well. This approach was taken to supplement the income of the family member on a more sustainable basis. It should be noted that prior to its operation, the Applicant conferred with the County Planning Department and was informed that the STVR requirement of the Zoning Code did not apply to a "hosted" STVR. Because the Applicant now wants to be in a position to serve breakfast and have greater interaction with its guests, the Applicant would like to operate a B&B consisting of 3 bedrooms instead of a "hosted" STVR. As noted on the site plan, (Figure 3) the B&B would include the 2 bedrooms in the second dwelling (Figure 4), as well as the detached bedroom (approved as a guest house) adjacent to the first dwelling. (Figure 5) The family member living in the first dwelling would not only be the operator of the B&B but continue to operate and maintain the coffee farm. The first dwelling, thus, would functionally be the farm dwelling. The 3-room B&B would operate and be consistent with the criteria for B&B's outlined in the County Zoning Code. Specifically, these would be: 1. The operator will reside on the same building site. The operator will be living on the same site, less than 100 feet from the B&B rooms. 2. The rooms will be both within the single-family dwelling (2) and detached unit (3); 3. The total number of rentable guest rooms would not exceed five (5). There will be only three (3) rentable rooms; 4. The maximum number of guests at any one time would be capped at ten. The total number of guests would be less than ten (10); 5. Only breakfast meals would be offered to the guests. That is the Applicant's intent; 6. There would be a minimum of eight (8) parking stalls available for guests and the operator. While the stalls will not be paved, they will be in areas that have little erosion, mud, and standing water: and 7. Any and all signage will comply with the requirements of Chapter 3 relating to signs. 3
