[4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES – March 6, 2023 ]

YEP. YOU'RE ALL RIGHT. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION HAS BEEN NOTED AND DISTRIBUTED. WE HAVE THE MINUTES FROM MARCH SIX TO APPROVE THEIR ANY COMMENTS WHICH WE APPROVE THE MINUTES SECOND. OKAY.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. I I IN POST NO PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

OKAY. ANYBODY WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE AGENDA? I GUESS I HAVE APPROVAL HERE NOW AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD AND WE HAVE ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS AT ALL ON ANYTHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA. WELL OKAY WELCOME PEOPLE ONLINE . I MEAN ARE THEY. OR ARE THERE PEOPLE THERE'S NO NO, I WOULD THINK THAT. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE ONE ACTION ITEM INVOLVING TAX AMENDMENT CHANGES RECOMMENDATION. SO LET'S GET STARTED WITH THAT . WELL, GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THIS PROJECT AND I THINK MARK IS GOING TO DO A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFTING ON THE DETAILS OF THIS FOR THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

BUT THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS THAT ARE BEING AMENDED BUT THEY CAN THEY COME AS ONE PACKAGE AND THIS BASICALLY ADDRESSES A TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE SEEING.

I WOULD SAY IN LARGE LOTS CONSERVATION MINDED SUBDIVISIONS.

AND SO THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS EXCUSE ME OF TRYING TO HAVE THE MEETING HERE, SIR, YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE A PUBLIC IT'S ONLY PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE OVER. IT'S ONLY GOING TO IT'S IT'S IT'S 603603 WHAT I'M SAYING IS IT'S JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES LATE.

[6. CITIZEN COMMENTS – NON-AGENDA ITEMS]

YOU WANT TO GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK I MEAN I THINK THAT'S YOUR TARGET OF THIS TIME BUT WE'LL GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. YOU HAVE A SUBJECT THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA THAT YOU WANT TO ADDRESS IS I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO IT BUT IT'S I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS. THE TOPICS ARE PRETTY BURNING WERE THE BURNING LAWS THAT ALL RIGHT OKAY DON'T SNAP UP TO THE PODIUM AND GIVE US YOUR YOUR ALL RIGHT SIR PLEASE TELL US NAME YOUR ADDRESS IS FRANK CERULEAN AND SHOW POINT OKAY MY QUESTION IS THE YARD LAWS THAT BASICALLY DON'T EXIST I MEAN MY FATHER I WAS A COLLEGE PROFESSOR.

MY FATHER WAS A ZONING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER AS WELL AS A FIRE CHIEF AND THIS WAS LITERALLY GO BACK TO THE SIXTIES YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO BURN YOUR YARD IN THE FORTIES AND FIFTIES I BELIEVE YOU HAD TO HAVE A STANDARDIZED CONTAINER SO THE CURRENT LAWS ARE ALMOST A CENTURY BEHIND HERE. WHEN I TALK TO WHENEVER I TALK SOMEONE FIRE PERSON THEY'RE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE THAT THESE LAWS HAVE NOT BEEN YOU KNOW UPDATED AND RECENTLY BY THE WAY I CALLED ABOUT BURNING IN THE WOODS NEXT TO AND THE POLICE SAID THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS TO DETERMINE WHETHER LEGAL AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD NO AUTHORITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT SO HAD TO CALL. YEAH HE DID SAY IT WAS ILLEGAL SO THEY'RE SOMETHING ABOUT IT BUT SOUTH CAROLINA ONE OF THE WORST DAYS FOR UNCONTROLLED FIRES AND YOU KNOW THERE'S OTHER THINGS LIKE FILLING IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT THAT'S OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK ON YOUR AGENDA THAT YOU KNOW, THE FEELING IS REALLY NOT REALLY MONITORED FOR TEN FEET. I MEAN, UM AGAIN ALL THIS YOU KNOW, PEOPLE BUILT SOMETHING.

THEY BUILT SOME DIRT AND THAT'S IT AND THEY JUST BUILD AND THERE'S REALLY NO LAWS AGAINST IT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ONLY TEN FEET. I'LL GIVE YOU EXAMPLE IF YOU LIKE IN NEW JERSEY WHERE I'M FROM THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED THE GREAT SWAMP.

IT'S 55 SQUARE MILES RATHER IT'S WITHIN THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA AND IT'S 200 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. BUT IT HASN'T BEEN BUILT ON SINCE 1964 AND IT'S WITHIN AGAIN IT'S BETWEEN TWO OF THE WEALTHIEST COUNTIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND WITHIN NEW

[00:05:01]

YORK THEY COULD MAKE A FORTUNE BUT THEY DON'T BECAUSE AGAIN IT'S IT'S IT'S THEY'RE BEING YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BEING RESPONSIBLE AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS I'VE SEEN I MEAN JUST THE LOUD MUFFLERS HERE THE NO YEARLY INSPECTION OF CARS, NO HELMETS FOR MOTORCYCLE AGAIN STUFF LIKE THIS I CAN'T BELIEVE WHEN I SEE IT BUT MY MAIN MY MAIN GOAL WAS WHY THESE WHY THE AND AGAIN THE FIREMEN AGREE WITH ME ON THIS WHY IS YOUR YARD BURNING YOU STILL? WELL WE CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. I PUT YOUR COMMENTS WHAT WE KNOW AS PART OF OUR VIDEO THAT GOES FORWARD AND WILL BE A MATTER OF RECORD SO THOSE WHO CANNOT PROPERLY ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS WILL AT THAT TIME SORT OF LIKE CONTACT SOMEONE OR IS THERE A CONTACT PERSON THAT HE COULD GO TO OUR MARSHALL OR SOMEONE OF WELL IF WE'RE NOT SURE WE'LL FIND AND WE'VE GOT YOUR NAME AND YOU LEAVE YOUR CONTACT HERE WE'LL AND WE'LL WE'LL FIND OUT A NAME THAT CAN MOVE FORWARD ON YOU. OKAY? YEAH, I GUESS I'M JUST CONCERNED WHY THESE GUYS ARE LITERALLY CENTURY BEHIND.

I I I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF UNINCORPORATED INCORPORATED AREAS AND THANK YOU ALICE.

[7. TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE (CDC): DIVISION 4.2.20 (GENERAL STANDARDS AND LIMITATIONS) TO CLARIFY CONNECTIVITY STANDARDS FOR PRIMARY STRUCTURES REGARDING BUILDING CONNECTIONS; DIVISION 4.2.30 (ACCESSORY/SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT) TO MODIFY ALLOWABLE DENSITY TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ADDITIONAL ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AND TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY FOR AREA OF UNITS; DIVISION 4.1.360 (SHORT-TERM RENTALS) TO MODIFY GENERAL STANDARDS TO ALLOW ONLY A PRINCIPAL DWELLING UNIT OR AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AS A SHORT-TERM RENTAL ON A SINGLE PARCEL]

MR. MERCHANT, YOU'RE BACK. BACK UP. OKAY.

WELL WHAT YOU HAD BEFORE YOU ARE A SERIES OF THREE AMENDMENTS TO THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE CODE THAT ADDRESS SIMILAR TYPE OF OF ISSUE.

AND AS I WAS STATING EARLIER, THIS DEALS WITH A VERY SPECIFIC TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SEE IN LARGE LOTS CONSERVATION AND SUBDIVISIONS AND THE IDEA IS BREAKING UP THE MASS OF A BUILDING. SO YOU HAVE RATHER THAN ONE A PRINCIPAL DWELLING WHICH IS ONE STRUCTURE YOU MAY HAVE THAT BROKEN UP INTO SEVERAL DIFFERENT STRUCTURES CONNECTED BY BREEZEWAY OR COVERED . SO THIS ORDINANCE IS ADDRESSING AN ISSUE WHERE IT HELPS FACILITATE THAT IN ADDITION, SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN 2019 STAFF INITIATED AMENDMENT AND WE BROUGHT TO THE PLANNING THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD THE ORDINANCE A PROVISION FOR GUEST HOUSE AND THEN ALSO PROVISION FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AT THAT TIME STAFF CONCERNS ABOUT A GROWING NUMBER OF SHORT TERM AND SO WE DECIDED TO BRING FORWARD WHAT WE FELT WAS CLOSING A LOOPHOLE AND IN ONLY ONE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT FOR PROPERTY WHAT WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS SOME ADVERSE IMPACT ON THAT THAT IN MANY OF THESE SIMILAR KIND LARGE LOT CONSERVATION YOU HAVE YOU KNOW PEOPLE WERE GUEST HOUSES AS IS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT AND AND SO WE LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND WHAT WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD IS AN OPPORTUNITY SOMEBODY WHO HAS A CERTAIN MINIMUM ACREAGE THRESHOLD TO BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE A SECOND ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT THE THIRD ITEM ADDRESSING THAT CONCERN ABOUT SHORT TERM RENTALS IS TIGHTENING UP LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ONLY ALLOW ONE SHORT TERM RENTAL PER PROPERTY SO THAT ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAD AS STAFF WAS IF YOU OPEN UP ADDITIONAL GUESTHOUSES THEN SOMEBODY COULD MAYBE EVEN UP FRONT LOOK AT A WAY TO KIND OF DEVELOP, YOU KNOW, PRINCIPAL DWELLING, SEVERAL GUEST HOUSES AND THEN HAVE THEM ALL RENTED OUT IN SO WE'RE TRYING ADDRESS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. I'M GOING TO LET MARK DAVIS GO INTO THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT FRAMEWORK.

IT'S KIND OF AN UNUSUAL SET OF AMENDMENTS BUT IT IS ADDRESSING A VERY REAL ISSUE FOR CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS COUNTY AND. SO THAT'S WHY STAFF IS INITIATING THIS AND BRINGING IT FORWARD. ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. WHICH WAS MY QUESTION. SO JUST KIND OF CONTINUOUS AS ROB WAS SAYING IS THAT YOU HAVE THERE'S THREE DIFFERENT SECTIONS HERE.

THEY'RE ALL KIND OF SYNERGISTICALLY WORKING TOGETHER IN TO ACHIEVE A CERTAIN SO WHILE THEY'RE THERE ARE THERE SIMILAR SECTIONS AND THEY'RE SIMILAR THINGS WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS AND CAN TAKE THEM IN ANY ORDER THAT YOU ALL MIGHT LIKE.

[00:10:03]

THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY KIND OF UNDERSTAND THEM TOGETHER. YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS BUT YOU WANT TO KIND OF IN THE STANDPOINT BEING THAT THERE ARE SOME ODDITIES TO THIS AND THERE'S SOME COMPLICATIONS.

I THINK IT'S BEST MAYBE IF I LOVE HOW YOU GUYS KIND OF DRIVE ON THIS AND MAYBE WITH SOME QUESTIONS AND WE CAN JUST GO THROUGH THE LANGUAGE, WE CAN GO THROUGH THE TEXT FIRST ME JUST YOU ALL THIS AND ME TRYING EXPLAIN THIS FOR 10 MINUTES WE CAN PULL UP SOME PICTURES.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE TEXT AND WE CAN JUST JUMP RIGHT INTO IT LIKE WELL WHY DON'T YOU JUMP RIGHT INTO IT WHICH IS IF YOU JUST FOLLOW THE YOU GET THERE I'M ASSUMING YOU WANT US TO TAKE A SINGLE VOTE ON THE THREE PIECES BECAUSE THEY'RE INTEGRATED OR OKAY SO ANYBODY OKAY. DID YOU HAVE QUESTION? I DID.

ARE WE ARE WE OPEN FOR QUESTIONS ON THIS OR DO WE NEED A MOTION YEAH YEAH WELL WELL WE'VE DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO LET MARK PROCEED WITH HIS TEN MINUTE PRESENTATION SORRY I'LL TRY TO KEEP DETAILS AND GIVE US GIVE US A GOOD UNDERSTANDING AND THEN WE'LL SEE HOW CONFUSED WE ARE AND WE'LL ASK QUESTIONS IF WE'RE CONFUSED AT ALL. ONE JUST ONE COMMENT NOT A QUESTION AS YOU GO THROUGH IT IF YOU COULD SORT OF SAY HOW DID THIS GET ON YOUR RADAR SCREEN OR IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHY YOU FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND WHAT WOULD IF IT'S LEFT IN PLACE, WHAT'S THE DISADVANTAGE OF THAT AND WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGES OF GOING FORWARD IF YOU GET BACK IN YEAH AND THROUGH YOUR QUESTIONS I'LL TRY AND BEST I THINK ROB'S OPENING WAS TO TRY TO OPEN THAT UP TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORY SO I'LL JUST KIND OF GO BACK. SO THE COUNTY USED TO ALLOW A GUEST HOUSE AND IT MADE IT REMOVE THAT ALLOWANCE AND THIS WAS KIND OF IN REGARDS TO ITS CONCERN WITH WHEN SHORT TERM RENTALS WERE STARTING TO HEAT UP AND RUNNING SHORT TERM RENTALS.

SO THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE MAIN FOUNDATION POINTS TO THIS BUT IN ADDITION TO IT WHILE LOOKING AT IT REGARDING THE ARCHITECTURE OF STRUCTURES AND SOME OF THE WAY CERTAIN THINGS BUILT ON SOME PICTURES THESE EXAMPLES, THIS ABILITY TO ALLOW THE MASSING OF ONE LARGE STRUCTURE OF A HOUSE KIND OF GET BROKEN UP AND BE CONNECTED WITH ROOFLINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THAT WE AS JURISDICTIONS ALL THROUGHOUT AND THESE ARE ALWAYS DEALT WITH. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE AND WE TALK ABOUT THAT FIRST OR WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT LAST BECAUSE THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE MORE COMPLICATED ONES THAT HELPS PROVIDE WHAT WE CALL CODIFYING THE SITUATION TO GIVE STAFF A VERY CLEAR DIRECTION ON HOW TO ADMINISTER THESE TYPES OF HOMES OR OR WHEN SOMETHING WORKS OR WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK.

SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE GOAL HERE IS PROVIDE CLEAR DIRECTION FOR STAFF EVERY DAY BASIS ON VERY COMPLICATED THINGS THAT MR. AND THEN THAT THE ZONING DEPARTMENT HAS PEOPLE CONSTANTLY COMING THAT DOOR ASKING QUESTIONS BUILDERS TRYING TO BUILD STUFF, ARCHITECTS TO DESIGN STUFF AND WE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE BEST CLEAR GUIDING ON SOME OF THESE MATTERS. THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE THAT I THANK YOU I LOVE THAT.

I THINK GLEN'S QUESTION WENT TO A FURTHER POINT OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE DIDN'T DO THIS? WHAT IS THE DOWNSIDE OF NOT DOING THIS? IT MIGHT GET FOCUSED IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTY ONLY INSTEAD OF IT BEING SOMETHING THAT CAN BE OFFERED COUNTYWIDE THAT WILL START THERE WILL BE A DOWNSIDE OF IT IT TO DO IT THAT WAY IS NOT AS EQUITABLY SHARED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY DON'T DO IT COUNTY ONE WE DON'T PROVIDE THAT CLARIFICATION THAT I JUST DESCRIBED. WE WILL STILL BE DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES COMING IN OUR DOOR MOVING FORWARD WITHOUT THIS VERIFICATION WE WON'T PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A LARGER LOTS TO HAVE WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED JUST AN ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO USE THIS AS DOING UNIT AND WE CLARIFY THAT ONLY ONE OF THESE UNITS COULD BE USED AS A SHORT TERM RIGHT NOW ALL THE UNITS CAN BE USED AS WE COULD BE HELPING GETTING THAT ACHIEVED AS WELL.

OKAY GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. SO LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND START WE'LL JUST RUN THROUGH IT AND THEN YEAH SO WE'LL START WITH THAT LANGUAGE NOW SOMEBODY DOESN'T WORK IN THIS BUSINESS.

DON'T EVEN TRY TO READ IT IN TERMS WE AS STAFF EVEN STRUGGLED HOW TO BEST WORD THIS AND GET IT RIGHT WHILE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE RESULTS AND WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IS YOU KIND OF WRITE AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE FIRST THING AND WHAT YOU DO YOU COME UP WITH THE SCIENTIFIC THEORY AND TRENDS RIGHT? SO WE WERE RIGHT WE'VE COME UP

[00:15:05]

WITH SOMETHING AND THEN WE FIGURE OUT ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PROVE IT.

LET'S SEE HOW SOMEBODY COULD USE IT. LET'S SEE HOW SOMEBODY COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. SO WE CONSTANTLY WENT BACK AND FORTH ULTIMATELY WE ENDED UP AT THIS LANGUAGE HERE, YOU KNOW, TRY TO JUST KIND OF SIMPLIFY IT INTO WHAT IT MEANS FOR SO WHAT THIS IS ACHIEVING APPROACHES UP THEY DIDN'T WANT TO AND THAT'S ONE YEAH OKAY SO TO START LET'S AT WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER AS AN EXAMPLE OF AN ON ENCLOSED ROOFLINE CONNECTION LET'S PUT A VISUAL ON WHAT THIS IS THIS BASICALLY LET'S SAY YOU HAD A HOUSE HERE AND THEN YOU A ANOTHER STRUCTURE HERE THAT'S STILL PART THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE LIKE A MASTER WINDOW THAT COULD RUN ONE OF THESE WHICH IS A ROOF LINE CONNECTION THAT CONNECTS IT AND IT'S STILL CONSIDERED PART OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND IT WOULD SUBJECT TO ALL THE PRIMARY STANDARDS, PRIMARY SETBACKS, HOUSE PLACEMENTS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.

IT PROVIDES FLEXIBLE FOR ARCHITECTS AND IT PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY ON HOW YOU CAN CONSTRUCT AROUND IN THE LAND SOMETIMES A LOT OF LAND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND ARCHITECTS AS YOU DO THIS HELPS KIND OF PRESERVES AND ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURES ON LOTS YOU CAN WORK AROUND TREES A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN YOU HAVE LARGE STRUCTURES THOSE GOING IN CLEARING THE WHOLE AREA, CREATING A FOUNDATION PAD AND CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OBSTRUCTIVE WHEN YOU GIVE THE ABILITY TO KIND OF BRING STRUCTURES UP YOU CAN BE A LITTLE BIT MORE SENSITIVE INTERNALLY. THAT'S THE SAME REASON A LOT OF OUR FORM CODE PUSHES BACK VERY LARGE APARTMENT BUILDINGS SO YOU CAN DO MULTIFAMILY JUST MAKE THEM A LITTLE SMALLER SAME IDEA SO YOU SAY THAT NOT THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE BUT THE ONE THAT'S ATTACHED CURRENTLY IS NOT SUBJECT TO PRIMARY SETBACKS AND ALL THAT OTHER STUFF.

WELL THINGS ARE THINGS ARE PERMANENT AS PRIMARY OR ACCESSORY ACCESSORY.

OKAY SO LIKE ACCESSORIES STRUCTURES IN PRIMARY STRUCTURE SO TYPICALLY YES PRIMARY STRUCTURES HAVE ONE SET OF RULES AND SETBACKS WHEREAS ACCESSORY STRUCTURES A WHOLE NOTHER SET OF RULES OF HOW ARE RIGHT. SO THAT'S HOW WE WOULD LOOKING AT THESE THINGS. SO IF YOU DO YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF FLEXIBILITY PROVIDING PEOPLE TO WORK AROUND THAT BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY TO KIND OF CENTER IT MORE ON THEIR LAND HAVE BIGGER SETBACKS, GET IT OFF THE SIDES AND A LITTLE BIT MORE IN A TYPICAL ACCESSORIES MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET PERMITTED IN PLACE OF THE PROPERTY I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A HOUSE JUST EXACTLY LIKE THIS OKAY LIVE IN A FLOODPLAIN AND FOR PURPOSES OF INSURANCE FOR THE FLOOD I THOUGHT BOTH STRUCTURES WOULD BE CONSIDERED TOGETHER BECAUSE THERE'S OH NO NO NO YOU NEED TO HAVE A FLOOD ELEVATION FOR THE PRIMARY HOUSE AND THE STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO GET FLOOD INSURANCE. I DON'T KNOW HOW PLAYS INTO THIS WHOLE THING BUT THAT'S FLOOD INSURANCE AND HOW THAT WHO THAT THAT'S LET'S NOT GET INTO INSURANCE AT THIS POINT I JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT YEAH. SO YOU COULD GET ASK YOU ABOUT ONE OTHER EXAMPLE IT'S I LIVE NEXT TO A PERSON WHO JUST TURNED THEIR GARAGE INTO AN APARTMENT HABITABLE APARTMENT THEY HAVE COVERED WALKWAY AND WOULD THEY FALL NOW UNDER THE GUIDANCE SAY WELL LET'S GO BACK TO THE LANGUAGE SO LET'S SEE EXACTLY WHAT THE LANGUAGE SAYS . SO EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT .

THERE'S NO ONE SITUATION. SO IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED A PART OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE YOU HAVE TO MEET ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS AS IDENTIFIED IN THIS LANGUAGE IT HAS TO BE FINISHED IN HERE THE BUDGET OF ALL SPACES THAT DOESN'T ALLOW GARAGES BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE GARAGES IN SPACES ABOVE THE GARAGES SO IT MIGHT BE A GARAGE WITHOUT A SPACE OR A GARAGE WITH A SPACE IT MIGHT BE OUT OF GARAGE AND JUST FULLY YOU KNOW YOU FINISH SPACE SO THAT'S WHAT THAT KIND OF LEADS AT THAT ARE CONNECTED THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE WITH A ROOF LINED WALKWAY THAT MEETS BUILDING CODES ALL THIS HAS TO MEET BUILDING CODE THERE'S NO IT'S KIND OF ACTIVE BUT WHAT THAT KIND OF IMAGE WAS SHALL BE CONSIDERED PART OF THEIR PRIMARY STRUCTURE SO THAT'S WHEN THAT KIND OF SETS IT UP THE.

NEXT SENTENCE THEN GOES INTO WHAT I WAS SAYING IS THAT IF YOU DO THIS THEN YOU ARE NOW PART OF THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE AND YOU ARE SUBJECT ALL THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS TYPICALLY GOING TO BE YOUR SETBACKS AND YOUR PLACEMENTS OF YOUR STRUCTURES.

THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THE MIDDLE OF THAT SAYS. JUST TO CLARIFY THAT AND IT KIND OF CLOSES OUT WITH WHAT THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE AND HOW YOU CAN TAKE IT THE WALKWAY CONNECTION TO HAVE A WIDTH OF GREATER THAN TWO OR FOUR FEET SO YOU CAN'T JUST BE LIKE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING A FOOT IT'S GOING TO BE USABLE WIDE SPACE THAT YOU CAN WALK THROUGH AND

[00:20:03]

AS ROOF LINE LIKE THE IMAGE THAT WE SAW BY NOT HAVE IT BE AS FANCY WITH RAFTERS BUT IT'S USABLE IT CAN BE OPEN OR ENCLOSED THAT HAPPENED TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF AN OPEN ONE OR YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND THE NOTICE IN SHOW THE ROOFLINE WELL YOU SEE THE COMBINED LENGTH 30 LINEAR FEET SO WE'LL GET INTO THAT IN A SECOND IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THESE THINGS, WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS IN THE MODELS THAT SO IF WE GO BACK TO THE MIDDLES THAT IS SUBJECT TO PRIMARY STRUCTURE SETBACKS AND OTHER BUILDING PLACEMENTS AND SHALL MATCH A PRIMARY STRUCTURE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND MATERIAL SO IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS SOME BUILDING AND THEN YOU'RE DESCRIBING SOMETHING IT'S A WHOLE LOOKING TYPE OF THING. ALL WE'RE DOING IS PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY AND PROVIDING ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS LITTLE BIT OF MOVEMENT ON HOW THEY CAN PLACE STRUCTURES ON LAND AND SO WHAT ROB SAID TYPICALLY THOSE ARE USED MORE ON LARGER SPACE LARGER LOTS WHERE YOU HAVE ROOM TO SPREAD OUT. YOU KNOW THEY'RE NOT DOING THIS IN SMALLER DEVELOPMENTS YOU DON'T HAVE THE SPACE THIS IS ON LARGER USUALLY CONSERVATION DRIVEN LIGHT TYPE DEVELOPMENTS OR RURAL CHARACTER AREAS SOMEBODY WHO'S TRYING TO DEVELOP TEN 12,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BREAK THEIR THEY'RE BARELY MEETING THEIR PRIMARIES ANYWAY. THEY'RE ALWAYS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE ON THAT.

SO WE WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE ON MORE A LARGER SPACE AND LARGER AREAS THAT HAVE A ROOM TO SO IN ADDITION TO YOU KNOW GOING INTO THE 30 LINEAR FEET SO WHAT THAT IS IS IS THAT SO IT'S GOING TO BE FOUR FEET IN NO DISTANCE CAN IT BE LONGER THAN 30 FEET SO GO CAN WE GET TO END TO SO IN THIS SITUATION HERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE HOME AND IF YOU LOOK ON THE PRIMARY MASSING OF THE MAIN HOME YOU SEE TWO WINGS AND THEN BETWEEN THOSE YOU SEE LIKE LITTLE KIND OF CORRIDORS THOSE WOULD BE LIKE A CONNECTION ON THIS SITUATION LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THEM IS A GARAGE AND ONE OF THEM JUST LOOKS LIKE A ANOTHER BEDROOM OR SUITE.

THE JOKE I SAY AND WE'VE BEEN MAKING THIS WHERE EVERYBODY SENDS IN-LAWS OR THEIR KIDS LET'S GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE . RIGHT? THAT'S WHERE THEY SEND THEM OVER THERE. BUT IN THAT SITUATION WHAT IT WOULD BE IS SO THERE'S TWO OF THEM THERE AND THIS IS IMPORTANT WHERE YOU HAVE TWO WINGS AND THERE'S TWO OF THEM SO WHEN WE SAY A COMBINED LENGTH OF 30 FEET YOU COULD HAVE ONE HOUSE WITH 130 FOOT RUN IN SPACE BUT THEY'VE USED UP THEIR ENTIRE 30 FEET ON THAT ONE AND ONE BECAUSE WE'RE STILL TRYING TO KEEP IT WITHIN AN AREA OR THEY COULD DO IT SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE YOU ONE PRIMARY AND YOU HAVE TWO RUNS LET'S JUST THOSE ARE BOTH 15 FEET THEY'RE BOTH 15 FEET THEY DON'T EXCEED 30 OR THEY COULD HAVE WHERE THEY'RE THREE TENTS. THE POINT IS IS THEY'RE STAYING IT'S KEEPING THEM TOGETHER BUT IT'S ALLOWING THEM TO BREAK UP THE MASSING TO NOT COMBINE THE WALLS AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO KIND OF GOT OFF THE WALLS, GET SOME TREE SAVES.

THEY'RE EITHER OF HELP NEWS WITH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND REALLY YOU KNOW THEY HAVE A BUY RIGHT TO KIND OF DO A HOUSE AND THAT JUST KIND OF CREATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON HOW TO BEST USE THAT LAND IN THAT LOT TO MAXIMIZE USE.

SO THAT'S ALL THIS IS THAT'S WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY BUT IT'S TRYING TO PUT SOME GUARDRAILS ON IT WITH THE LENGTH OF THE 30 FEET REQUIRING THE MINIMUM WIDTH REQUIRING ALL THE STRUCTURES TO MATCH ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN AND MATERIAL AND IT HAS TO MEET ALL THE BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS AND THAT'S KIND OF IT AND SO THAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT YEAH SO LET'S SAY THE PROPERTY IS LARGER IN THIS DIRECTION AND THE GUY'S GOT KID WHO WANTS TO PLAY DRUMS AND HE WANTS THAT ACCESSORY FROG ROOM WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT A LITTLE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE HOUSE WANTS TO GO FURTHER THAN 30 FEET. YOU CAN STILL DO THAT BUT THEN YOU'RE TO BE PERMITTED AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NOW OKAY SO THIS IS JUST DEMONSTRATION OF BEING WHAT WE CALL A PRIMARY AND AN ACCESSORY. OKAY, WE'RE ESTABLISHING RULES OF WHEN YOU'RE STILL CAN BE CONSIDERED A PART OF THAT PRIMARY.

OKAY, GOT IT. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST SENTENCE THAT LANGUAGE IT IT PROVIDES A DIRECTION TO THAT IF THE AND STRUCTURES DO NOT MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS IT SHALL PERMITTED AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AND SUBJECT TO ALL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE STANDARDS.

OKAY. AND YOU COVER EVERYTHING THERE .

OKAY, I GOT IT. YEAH. IS THIS ON? OKAY. YEAH, I WANTED TO ADD THAT WE IN OUR CODE WE LIMIT THE NUMBER OR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. SO IF YOU HAVE A 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE YOU'RE LIMITED TO YOU KNOW THE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL BUILDING SPACE

[00:25:01]

COULD HAVE FOR A SHED OR OTHER ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND THAT'S THIS BECOMES AN ADVANTAGE IF YOU'RE ABLE TO YOU HAVE A SEPARATE STRUCTURE CONNECTED BY THAT'S COUNTING TOWARDS YOUR OVERALL SQUARE FOR YOUR PRINCIPAL DWELLING YOU KNOW SO THAT WOULD BE ADVANTAGE OF DOING IT THIS WAY RATHER THAN HAVING SOMETHING OFF IN A DISTANCE.

SO I SEE THAT NOW BUT WITH WITH LIMITATIONS YOU CAN'T JUST DO THIS AND RUN SOMETHING 100 FEET LIKE IT'S PART OF THE PRIMARY KNOW THAT'S NOT HAPPENING THERE .

YOU KNOW WE'RE STILL WE'RE STILL TRYING TO CREATE PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY IS WHAT ROB IS.

THAT'S HOW THOSE THINGS ARE. PRIMARIES TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES ARE ALWAYS RELATIONSHIP TO SIZE AND PERCENT SO SOMEBODY MIGHT SAY HEY I'M GOING TO DO THIS I CAN BEEF UP MY PRIMARY SQUARE, GIVES ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ROOM ON MY FIVE ACRES TO HAVE SOME MORE FOR MY PERCENT ALLOWABLE FOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES AND GO DO FURTHER ON THE LOT AND GET PERMITTED AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. OKAY.

SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT THIS SECTION THE CODE IS TRYING TO ACHIEVE.

OKAY, WE CAN JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE AND WE COULD USE TO KIND OF QUESTIONS THE WHOLE THING IS COMBINED OR WE CAN JUST FOCUS ON SECTION OR AT THE END OF THE SECTION YOU WANT TO JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD. ALL RIGHT YEAH IT'S GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD.

I JUST WANT TO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION TOO BUT FOR EXISTING CAN CONSTRUCTION IS OUT THERE SOMEONE WHO HAS A HOME AND DECIDES THAT THEY WANTED TO ADD TO IT WOULD STILL FIT UNDER THESE GUIDELINES YOU KNOW SOMEONE HAS A HOME THEY'VE THEY'VE GOT THE ROOM WHERE THEY WANT IT AND NOT THE ACCESSORIES BUT THEY'RE SAYING THEY WANT TO HAVE THIS WALKWAY CONNECTED TO THIS WILL FIT THAT AND THEY WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME CODE AS LONG AS IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. VERY WELL I DON'T SEE WHY IT COULDN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH A SIMILAR THING FOR IT WAS JUST RAW DIRT CONSTRUCTION VERSUS THE EXISTING HOME AND THEN THEY MATCH THE MATERIAL AND THEY DO SOMETHING JUST SAY THEY DO 15 FOOT LITTLE THING AND THEY DO IT AND IT'S ALL WITHIN THE PRIME SETBACKS WHICH ARE NOT SOMETIMES ACCESSORY BUT THEY'RE EASIER. YOU GET MORE ROOM ON YOUR LOT TO DO IT AS ACCESSORY. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE LIKE OH I JUST WANT IT AS ACCESSORY BECAUSE I MIGHT ONLY HAVE A FIVE FOOT SETBACK WHEREAS A PRIMARY MIGHT BE A 25 FOOT SETBACK. GOT IT. SO THERE'S THERE'S YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO DO IT OR YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO IT. IT STILL HAS TO BE BUILDING MODE TO YES YEAH. YES. OKAY THANK SO LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT SECTION AND THIS IS WHERE KIND OF THE SECTION THAT FIRST ONE WAS JUST KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF A INTRODUCTION TO SOME ARCHITECTURE AND SOME MASKING SOME THINGS THAT THE COUNTY AND STAFF AND WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET OUR ON FOR A WHILE THIS YEAR IS GOING BACK TO KIND OF WHAT ROB SAYING IS THAT THE COUNTY USED TO HAVE ON ONE LOT WHERE YOU COULD HAVE THE PRIMARY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT AND A GUEST HOUSE AND THEN THE GUEST HOUSE WAS PULLED FROM THE COUCH. SO NOW CURRENTLY YOU CAN A PRIMARY AND ONE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT SO WHAT IS LOOKING TO ACHIEVE IS THAT IF YOU LOOK UNDER SEA WHICH USED TO BE THE DENSITY WHERE IT READ MAXIMUM OF ONE ACCESSORY DWELLING YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING IN A SINGLE FAMILY RESERVE LOT THAT'S STRICKEN AND NOW IT'S BASICALLY READING THAT YOU CAN HAVE IT AS FOLLOWS YOU CAN HAVE ONE JUST AS WE ARE ALWAYS ALLOWED TO UP TO THREE ACRES.

IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN THREE ACRES YOU ARE NOW PERMITTED TO HAVE TWO BUT IT ALSO THAT IN NO INSTANCE JUST BENEATH THAT SO THEN WE HAVE WHERE YOU'VE GOT THIS KIND OF GOING BACK TO THAT QUESTION ABOUT PRIMA'S ACCESSORIES, THE RELATIONSHIPS AND THEIR SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THEIR SIZES SO IT ALL BALANCES OUT THE AREA OF THE UNIT AND SPEAKS TO COMBINED SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THOSE TWO USE AND ITS RELATION SHIP TO THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE THAT THEY CAN NOT EXCEED IT. SO IF YOU HAD A 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE AND YOU CAN HAVE 280 USE, YOU CAN HAVE TWO 1000 FOOT AREAS OR JUST SHY OF ONE. SO THAT'S OF WHAT THAT SECTION IS REGION SO REALLY WHAT WE'RE REINTRODUCING IS REINTRODUCING ALLOW ABILITY OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CARRIAGE HOUSE BUT INSTEAD OF HAVING TWO MOVING PARTS WE'RE JUST WE'RE JUST BRINGING BACK IN TO YOU AND WE'RE JUST HAVING IT AS AN ACREAGE REQUIREMENT BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WAS ANY REQUIREMENT BEFORE WAS JUST RIGHT.

SO WE BELIEVE IT'S BEING MORE RESPONSIBLE BY HAVING ACREAGE REQUIREMENT AND SO THAT MEANS QUESTION PEOPLE I KNOW IN ONE ISLAND COMMUNITY THEY BUILD GUEST HOUSES SOMETIMES BEFORE THEY BUILD THE PRIMARY HOUSE AS A MEANS OF YOU KNOW JUST TEMPORIZING THE RELOCATION AND SETTING UP THAT WAY THAT WOULD BE AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNDER THE OLD CODE BUT UNDER THE NEW CODE IF THEY WERE WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE IT CAN BE PART OF THE MAIN

[00:30:06]

STRUCTURE CORRECT? OTHERWISE THEY'VE ALREADY BUILT THE GUEST HOUSE NOW THEY WANTED MAKE IT PART OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE LONG AS IT WAS UNDER THE PRIMARY SETBACKS WHICH IT PROBABLY WAS IF IT WAS BUILT FIRST THEY COULD GO BACK AND COMBINE IT AND MEET THIS CONNECTED MATCH IT AND IT WOULD JUST BE PART OF THE PRIMARY IF THEY HAD MORE ROOM THEN THEY COULD GO BUILD AN 80 SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE LOT. OKAY BUT AGAIN THIS IS ALL FOR THIS LARGE STUFF. THIS IS RURAL LARGE LOFT OF THINGS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. OKAY. SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN OF SEE RIGHT THERE ABOUT JUST THE IDEA OF THREE ACRES YOU ALLOWED ONE IF YOU HAVE ONE THREE ACRES NOW YOU GET TWO AND WE THINK THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR.

MY QUESTION IS DOES THIS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DISCOUNT OR CHANGE ANY OF THE REGULATIONS UNDER FAMILY COMPOUND SO THIS IS BECAUSE FAMILY COMPOUNDS REALLY ARE TEND TO BE SMALLER HOUSES OR HOMES OR YOU KNOW THIS IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE OF THAT.

SO BUT IT DOESN'T CREATE ANY CONFLICT WITH THAT. I MEAN THIS SEEMS VERY CLEAR TO ME YEAH, NO IT DOES NO. SO THEN IN THE IN THE STANDPOINT OF D ONE SO HERE WHAT YOU HAVE THERE IS THAT THERE'S REALLY IN ROB I MIGHT HAVE ROB JUMP IN ON THIS ONE A LITTLE BIT IS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO THE PREVIOUS LANGUAGE RECALLED BACK IS THAT YOU COULD YOU HAD A SIZE LIMITATION OF 1000 SQUARE FEET SO NOW WHAT IT'S DOING IS IS WITHIN THE T TWO AND ALL CONVENTIONAL ZONES WHERE YOU HAD 2000 IT'S SAYING OR SHALL BE A CARRIAGE HOUSE BUILDING TYPE AND IT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE TYPE WHICH IS KIND OF THE FORM CODE IT'S GOT ARCHITECTURE REQUIREMENTS IT'S MORE DRIVEN BY A FOOTPRINT AND ,LESS BY A SQUARE FOOTAGE SO THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THERE. SO YOU CAN GO OFF OF A NUMBER OR YOU CAN GO OFF A STYLE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR PEOPLE. IT'S ALL IT'S PROVIDING AND WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING. ANYBODY FINDS MORE OPTIONS AND THEN THE YOU KNOW, IN ALL THE TRANSECT ZONES AS I SEE THAT THAT WAS ALREADY THERE SO WE JUST TOOK WHAT WAS IN TWO ABOUT THE CARRIAGE HOUSE AND JUST ADDED IT INTO ONE TO PROVIDE THERE AN OPPORTUNITY THE SIZE THAT BASED OFF OF THE FOOTPRINT IF YOU HAD A ONE AND TWO STOREY IF ALLOWED YOU COULD GET A LARGER THAN 1000 SQUARE FEET. SO THAT'S PART OF IT SO YOU COULD DO THE 1000 OR YOU COULD GO WITH THAT STYLE AND GET LITTLE BIT LARGER OF A UNIT BUT YOU'RE STILL GOING TO BE REGULATED. I WOULD SAY GO BACK TO AREA OF UNIT WHERE WE TALKED ABOUT ITS RELATIONSHIP THE PRIMARY SO WE CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN AT SOME IN TIME YOU'RE GOING TO HIT THE CEILING SO JUST PROVIDE SOME OPPORTUNITY OF THE CARRIAGE HOUSE TYPE IN THAT AREA THAT'S ALL IT IS IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY IN THE CODE WE JUST PUT IT IN THAT SECTION AS WELL AND THEN UNDER H RENTAL IT'S JUST THAT LANGUAGE IS IN THERE ACCESSORY DWELLING IT SHOULD NOT BE LEASED OR RENTED TENANTS LESS THAN 30 CONSECUTIVE DAYS THAT WAS KIND OF IN THERE PRETTY SHORT TERM RENTAL AS YOU ALL KNOW WE ADOPTED SHORT TERM RENTALS.

SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE NOW WE HAVE ADDED UNLESS APPROVED FOLLOWING THE PROCESS FOR TERM RENTALS JUST TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR IN THAT SECTION. SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT FOR ABOUT 230 FOR THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS IS IN THERE IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS IN THAT MY QUESTION ALWAYS ON H AND WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE IS YOU KNOW ENFORCEMENT AND CODES PEOPLE I MEAN IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE WHAT YOU CAN DO IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE YEAH WE GOING TO WRITE ALL THE RULES LAWS AND RULES IN THE WORLD IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT RIGHT? SO THIS IS A GROWING ISSUE OF SHORT TERM RENTALS. YEAH, BIG, BIG ISSUE KIND OF CONTROLLING WHAT WE HAVE WE LEASE WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAT DOES NOT MEAN PEOPLE ARE TO FOLLOW THEM SHORT TERM RENTAL AT OUR P PROPERTY. OKAY THERE IS IS SHORT TERM RENTAL PROPERTY DRP AND THE WORD PROPERTY AND PRETTY AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL AND THAT'S IMPORTANT RENTAL PROPERTY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AS ARE THE P TEMPORARY THEN WE'LL MAKE A RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT AND AGAIN I'D SAY IN I IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I CAN IMMEDIATELY POINT OUT FIVE WHERE THEY'RE RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND TRAVEL TRAILERS FOR SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND THEY ARE USED AS ACCESSORIES SO I GUESS I CALL ENFORCEMENT YEAH I MEAN THAT'S THEY'RE OUT THERE ALL THE TIME YEP FULL TIME JOB COUNTY NEEDS TWICE AS AS WE GOT THAT'S YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THINK. OKAY SO IS THERE ANY YOU KNOW I JUST WANT TO I KNOW THIS WE GET

[00:35:08]

ON THIS OR WHERE DO WE WANT TO MOVE ON THIS MAKES SENSE I THINK YEAH YEAH OKAY AND THEN THIS ONE THIS ONE SUPER EASY REALLY. YEAH.

HERE THIS IS WHERE WE THIS KIND OF GOES BACK TO WHERE ROB WAS SAYING WE HAD THE GUEST HOUSE AND ALL THAT. IT KIND OF RAD YOU KNOW, LEGALLY PERMITTED THAT THAT THAT EVEN THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE SAME PROPERTY REGARDING WHETHER IT BE A PRINCIPAL OR THE ACTU SO TECHNICALLY WHAT THIS IS DOING NOW IS BEING THAT WE'RE ALLOWING ADDITIONAL TO TO BE ENTERED WE'RE ALLOWED TO BE PERMANENT ON PROPERTY WE'RE PUTTING IN HERE THAT YOU CAN'T IT'S NOT JUST UNLIMITED 80 USE ON PROPERTIES YOU CAN HAVE THEM YOU CAN GO THROUGH THE PROCESS BUT YOU GET IT'S GOT TO BE EITHER ONE THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THAT IS ACHIEVING AND I WOULD ADD TO THIS THAT ACCESSORY UNITS ARE OFTEN THEY'RE KIND COUCH AS THE TERM OF A TYPE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE IT'S AN APARTMENT IN WHICH ARE OFTEN SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS AND MINUTE YOU START CONVERTING THOSE ADU USE IN INTO SHORT TERM RENTALS YOU'RE COMPLETELY IF ANYTHING YOU'RE YOU'RE ONLY ADDING TO THE PROBLEM FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO THIS I THINK THIS KIND OF IT LIMITED TO ONE SO IT MEANS IF YOU YOU KNOW IF YOU DID HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE AND YOU CREATED AN ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT IN A WAY THAT BECOMES A SOURCE OF FOR THE FOR YOU KNOW, THE PERSON WHO LIVES IN THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING KIND OF DONE SPECULATIVELY, RIGHT TO ALLOW AS MANY SHORT TERM RENTALS.

YEAH. I MEAN THIS IS THIS IS AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME FLEXIBILITY AS WE'RE ADDING IN USE OF LAND BUT WE'RE WE'RE SAYING BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THIS, BE RESPONSIBLE WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE'RE LOOKING AT MORE OF THE USE OF LAND AND THAT'S KIND OF WHERE ALL OF THESE KIND OF WORK TOGETHER TO KIND OF PROVIDE SOME SOME OPPORTUNITY BUT LIMITATIONS IN ADDRESS OPPORTUNITIES POSSIBLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN CERTAIN AREAS, QUESTIONS I WANT TO DO YOU FEEL THAT THIS PARTICULARLY GENERAL STANDARDS LINES UP WELL AND WOULD YOU CALL WITH MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES ABOUT THE FEES AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS I KNOW THE LOT TONIGHT IS REALLY DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT BUT IS THERE A WAY I MEAN IS THE COUNTY WOULD THE COUNTY BE PERCEIVED AS BEING MORE FLEXIBLE THAN IN THEIR IN THIS NEW LANGUAGE OR LESS OR IT'S APPLES AND ORANGES, YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO SPEAK BECAUSE I THINK LIKE GOING BACK TO THE SHORT TERM RENTALS HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE WHERE THEY'RE CAPS, HOW THERE'S USES THINGS BUT FOR THE FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE COUNTY'S PURPOSE I CAN TELL THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. YEAH.

IN REGARDS TO IF YOU AGREE WITH THE OTHER TWO THINGS THE TIME THE QUESTION AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE ALWAYS WRESTLE WITH IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOW THE MUNICIPALITIES DO THINGS IN THE CODE VERSUS THE COUNTY DESIGN AND I THINK. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BLEND SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T CONFUSED OF YOU KNOW WHAT, I LIVE IN THE COUNTY, I LIVE IN THE AREA SO I CAN DO IT HERE. I CAN'T DO HERE AND YOU GET INTO ALL THOSE ARGUMENTS.

SO I THINK MY GUESS I'M GOING TO ASK DID YOU DO REVIEW OF WHAT THE MUNICIPAL AND COUNTIES ARE DOING BEAUFORT COUNTY AS REGARDS TO THESE PARTICULAR STANDARDS FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS? WELL FOR THE WHOLE THING WELL I DON'T THIS THIS I'M GOING TO PUSH BACK A LITTLE BIT. OKAY. MUNICIPALITY AND COUNTY STAFF THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODELS. IT'S CORRECT? WE'RE NOT IN THE MUNICIPAL BUSINESS WE'RE IN THE COUNTY BUSINESS FOR THE UNINCORPORATED COUNTY BUSINESS OUR CODE SHOULDN'T BE A MUNICIPAL CODE OTHERWISE WE'D BE LIKE A MUNICIPALITY. WE NEED TO PROVIDE AREAS OF WE HAVE TRANSECTS NEAR THEM.

WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE MUNICIPALITIES ANNEX WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE.

I WISH OF COURSE WE HAD STATE LAWS THAT REQUIRE THEM TO FOLLOW OUR COUNTY CONFERENCE PLAN. THAT'S A STATE ISSUE YOU GUYS HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT THAT BUT LET'S NOT DO THAT TONIGHT. BUT IN REGARDS TO US COMPARING OURSELVES MUNICIPALITIES ON EVERY ISSUE, I DON'T THINK THAT'S I DON'T THINK THAT'S PLANNING.

I THINK IT I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE SOMETIMES BUT NOT WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THINGS THAT ARE OFTENTIMES RELATED TO WHAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT OR TYPICALLY LARGER LOT STYLE TYPE STUFF AS MUNICIPALITIES ARE. I MEAN THERE COULD BE BUT THEY'RE USUALLY SMALLER, LOTS MORE DENSE, MORE URBAN STYLE DEVELOPMENT.

BEAUFORT COUNTY HAS A TRANSIT CODE WHICH IS THE BEST THING THAT YOU COULD DO TO ALIGN

[00:40:04]

YOURSELF CLOSER TO COUNTY MOST COUNTIES DON'T HAVE THAT THOSE COUNTIES SAY WE'RE IN THE THIS GAME. IF YOU WANT URBAN DENSITIES GO TALK TO THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY AND HAVE THEM SERVE YOU. YEAH, I'LL TO THAT YOU MENTIONED APPLES AND ORANGES AND I THINK THAT'S ALSO CASE BECAUSE THE CITY OF BEAUFORT TOWN OF PORT ROYAL REGULATE SHORT TERM RENTALS VERY DIFFERENTLY AND IN HILTON HEAD IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF COMMUNITY AS WELL. I MEAN THEY'RE YOU KNOW A RESORT COMMUNITY SO YOU KNOW THIS IS REALLY BUILDING OFF OUR EXISTING POLICIES THAT WE ADOPTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO THIS IS JUST KIND OF CLOSING LOOPHOLE FOR FOR YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MIGHT OPEN UP IN TERMS OF INTRODUCING A NEW ADDITIONAL ACCESSORY DWELLING THIS WAS JUST A STAFF LOOKING THAT'S GOING TO IT DOES WHAT NOW AND NOW WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER WELL LET'S JUST FIX THAT NOW SO THAT'S THAT'S ALL THIS IS DOING . ALL RIGHT.

ARE THERE ANY FINAL QUESTIONS? CAN I ASK FOR A MOTION ON? THE PROPOSED REVISIONS I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL OF THESE TEXT AMENDMENTS WITH THE ONE SINGLE AMENDMENT TO THE ENDING OF THE WORD PROPERTY. YES OR YOU CAN EITHER DO PUT THE WORD PROPERTY IN OR YOU COULD DO LIKE YOU DID ON 4.1.36 YOU JUST SAY S.T.A.R.T. AND DON'T SAY TERM RENTAL.

YOU KNOW WHAT JUST ADD THE WORD PROPERTY YOU KNOW EITHER WAY WORKS SO DO WE STATE THAT APPROPRIATELY IN TERMS WELL IS THE MOTION AS WELL? FIRST I WOULD RECOMMEND USING THE WORD DON'T SAY THE WORD EXCEPT I WOULD RECOMMEND APPROVAL SORRY WITH YOU KNOW TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL YOU CAN READ THE SUBJECT LINE IF YOU WANT TO WITH THE AMENDMENT I MOVE WE ACCEPT THE TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE AS STATED SECTION SEVEN AND NOT WELL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IT. I CAN'T I CAN I CAN IT WOULD JUST BE RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL. YEAH YOU KNOW ALL WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A RECOMMEND IF WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO DO WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL WITH ADDITION OF THE WORD PROPERTY. YEAH, GO AHEAD. DO IT.

WE'LL LET YOU DO IT MORE TIME WE RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL. GO AHEAD.

WHAT AM I APPROVING? YEAH, I'LL JUST CLARIFY. YOU KNOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS COUNTY COUNCIL AND I THINK THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE'RE KIND OF , YOU KNOW, PASSING WHEN YOU'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION.

YEAH YEAH YEAH I'M I'M I'M I'M PRETTY SURE RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL THE TEXT AMENDMENTS TO SECTION FOUR POINT TO POINT TO POINT E STANDS FOR FREESTANDING ABSENCE REMOTE INSTRUCTION SECTION 4.2.3 OF ACCESSORY SLASH SECONDARY DWELLING UNIT WITH THE AMENDMENT TO SECTION H OF THE WORDING AND SECTION 4.1.3 CIVIL POINT C GENERAL STANDARDS YEAH GOOD.

THAT'S PERFECT. SOUNDS GREAT. YEAH, I REALLY HAVE 2 SECONDS.

LET'S JUST SEE IF WE GET A SECOND. DO WE HAVE SECOND? WE HAVE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION RAISE YOUR HAND AND IT'S UNANIMOUS. MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU ANYWAY YOUR EXPLANATION. YES. WHETHER IT WAS JUST WHAT WE NEED WE'RE WELL THAT'S VERY WELL DONE AND APPRECIATE THE VISION YOU GUYS HAD ON THIS TO SORT OF CLOSE THE BARN DOOR AFTER THE HORSES YEAH YEAH THAT'S ALL RIGHT WE'RE WE'RE NOT I UNDERSTAND NOT GOING TO BE DOING IT WHEN YOU REVIEW AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BUT IT'S GOING TO BE COMING ATTRACTIONS FOR THE NEXT MONTH YES AND I'LL WATCH THE VIDEO ON PROCRASTINATION. YEAH. MAYOR, IN ROB'S DEFENSE HE'S BEEN EXTREMELY BUSY. WE KNOW THAT. WE KNOW THAT.
