§ 17.52.075. Temporary dwelling for dependent persons.

Upon written request of the owner of the affected property and for which this is a request for their personal situation, the Board of Bannock County Commissioners may allow the placement of one temporary dwelling in excess of that permitted within the property's zoning designation contingent that other building and zoning requirements are met. The applicant's request must explain why the existing dwelling on the property is inadequate for the care of a dependent person, must establish that the dependency is the result of the physical or health needs of the dependent, and that other provisions of this title will not allow the placement of the additional dwelling on the affected property.

If the Board of Bannock County Commissioners finds that the request meets these standards and the dwelling is required to provide regular care for the dependent person, the Board of Bannock County Commissioners may grant the applicant's request upon the condition that the approval must be reconsidered annually. For annual renewal of the temporary dwelling, the Board of Bannock County Commissioners must find that the facts supporting original approval still exist.

Building or installation permits and compliance with setbacks are required for temporary dwellings. Dwellings approved under the provisions of this section shall be no further than one hundred (100) feet from the existing residence. If it is physically impractical to locate the home within one hundred (100) feet of the existing residence and the applicant can provide proof of this to the planning department, the distance to the new temporary home may exceed the one hundred (100) foot limit, but the new home must be located as close as is physically practical to the existing residence.
