Conditional Use Permit for a Temporary Structure
General Location:

Parcel Key Number:
1356286
Summary of Applicant’s Request:
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow the use of a temporary structure on the property in the form of an auxiliary modular building.
The proposed structure will be connected to the existing residence, which is also a modular/mobile home, by means of a deck connection.
The applicant has indicated that the request is necessary due to:
(1) the owner’s disability and the need for additional on-site family support;
(2) the proposed structure would provide living accommodations for family members assisting with the care of the applicant and the four (4) children residing at the property; and
(3) the fact that the existing residence alone does not provide adequate living space to accommodate the household’s needs.
According to Appendix A, Article I, Section 3, Paragraph 129 of the Hernando County Code of Ordinance, a “structure” is defined as “any combination of materials fabricated to fulfill a function in a fixed location on the land includes buildings and signs.”

FINANCIAL IMPACT
