There are two types of bed and breakfast uses defined in this Land Development Code, a bed and breakfast and a bed and breakfast inn. A bed and breakfast is permitted in certain residential areas and intended to be residential in nature. Any slight diversion from the bed and breakfast parameters will change a residential use to a commercial use. A bed and breakfast inn is intended for commercial districts only. Therefore, there can be no variance from the regulations specific to a bed and breakfast. Such a variance will alter the use of the property and thus require a change in the zoning district. The regulations that list requirements for both types of bed and breakfast uses are as follows: (A)   Bed and breakfast (residential).    (1)    Limited to no more than seven rental units consisting of sleeping and sanitary accommodations, and one dwelling unit to be owner occupied. (2)    The owner is required to live on premises and agree to make available proof of residency.

(4)    Under no circumstances will an alcoholic beverage license be issued. (5)    No less than one off-street parking space per rental unit, and a minimum of two parking spaces for the owner. (6)    A buffer is required with a minimum height of six feet within each of the side and rear yard setbacks. (7)    One on-premises sign, not to exceed 12 square feet, may either be posted on the structure or on a post. A post sign may not exceed a height of six feet from the highest point of the sign.
