Mr. Zendo Kern, Director March 30,2024 Page 2 experience managing and operating a B&B and none with an inn,they felt that a B&B would enable them to better fulfill their objective. At the same time,knowing that while they could manage but still have someone live and operate the B&B,they felt that the operator would be attractive to a family instead of a couple or individual. The dwelling has three(3) bedrooms in a tower like structure that provides somewhat of a physical separation from the original 5-bedroom dwelling. In so doing and in a small way,they felt that having a family operate the B&B could help address some of the housing issues that have plagued the State. Finally,because all improvements for a 5-room B&B are in,the Applicants would like to continue operating the B&B without having to possibly undergo additional permitting and/or improvement requirements. Converting the B&B into an inn could result in a different"Use Classification" according to the Uniform Building Code,which could trigger the need to comply with ADA and other related requirements. Further, although not planned, because an inn would allow full meal service,there is the possibility of having to address added requirements of the State Department of Health. COMPLIANCE WITH ZONING CODE: The maximum 5-room B&B would also operate and be consistent with the criteria for B&Bs as outlined in the County Zoning Code. Specifically,these would be: 1. The operator will reside on the same building site. The Applicants will have an operator,preferably one with a family,who will live within the dwelling. 2. The two (2)additional rooms will be within the existing single-family dwelling; 3. The total number of rentable guest rooms would now be five(5), which is within the maximum of five (5)rooms; 4. The maximum number of guests at any one time would be capped at ten(10), which is within the maximum of ten(10)guests; 5. Only continental-style breakfast meals would be offered to the guests; 6. There would be a minimum of five(5)parking stalls available for guests in a gravel compacted area. The site, however, can accommodate at least eight (8) cars. 7. Any and all signage will comply with the requirements of Chapter 3 relating to signs.
