<br />. <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br />Scott Harlicker, Senior PlannerJf:/ <br />January 11 t 2005 <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Bed and Breakfast (B&B) Operations <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />. Summary of December 14th Meeting <br /> <br />At the December 14th Planning Commission workshop the Commission discussed a possible <br />ordinance amendment to address bed and breakfast businesses. The Commission identified <br />that the primary purpose of the ordinance should be to minimize the impacts to the adjacent <br />neighborhood. Traffic, noise and signage were three impacts identified. Staff was asked to <br />draft a definition for bed and breakfasts that establishes standards. The Commission <br />believed that they should be allowed as a permitted use in all residential districts provided <br />they complied with the standards in the definition. If the business did not meet the <br />standards, it would require a conditional use permit. In commercial districts, a bed and <br />breakfast would be allowed as a permitted use in an existing residential structure. <br /> <br />Below is a proposed definition for a bed and breakfast business and criteria for its operation <br />in residential, agricultural and commercial districts. <br /> <br />Proposed Definition <br /> <br />An owner occupied residence with up to 5 guest rooms providing accommodations on a <br />transient basis. The length of stay is limited to one week; breakfast is the only meal served <br />and is limited to registered guests only. <br /> <br />. <br />
