Footnote: (1) For single-family dwellings and accessory structures, the district development standards shall be the same as those contained in Section 13.10.323 pertaining to residential districts and shall further be based on the size of the parcel for purposes of applying Section 13.10.323(b).

limited temporary occupancy: 3,650 user days/matrix unit





limited temporary occupancy/day use only: 10,950 user days/matrix unit
2. Density Calculations
(i) A Visitor Accommodations (VA) Unit shall not exceed 4 rooms, one of which is a bathroom, one of which may be either a kitchen or an additional bathroom, and not exceeding 600 square feet overall. A studio with bath and kitchenette counts as 3/4 unit.
(ii) Habitable Room is any room in a VA unit which can be used for sleeping accommodations, including living rooms, but not including bathrooms and kitchens. A unit over 400 square feet in total square footage, including bathrooms and kitchens, creates a presumption of more than one habitable room.
(iii) Combining Types of VA Facilities. Types of visitor accommodations may be combined; however, combined densities may not exceed the maximum allowed for the total number of acres (urban) or matrix units allowed (rural).
(iv) Reducing Density Based on Impacts. All values given above are maximums and may be reduced based on services and access constraints, compatibility with adjacent land uses and the character of the area, or adverse environmental impacts.
(v) Calculating Permanent Residential Units. Permanent residential units for site personnel shall be in place of density credits for Visitor Accommodations use at the rate of one kitchen and up to five permanent residents/developable acre (urban) or matrix unit (rural).
(vi) Determining Matrix Units for Organized Camps. For organized camps and conference centers, the Planning Commission may establish residential densities based on a precise mathematical interpolation of the matrix table values.
(vii) Calculating Density for Limited Temporary Occupancy. Use the following formula:
(developable acres) x (allowed user days/matrix unit)
(days of occupancy) x (occupants)
= number of bed spaces permitted

(viii) Calculating Day Use Temporary Occupancy. Use the following formula:
(limited temporary occupancy) x 3 =
number of day users permitted

3. Expansion of Organized Camps with Nonconforming Densities. For expansion of existing camps with use permits and nonconforming density, the densities of new facilities shall be calculated independent of existing nonconforming densities and shall be based solely on the number of matrix units the new land acquisition merits. Where the new land acquisition is contiguous with the parcel containing the nonconforming use, the facilities resulting from the matrix units for the land acquisition may, at the discretion of the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, be located anywhere on the applicant’s holdings. These provisions shall not be construed to prevent the Board of Supervisors from abating nonconforming uses or structures pursuant to Sections 13.10.260 and 13.10.265 of the Zoning Ordinance where such facilities are found to create a public health hazard or a public nuisance or to be environmentally degrading.
(c) Minimum Site Area for Commercial Recreation. The minimum area for the development of new commercial recreation uses shall not be less than 20 acres. For the purposes of this section commercial recreation shall include such uses as: organized and group camps, conference centers, amusement parks such as Roaring Camp, golf courses, commercial stables, commercial beaches, and visitor accommodations such as RV parks.
