6 members, neighbors, friends. So this table was created to show all the different options that are currently available in 266 the County. 267 268 Patricia Roberts: 1,000 square feet is huge. 269 270 Ashley Moncado: Yes, and there was concerns shared from this Board as well as the BOCC regarding the original 271 proposed size. Originally, it was only 300 square feet and there were concerns that was too small. So, we increased 272 it to 1,000 square feet. 273 274 Patricia Roberts: And what’s temporary? How long is temporary? 275 276 Ashley Moncado: Temporary is not defined by state statute so it could be a week, a year. It’s not allowed to be 277 placed on a permanent foundation, it is to remain on its trailer so it can be pulled back out. 278 279 Patricia Roberts: What about hooking up the septic? 280 281 Ashley Moncado: You’d have to go through environmental health approval so they would be reviewed by Orange 282 County Environmental Health. If they don’t have the capacity to add that, because it’s considered an extra bedroom, 283 they will have to address that. 284 285 Patricia Roberts: So there’s not that many places in the County where you can put one of these. 286 287 Tony Blake: Well, if you have a 5-acre lot. 288 289 Laura Nicholson: I noticed that you changed a lot of the things, but I still see the one person as the occupant 290 requirement. Was there any wiggle room there to allow? I’m just looking at the table and still seeing one. 291 292 Ashley Moncado: Yes, the table is only referencing temporary health care structure standards. But, if you look at the 293 actual amendments, we are allowing up to five unrelated to live in a single family dwelling unit and up to two people 294 to live with a temporary custodial care unit. 295 296 Paul Guthrie: How are you defining family? 297 298 Ashley Moncado: Well, we have to actual definition on page 47 of your packets and it’s exactly as we’ve had it 299 previously, the only thing that we’re changing is a minor grammar error as well as increasing it from three to five. 300 301 Paul Guthrie: The reason I ask the question is, the definition of a family has changed radically. And the only time 302 when the question comes up is when somebody’s unhappy about it being permitted and one of the things you would 303 certify is that it meets this definition; and how do you prove a family? What are the standards of a family? 304 305 Ashley Moncado: I think it’s outlined pretty well in the definition of what we’re defining a family as and that’s 306 something that as it’s brought to our attention. 307 308 Paul Guthrie: Well, let me give you an example, two individuals live together and each individual, one has two 309 children and one has three children. There is no, in my mind, legal definition, of that being a family under the law. Are 310 they able to have a unit brought in for mom when she comes in from one of the mothers from one of the partners? 311 312 Ashley Moncado: Are you talking about the actual family definition of what we’re talking about five unrelated people 313 or are you talking about the temporary health care structure-because there’s no relationship requirement with that 314 anymore. 315 316 Paul Guthrie: I’m talking about that in the context of this whole. 317 318 Ashley Moncado: So the temporary custodial care unit, there’s no relationship requirement . 319 10 10
