The new use combines the temporary health care <br />structure standards outlined in Session Law 2014-94 and existing standards related to temporary mobile home <br />units (custodial care) contained in Section 5.4.4. This option which would allow for temporary health care <br />structures and temporary mobile homes up to 1,000 square feet in size to be placed as an accessory use to an <br />existing single family dwelling unit, remove the required Special Use Permit for temporary mobile homes currently <br />contained in the UDO, and address items of concern identified by the BOCC at the May and September meetings. <br />3 Based on comments received at the May 26 Quarterly Public Hearing and September 1 BOCC meeting, the <br />proposed amendment will not require documentation identifying the relationship between the occupant of the <br />temporary health care structure and the occupant of the existing family dwelling unit. In addition, the amendment <br />will not require the occupant of the temporary health care structure to be a North Carolina resident. <br /> 45
