56 <br />Michael Harvey: Reviewed abstract. The General Assembly has modernized and provided uniformity of the Board of 57 <br />Adjustment. We are updating our code to be consistent with State Law. 58 <br /> 59 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Are there any questions? Ok, it makes sense to me. Thank you. 60 <br /> 61 <br /> 62 AGENDA ITEM 4: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT AMENDMENTS – HOME OCCUPATION 63 <br /> To review and comment upon proposed revisions to the UDO regarding Home Occupation standards. 64 Presenter: Ashley Moncado, Special Projects Planner 65 66 <br />Paul Guthrie: For the record, we have a home business in my house. 67 <br /> 68 <br />Lisa Stuckey: I have a home business in my house too. 69 <br /> 70 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: I work out of my home too. 71 <br /> 72 <br />Ashley Moncado: (Reviewed abstract). 73 <br /> 74 <br />Paul Guthrie: Have you been able to identify what the traffic work load it going to be to the planning department as a result of 75 <br />these regulations? 76 <br /> 77 <br />Michael Harvey: I have no concerns based on the provisions. I believe the regulations proposed are reasonable. I don’t 78 <br />believe it will increase the workload tremendously. 79 <br /> 80 <br />Paul Guthrie: You don’t know how many applications you will get. I think technically the provision with regard to the number 81 <br />of special events is still going to exclude the art tour because the number of 30 will breach that. We have a very strong arts 82 <br />community and I need to think through how you do not become an impediment to that. 83 <br /> 84 <br />Ashley Moncado: Other counties don’t have limits on people but limitations on parking and other things. They are more 85 <br />restrictive. 86 <br /> 87 <br />Paul Guthrie: You want to look at that dynamic. 88 <br /> 89 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: You can get a special permit for that event. 90 <br /> 91 <br />Paul Guthrie: The arts community is already buzzing about this. My other concern is the parking requirement could be 92 <br />difficult for some folks. The other comment is regarding the maintenance; you may want to clarify that and be prepared that 93 <br />may be a problem. 94 <br /> 95 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: On page 86 regarding parking, parking shall be met off the street and not required yard area, so when 96 <br />people come to these events, they can’t park on the street. 97 <br /> 98 <br />Ashley Moncado: They would have to be in your area and not in the setback. 99 <br /> 100 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Could you put setback instead of yard area? 101 <br /> 102 <br />Perdita Holtz: No, because of the way yard is defined and used in the UDO and other places. 103 <br /> 104 <br />Michael Harvey: There is an opportunity for you to go through a process to seek regress. We don’t want to have a commercial 105 <br />impact on a private road. 106 <br /> 107 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: On the outside storage space, there is 500 square feet, for the major home occupations that is part of the 108 <br />application. In the minor home occupation application, where is that? 109 <br /> 110 <br />10
