PURPOSE: To receive the Planning Board recommendation, close the public hearing, and
make a decision on a Planning Director initiated amendment to the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) regarding temporary health care structures.
BACKGROUND: On August 1, 2014, the North Carolina State Legislature adopted
regulations regarding the permitting of temporary health care structures in the state. These
regulations allow for temporary health care structures, 300 square feet or less, to be
permitted as an a accessory use in any single family residential zoning district on lots zoned
for single family detached dwellings if all the regulatory provisions outlined in Session Law
2014-94 are met. As a result, staff is proposing to modify sections of the UDO to address
the review and permitting of temporary health care structures in order to be consistent with
North Carolina General Statutes.

Review Committee (ORC) meeting. Agenda materials and minutes from that meeting are
