MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 3, 2010
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: David G. Gould, Planning Officer
SUBJECT: Amending Land Development Code — Chapter 165-
105C Adding Bed & Breakfast to Permitted uses in
Rural Residence and Agricultural - C.O. 10-76
Please be advised that on March 2, 2010 the Planning Board held a Public
Hearing on the above Land Development Code Amendment.
Planning Officer David Gould explained that the amendment was intended to
add Bed & Breakfast as a permitted use in the Rural Residence and Agricultural
District (RR&A). This concept was brought to the Planning Board's attention in
2004 when a property owner sought to establish a Bed & Breakfast
establishment in an historic structure in the Rural Residence and Agricultural
District via Contract Zoning Provisions. The Board found the use acceptable but
did not want to establish them via a rezoning process but to look at an RR&A
District Amendment.
Staff prepared a preliminary version that had requirements based on older
buildings and B&B's and Country Inns. The language was later revised to
address the concerns of the Board and introduced for consideration.
Member Bolin noted the initial concerns he had have been addressed. Member
Damon asked why the standards specifically called out compliance with State
Plumbing Code requirements and not other codes such as electrical. Mr. Gould
noted the specific concern was to be sure that the incremental increase in waste
water flow that increases with each additional rental room was not overlooked
in the permitting process.
The Board voted unanimously to recommend adding Bed & Breakfast as a
permitted use to RR&A District as contained in C.O. #10-076.
