Bed and breakfast inns shall be permitted in any residential, business and professional, historical, or commercial zone, provided a use permit is obtained pursuant to Chapter 17.60. (Ord. 529 § 1 (part), 1984)

The following special requirements shall be complied with:

The use permit may authorize limited ancillary activities such as weddings, receptions, fund raisers or similar events attended by non-guests, subject to conditions which are necessary to satisfy Section 17.20.030C, including, but not limited to, restrictions upon the frequency and time of holding events, duration thereof, and the maximum number of persons attending.
