" Zoning File #1017 June 2, 1986 Page 3 of 7 sleeping accomodations are furnished to the public as regular rooms, for periods of one week or more, and provide no morp, than 7 guest rooms to the public". Hennepin County would require a license :or such use and conduct annual inspections of the facility. Prior to the issuance of a building permit by the City, Hennepin County's Environmental Health Specialist must renew and approve all plans for B&B facilities. The State Fire Marshall will inspect the premises to ,ssure that all State Fire Code Standards are upheld. the facility must be approved by the Fire Marshall before it is open to the public. As the B&B will not provide meals, the more restrictive standards for the licensing of the kitchen facilities is not required by the Board of Health or Hennepin County. In 1985 Council directed staff to draft an amendment of the zoning code that would allow B&B use as a conditional use permit rather than as a permitted use requiring a license. The City Attorney advised that licensing would not address the land use concerns of such a use. A conditional use permit can be "as restrictive as the City wants". A conditional use permit can be reviewed at specified times - controls can be best assured as conditions of approving resolutions rather than as a permitted use under licensing.
