1 I I i i I i JACKSON: It's currently zoned agricultural. So, these are not commercial structures, these are probably farm dwellings and some outbuildings related to agriculture. CLARKSON: Thank you. i JACKSON: Uh huh and then let's see the second part of your requests or your question about landscape buffers and sound attenuation. So, the only land use I'm aware of in the zoning code that requires sound attenuation is veterinary clinics when they're doing overnight boarding. The Director does have some discretion, but we don't typically condition sound attenuation for commercial structures because the assumption is if there's adjacent lands that are also zoned commercial you wouldn't have to buffer noise for similarly zoned properties. As far as the landscape buffer the zoning code, as well as the Planning Department landscape rule lays out the minimum buffers required for commercial zoning adjacent to residential zoning. So, they would have to comply with that buffer requirement for landscaping and a lot of times in situations like this where you have an existing forest or existing vegetation that's well-established folks will just leave natural landscape buffer around their properties to comply with code. CLARKSON: Thank you. KERN: Just really quick to add on to that Commissioner Clarkson. The State Department of Health also regulates the sound decibel levels for the various uses from residential to commercial to Ag, so there is that component there as well. I'm not sure, maybe since we're talking about landscaping and setbacks. I just want to make a clarification it was stated earlier that new codes or that were put into place required greater setbacks or bulldozing of those and to my knowledge there is no such thing as that. There was a new Building Code that was adopted,but as far as the setbacks and the current codes they haven't changed, and no one is required to bulldoze their setbacks. They could leave those however they wanted to leave it,but there is a requirement for the setback against the property just wanted to ride that clarification to anybody watching. Thanks. RAFFIPIY: A question Mr. Chairman. REPLOGLE: Yes, Mr. Raffipiy please. RAFFIPIY: Staff, can you define hosted vacation rental again, please. Who's the host? COOK: So, the host of a hosted rental it could either be the landowner themselves or it could be someone that they have appointed to care take the property, as well as attend to the needs of the guests. So, an employee or the owner themselves. RAFFIPIY: Okay, all right. Okay, because I understand there were discussion it was the property owner and, in your presentation, you said resident manager. So, I just wanted to make sure that we're covered. Thank you. 7 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
