e e COMMENTS ON BED AND BREAKFAST. March 19, 1992 {r Inns are big business - Bed and Breakfast in homes is very small business. Inns take biq bucks - Bed and breakfast don't. A Bed and Breakfast Inn and a Bed and Breakfast in you home are entirely two different things. A Bed and Breakfast is a home with one room and maybe two rooms for one night. In fact it would be used like friends spending the night. It is more usually used by older people or people without children. It is not a Hotel or an Inn. If it is truly a hotel how can you limit the stay of any individual and why would you want to? It is in fact a small business located in a resident for the use of travelers who do not want to stay in an Inn or Hotel. It is for those who want to spend a day or two in a nice ~eighbo+hood and meet the kind of people in that town. An Inn is a type of Hotel. An Inn is large i usually with a restaurant, with many bed rooms, rooms for meetings and possibly business sessions. Also they have a bar or recreation areas of sorts. Special Condition Use Permit should be allowed for R-1, R-2, and R-3. Areas to be considered should be along the Bay or areas befitting the purpose and not in a sUbdivision. Number of guest rooms should be maximum of two, by reservation only and there should be off street parking. Owner should live in Bed and Breakfast facility at all times. Building and fire codes should be followed. Health codes should be enforced. No person should be allowed to operate or own more than one Bed and Breakfast facility. We don't need to get this all tangled up and confusing like the sign ordinance has become. Signs should be placed very nicely in the yard and not on any other locations. Facili ties will be advertized in magazines or newspapers. "'--
