Only one temporary health care structure shall be allowed on a lot or parcel of <br />land. <br />2.

Temporary health care structures shall comply with all setback requirements <br />and any maximum floor area ratio limitations that apply to the primary <br />structure. <br />4. Any person proposing to install a temporary health care structure must obtain <br />a permit and may be charged a fee up to $100 and a yearly renewal fee up to <br />$50. <br />5. A temporary health care structure may be required to connect to water, sewer, <br />and electric utilities and comply with all applicable state laws, local <br />ordinances, and additional regulations. <br />6. No signage shall be permitted onsite or on the exterior of the temporary health <br />care structure. <br />7. All temporary health care structures shall be removed within 60 days in which <br />the physical or mentally impaired person is no longer receiving care or is no <br />longer in need of assistance. <br />Based on regulations set forth in Session Law 2014 -94, the proposed amendment <br />will modify sections of the UDO regarding temporary structures for custodial care in <br />order to be consistent with Session Law.

Additional analysis will be <br />included with the quarterly public hearing materials. <br />2. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br />2 <br />
