14 700 Tony Blake: Same thing, with eyeglasses. 701 702 Randy Marshall: This would seem to indicate that doctors and dentists couldn’t have in home practices. 703 704 Michael Harvey: That’s actually handled as a home occupation, which is allowed elsewhere in the code. So if you’re a dentist, 705 or if you’re a doctor, or you’re an attorney and you want to work out of your home there’s a totally separate independent 706 process you get to go through. 707 708 Randy Marshall: Ok. 709 710 Michael Harvey: So next we have recreational. This goes back to a comment I made earlier about profit/non-profit. We’re 711 eliminating the term public out of parks. Why? Because a park is a park is a park is a park. We shouldn’t really distinguish. 712 713 Kim Piracci: There’s no such thing as private parks? 714 715 Michael Harvey: There is. That’s why we’re eliminating public. It’s a park. I mean, if you develop, like TLC has several private, 716 what I would call, rec parks. They’re a park. There’s no inherent difference between that facility and the one the government 717 did. 718 719 Kim Piracci: In terms on zoning. 720 721 Michael Harvey: Right. 722 723 Tony Blake: Parks have almost become a commodity now. They’re including pocket parks to meet leads, for example. Or 724 some green certification. 725 726 Lydia Wegman: Do parks have to be open to the public? 727 728 Michael Harvey: In this context, under recreational, yes. This is a park that is providing a service. 729 730 Lydia Wegman: So that needs to be clear and definite. 731 732 Michael Harvey: In the definition I think we’re going to handle it as open to the public but the term public here… 733 734 Lydia Wegman: I understand, but just as long as it’s clear and definite… But I do think it needs to be clear that a park is open 735 to the public. 736 737 Michael Harvey: We can add some clarification to the definition. 738 739 Inaudible conversations 740 741 Michael Harvey: So residential is going to be the next land use category. As you recall we amended the ordinance to allow 742 campgrounds. We have to spell out specifically with them without recreational vehicles. Dwellings we kept the same. Family 743 group care we kept the same because that’s defined by State law. Health and personal care facility. This is where we’ve 744 lumped in your assisted care, live in facility, congregate care, nursing home; everything in one fell swoop. We’re just not 100% 745 sure where we’re going to put them yet. There’s a concern from the County’s Attorney’s office we have to list out specifically 746 recreational vehicle. We don’t believe we do, but we want to get something out of their office so we put it in. 747 748 Kim Piracci: What would be an example of that? 749 750 Michael Harvey: Well their concern is if we don’t list it that means anybody could put a recreational vehicle on a parcel of 751 property and live out of it and it’s permitted by right because it’s not listed. And I disagree with that but I’m erring on the side of 752 caution because I’ve got to get this out of the County Attorney’s office. 753
