6 members, neighbors, friends. So this table was created to show all the different options that are currently available in 268 the County. 269 270 Patricia Roberts: 1,000 square feet is huge. 271 272 Ashley Moncado: Yes, and there was concerns shared from this Board as well as the BOCC regarding the original 273 proposed size. Originally, it was only 300 square feet and there were concerns that was too small. So, we increased 274 it to 1,000 square feet. 275 276 Patricia Roberts: And what’s temporary? How long is temporary? 277 278 Ashley Moncado: Temporary is not defined by state statute so it could be a week, a year. It’s not allowed to be 279 placed on a permanent foundation, it is to remain on its trailer so it can be pulled back out. 280 281 Patricia Roberts: What about hooking up the septic? 282 283 Ashley Moncado: You’d have to go through environmental health approval so they would be reviewed by Orange 284 County Environmental Health. If they don’t have the capacity to add that, because it’s considered an extra bedroom, 285 they will have to address that. 286 287 Patricia Roberts: So there’s not that many places in the County where you can put one of these. 288 289 Tony Blake: Well, if you have a 5-acre lot. 290 291 Laura Nicholson: I noticed that you changed a lot of the things, but I still see the one person as the occupant 292 requirement. Was there any wiggle room there to allow? I’m just looking at the table and still seeing one. 293 294 Ashley Moncado: Yes, the table is only referencing temporary health care structure standards. But, if you look at the 295 actual amendments, we are allowing up to five unrelated to live in a single family dwelling unit and up to two people 296 to live with a temporary custodial care unit. 297 298 Paul Guthrie: How are you defining family? 299 300 Ashley Moncado: Well, we have to actual definition on page 47 of your packets and it’s exactly as we’ve had it 301 previously, the only thing that we’re changing is a minor grammar error as well as increasing it from three to five. 302 303 Paul Guthrie: The reason I ask the question is, the definition of a family has changed radically. And the only time 304 when the question comes up is when somebody’s unhappy about it being permitted and one of the things you would 305 certify is that it meets this definition; and how do you prove a family? What are the standards of a family? 306 307 Ashley Moncado: I think it’s outlined pretty well in the definition of what we’re defining a family as and that’s 308 something that as it’s brought to our attention. 309 310 Paul Guthrie: Well, let me give you an example, two individuals live together and each individual, one has two 311 children and one has three children. There is no, in my mind, legal definition, of that being a family under the law. Are 312 they able to have a unit brought in for mom when she comes in from one of the mothers from one of the partners? 313 314 Ashley Moncado: Are you talking about the actual family definition of what we’re talking about five unrelated people 315 or are you talking about the temporary health care structure-because there’s no relationship requirement with that 316 anymore. 317 318 Paul Guthrie: I’m talking about that in the context of this whole. 319 320 Ashley Moncado: So the temporary custodial care unit, there’s no relationship requirement . 321
