4) PUBLIC HEARING AND ACTION ITEMS
A. Public Hearing on a proposed Class IV Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast, Robert Morris, Applicant
Kevin Rudd indicated the zoning ordinance allows a Bed and Breakfast in residential zones and the basic requirements are that the primary occupation has to be owner occupied and the room that is the Bed and Breakfast has to be a part of the actual home.  There has to be an entrance from the primary entrance but a secondary access is allowed.  The maximum number of guestrooms eligible for a Bed and Breakfast is three (3) and a parking spot is required for each room. Commissioner Pack inquired if a business license and fire inspection was required.  Dale Coulam stated that since a fire inspection would be required because people would be living there, a business license would also be required.  Chairman Loris opened the Public Hearing.  There being no comments, Chairman Loris closed the Public Hearing.
B. Consider approval of a Class IV Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast, Robert Morris, Applicant
Application
Floor Plan
Neighbor Notice
Plot Plan
Staff Report
Commissioner Pack inquired what the difference was between and Bed and Breakfast and renting out a room on a more permanent basis.  Kevin Rudd stated there isn't a full kitchen in the rooms and if someone wanted to rent out the room on a long term basis, they could do that.  The ordinance allows up to four (4) unrelated people can live in a home.  If the rooms are rented out for less than thirty (30) days without obtaining a Bed and Breakfast permit, that would be considered a short term rental and would be in violation. A Bed and Breakfast permit allows rooms to be rented out on a nightly basis.

MOTION: Vice Chair Murphy moved to approve the class IV Conditional Use Permit for a Bed & Breakfast, Robert Morris, Applicant
SECOND:  Commissioner Anderson
VOTE: The motion carried unanimously.

Kevin Rudd indicated the applicant is requesting that the front setback for the R-1-7.5 Single Family Residential zone be changed from twenty-five feet (25') to twenty feet (20') to allow a larger backyard area.  The TRC (Technical Review Committee) reviewed this and is not opposed to the change.  Chairman Loris opened the Public Hearing.  There being no comments, Chairman Loris closed the Public Hearing.

Chart
Commissioner Anderson inquired about splitting the difference to twenty-two and a half feet (22 1/2') to accommodate a larger vehicle in the driveway.  The Planning Commission discussed varied setbacks in other subdivisions in the City and inquired how the smaller setbacks worked out.  Kevin Rudd clarified that the setback was originally eighteen feet (18') but that was changed to twenty feet (20') because there wasn't a lot of room to park in the driveway.
