63 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 326 <br /> 327 Randy Marshall sought clarification on whether they were proposing that would be an Airbnb without a host. <br /> 328 <br /> 329 Michael Harvey confirmed and stated that this knocks that down but commented that he would argue it already <br /> 330 knocked down under the current code. <br /> 331 <br /> 332 Patricia Roberts questioned the time difference between renting a single-family home versus being an Airbnb. Mr. <br /> 333 Harvey responded that both short term rental small and large talk about rental by the week. He stated they were <br /> 334 not likely to get into the policing business to find out how long occupants have rented if onsite and further stated the <br /> 335 problem usually arises when the occupant is not home. <br /> 336 <br /> 337 Paul Guthrie asked about faculty renting out when they go on a sabbatical somewhere. <br /> 338 <br /> 339 Michael Harvey responded this would be the rental of a house as a single-family residence. He then mentioned the <br /> 340 facts table provided in the packet. He commented that the goal was not to prevent the rental of housing for use as <br /> 341 housing. The goal would be to prevent the conversion of a residence into a mini hotel in an established <br /> 342 neighborhood. <br /> 343 <br /> 344 Michael Harvey continued on the amendments and guided the board to pages 83, 84, 99 and explained those to be <br /> 345 just formatting updates. He stated page 100 to be the move of retreat center standards to eliminating retreat as a <br /> 346 camp and explained that page 104 deals with theater as it gets moved to assembly. Mr. Harvey stated that page 145 <br /> 347 describes the assembly uses;the general use standard,setback standards, the size limitations. Then, he moved to <br /> 348 page 153 to touch on the retreat center standards in terms of submittal and SUP requirements and explained that the <br /> 349 new section 5.18.4. concerning rural special events was not changed. The term theater had now been added, since <br /> 350 it was moved from recreation. <br /> 351 <br /> 352 Lydia Wegman asked Mr. Harvey if retreat center remained the same. Mr. Harvey replied,yes, but stated with one <br /> 353 notable exception;the deletion of camp sites. In the standards of evaluation for both, he stated there was a standard <br /> 354 of evaluation involving a site plan requirement which is why it was moved to submittal requirements for both camp <br /> 355 and retreat. Mr. Harvey also conveyed that the subdivision provisions for special use permits and <br /> 356 telecommunications regulations would probably be gutted as they are redundant. <br /> 357 <br /> 358 Lydia Wegman sought clarification on why Mr. Harvey thought they were superfluous and asked if they were covered <br /> 359 elsewhere. Mr. Harvey confirmed they were in three different sections. <br /> 360 <br /> 361 Michael Harvey guided the board to page 174 and informed them that he definition of assembly use had been <br /> 362 altered. He explained that since assembly has been split out and retreat center has been moved to assembly land <br /> 363 uses, it would no longer be needed. <br /> 364 <br /> 365 Craig Benedict questioned where wedding fits into assembly uses. Mr. Harvey replied, retreat center. <br /> 366 <br /> 367 Craig Benedict commented that if weddings are retreat centers, then they needed to be in more commercial area <br /> 368 locations so people can have a wedding in some sort of hall. Michael Harvey remarked that the board could make <br /> 369 that recommendation. He responded to Mr. Benedict and stated he had never heard this comment from him before. <br /> 370 Craig replied that it had been covered by the whole assembly uses except as listed below and stated it was permitted <br /> 371 in multiple areas. <br /> 372 <br /> 373 Lydia Wegman questioned whether there was anything specific about wedding venues anymore. Michael Harvey, <br /> 374 replied, no, and said it was all covered under the retreat center concept. <br /> 375 <br /> 376 Michael Harvey said that club or lodge,was amended as relayed earlier, as was community center. He moved to <br /> 377 page 182 involving family care facilities and read the recommended definition. He stated that upon further <br /> 378 consideration,the County Attorney decided the language should say as defined as under state statute. <br /> 379 <br />
