Does anybody have an <br /> 29 example? <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Ashley Moncado:At one point we did have a little flyer, unfortunately it's not included in your packet tonight. It's a <br /> 32 mobile unit, so if you can picture a single wide manufactured home, even smaller than that.A temporary health care <br /> 33 structure originally is only about 300 square feet. It's a mobile unit so it's basically a room with a bathroom. It can go <br /> 34 on any lot where an existing single family home would be permitted.Your only issue with neighborhoods,they are <br /> 35 permitted at the county level, but if there's covenants or restrictions then they trump the Session Law. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Patricia Roberts: I see 1,000 square feet everywhere here except for the table, on the table it said it can't exceed 300 <br /> 38 square feet. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Ashley Moncado: I think that is just referencing a temporary health care structure,which this is something from a <br /> 41 previous meeting where they wanted to know what other options there are out there for providing care to family <br /> 42 members, neighbors,friends.So this table was created to show all the different options that are currently available in <br /> 43 the County. <br /> 44 <br /> 45 Patricia Roberts: 1,000 square feet is huge. <br /> 46 <br /> 47 Ashley Moncado:Yes, and there was concerns shared from this Board as well as the BOCC regarding the original <br /> 48 proposed size.Originally, it was only 300 square feet and there were concerns that was too small. So,we increased <br /> 49 it to 1,000 square feet. <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Patricia Roberts:And what's temporary? How long is temporary? <br /> 52 <br /> 1 <br />
