It is the purpose of this chapter to establish regulations for the location, use, parking, signing and processing of applications for permits to operate bed and breakfast inns.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

"Bed and breakfast inn," means an owner or manager-occupied residence wherein a room or rooms are rented for the purpose of providing overnight accommodations for paying guests for a period not to exceed one week per individual rental, with not more than one meal to be provided daily, the entire service offered to be included in one stated price.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

A bed and breakfast inn may be permitted after issuance of a conditional use permit within all zones except M-1 and M-2 industrial zones and the RCS zone; and, further provided, a bed and breakfast inn within a residential zone shall not exceed four (4) rental units.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

A.

A conditional use permit shall be required for any bed and breakfast inn in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 16.44.

B.

One off-street parking space shall be provided for each rental room or unit, in addition to the existing requirements for off-street parking for the occupying owner or manager. No such parking area shall be established within the front building setback for such parcel. In addition thereto, there shall be one additional parking place provided for each employee who is not the occupying owner or manager of such parcel. All such off-street parking spaces and access driveways thereto shall be paved with asphalt or other acceptable all-weather surfacing. The owner or manager shall require all tenants and employees to utilize such off-street parking.

C.

Signs for any bed and breakfast inn within any residential zone shall be affixed to the structure and shall not exceed four (4) square feet in size. Signs for any bed and breakfast inn not within a residential zone shall be erected, constructed and maintained in accordance with Title 13 of this code. Self-illuminated signs are not permitted. External illumination of signs may be permitted, provided, however, when reflectors, lights or spotlights are used, they shall be installed and maintained so as to concentrate their illumination upon the sign face and shall not cause glare upon the street or adjacent private property.

D.

All applications for a conditional use permit shall be submitted by the owner of the property and shall be accompanied by the following:

1.

A site plan depicting all existing and proposed structures, all existing and proposed off-site improvements, off street parking and driveway access, all immediately adjacent properties and improvements, sign details and proposed locations and such photographs or drawings as may be necessary to adequately review the proposed project.

2.

In addition thereto, the Planning Commission may require the review and recommendation of the Historic District and Landmarks Commission on any structure located within the Historic District. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive any other review or approval otherwise required by this code in the event such building or structure is located within the historical district of the City of Yreka.

E.

Any building or parcel used for a bed and breakfast inn shall comply with any and all applicable health, safety and fire rules, regulations, statutes or codes pertinent thereto. Meal preparation shall not be allowed within guest rooms or units.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

Upon reasonable notice, any bed and breakfast inn may be inspected during normal business hours by the building inspector, health department inspector or fire chief of the City of Yreka to assure compliance with the provisions of this ordinance or any other applicable rules, regulations, statutes or codes.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

In all residential zones, a conditional use permit granted pursuant to this chapter shall prohibit the use of such facility for any other commercial use of the applicant's property. Any signs erected for a prior use of any such facility shall be removed as a condition to the issuance of the conditional use permit. Within all residential zones, the conditional use permit shall prohibit the expansion of any existing residential structure so as to provide or allow additional rental units unless approved by the Planning Commission.

(Ord. 775 (part), 2004).

A.

A conditional use permit granted in accordance with the terms of this chapter shall be automatically revoked if not used within one year from the date of approval of such permit.

B.

In the event any building or parcel used for a bed and breakfast inn is not used or maintained in strict accordance with the terms of the conditional use permit, the provisions of this chapter, or any other applicable provision of this code or law or regulation applicable thereto, the Planning Commission may institute proceedings for the revocation of said conditional use permit in accordance with the provisions of § 16.44.050. In addition thereto, upon review and recommendation by the City Manager of any complaint filed with the city by any person affected by the use, operation and maintenance of said bed and breakfast inn affecting the health, safety and compatibility of said use as to adjacent or affected properties, the Planning Commission shall institute proceedings in accordance with the provisions of § 16.44.050. Any such conditional use permit shall be revoked if the Planning Commission finds that the use and maintenance thereof substantially interferes with the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjacent properties. In lieu of revocation of any such conditional use permit, the Planning Commission may impose additional conditions for the use, operation and maintenance of any such bed and breakfast inn so as to assure the health, safety and compatibility of such use to adjacent properties.
