These regulations allow for <br />temporary health care structures to be permitted as an a accessory use in any single family <br />residential zoning district on lots zoned for single family detached dwellings if all the regulatory <br />provisions outlined in Session Law 2014-94 are met. Since November 2014, staff has been <br />working to amend the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance to incorporate these <br />state regulations. <br /> <br />The proposed amendment was presented at the May 26, 2015 Quarterly Public Hearing. <br />Comments made at the public hearing are included in Section C.1 of Attachment 1. Approved <br />minutes from this meeting are included in Attachment 4.
