Signage may be permitted, provided it is limited to one 4 sq. ft. wall sign and one freestanding sign (4 feet in height, and 8 square feet). Neither sign may be illuminated. 4. No more than five sleeping rooms for guest use. Summary Ms. Adams is requesting conditional use permit approval to operate the existing residence at 931 Main Street as a bed and crafting business. This use is classified as a bed and breakfast, and with the approval of Ordinance 08-09, is a conditional use. The proposal includes no exterior modifications, except for two small signs. There are seven parking stalls on site, including two in the garage. During the original review of the proposed business, (a proposed rezoning in September), adjacent property owners raised concerns relative to additional traffic, parking, the shared use of the driveway, and the neighbors' potential loss of privacy. Staff reviewed these concerns and felt the use appropriate for the property. Full review is outlined in the attached Planning Commission report. Planning Commission Discussion The Planning Commission noted that health department review might be necessary. Commissioners also questioned the shared driveway concern of the neighbor. Staff replied that there has been no evidence to suggest that the easement is exclusive to only residential. Staff also suggested that additional driveways onto the property might be undesirable.
