15 754 Tony Blake: I can think of places where it’s already occurring. 755 756 Michael Harvey: We’ve also expanded, modified the existing land use category temporary mobile home or residential unit. 757 This is those situations where if you’re building a house you need to live on your property temporarily we’re going to give you 758 an opportunity to use either a mobile home or a RV, but it’s got to go within 90 days. And we have talked about that as part of 759 the amendment to the home park and we were not allowed to do the amendment at that time, so we’re doing it now. 760 761 Tony Blake: So the 30 days has a strike then? 762 763 Michael Harvey: Yeah, we’re taking out 30 days because we had a conflict in the ordinance. This provision said 30 days, the 764 ordinance actually says 90. And if you think about it, you’ve got to have somebody come get a mobile home, you’ve got to 765 move out a mobile home, 30 days is a little unrealistic. So we were trying to give a little more flexibility. 766 767 Tony Blake: Yeah, well there’s nothing that would prevent somebody from driving their RV around the block and putting it 768 back. 769 770 Lydia Wegman: Michael, what’s a personal care facility? 771 772 Michael Harvey: You mean health and personal care facilities? 773 774 Lydia Wegman: I do. 775 776 Michael Harvey: That is an overall term where we’ve lumped in nursing home, assisted living, congregate care all in one 777 central category. 778 779 Lydia Wegman: I’m just saying the term personal care? 780 781 Michael Harvey: We stole that from APA to be honest. I also need to create a distinction between health care as listed under 782 medical uses so we were trying to come with... I needed there to be a distinction. 783 784 Tony Blake: So would health and private care describe that? 785 786 Michael Harvey: Check vernacular. We can do that. 787 788 Michael Harvey continued reviewing abstract. 789 790 Craig Benedict: How about rural special events? 791 792 Michael Harvey: That’s actually under miscellaneous. 793 794 Tony Blake: I know what you’re going to do about the signs though. 795 796 Michael Harvey: Sign ordinance? That’s going to have to be done for February of next year. That’s going to be even worse 797 than this… Utilities. We haven’t played with that a lot yet because I don’t think we have good direction from the elected 798 officials on how they want to handle alternative energy, like wind turbines, so we’ve used the catch all category for now. And 799 we’ll probably come up with some recommendations in the way of text amendment once we get to that. 800 801 Tony Blake: Isn’t this better regulated from… Because it seems like it’s permitted just about everywhere. Isn’t it better 802 regulated through a technical specification? 803 804 Michael Harvey: Well there’s that, there’s also an argument that we’re technically preempted from regulating some of this 805 anyway. 806 807
