resources it consumes.

That it is in some no-zoning area is definitely circumspect, but I don't have a problem with it, really. It's not that big of a deal.
