5 <br /> <br /> <br />Staff Response: The proposed amendment will address this comment <br />and allow up to five unrelated people to reside together in a single <br />family dwelling unit. The maximum of five people is based on the 2012 <br />North Carolina Residential Code. Once there are more than five <br />unrelated people residing together the dwelling unit must be classified <br />and reviewed under the 2012 North Carolina State Building Code as a <br />rooming or boarding house. A rooming or boarding house is reviewed <br />and permitted differently in the North Carolina State Building Code and <br />UDO compared to a single family dwelling unit. <br /> <br /> BOCC Member Comment: Concern with the requirement that the <br />occupant of the temporary health care structure must be a North <br />Carolina resident.
