In no event shall [such] the amortization or phasing out of <br /> nonconforming uses apply to any existing building or premises used for <br /> residential (single-family or duplex) or agricultural usesjj; provided <br /> that uses that include the furnishing or offering of transient <br /> accommodations shall not be considered residential or <br /> agricultural uses and may be phased out or amortized in any <br /> zoning district by county zoning regulations; provided further <br /> that a zoning ordinance may provide that transient <br /> accommodations may be furnished to a transient for a period <br /> of less than one hundred eighty consecutive days. <br /> The Planning Director wrongfully approved the SMA exemption for PL-SAA- <br /> 2025-000280 after the May 3, 2024 effective date of Act 17. <br /> Specifically, the Director erroneously overlooked the following facts: <br /> (1) The building and/or the premises used for transient accommodations at 14 <br /> Oeoe St. is neither a residential use under state law, §46-4(a) (2024), nor <br /> an existing "single-family residence" under Planning Commission Rule 9- <br /> 4(u), definitions: <br /> Single-Family Residence" means a detached building designed for <br /> and/or used as the complete facility for cooking, sleeping and <br /> living area of a single family only and occupied by no more than <br /> one family. Single family residences may include uses or <br /> structures normally considered accessory to the single family <br /> facilities provided that any such uses or structures are situated <br /> on the same lot or building site and are in compliance with all <br /> requirements of any county or state regulation, statute, or <br /> ordinance. A single family shall include all persons living in a <br /> dwelling related by blood, marriage or by adoption or a group <br /> comprised of not more than five persons not related by blood, <br /> marriage or by adoption. (emphasis added). <br /> (2) The additions proposed by PL-SAA-2025-000280 are not "repair, <br /> maintenance, or interior alterations" because they are additions to the <br /> footprint of the structure and "new." <br /> (C) How the decision appealed from was arbitrary and characterized <br /> by an abuse of discretion or clearly unwarranted exercise of <br /> discretion: <br /> The Planning Director's decision appealed from was directly contrary to the <br /> findings and purpose of Ordinance 2018-114, as well as Chapter 205A. <br /> 7 <br />
