What exactly is a "bed and breakfast"?

Well, now we know. According to the Madisonville City Council,

• A bed and breakfast must be a one-family dwelling.
• The exterior of the building shall maintain a residential appearance.
• The facility shall be the residence of the operator, who is the owner or leaseholder of the building.
• Rooms may not be rented for more than seven consecutive days, and no more than 15 days per person in any 30-day period.
• A morning meal must be served on premises and included within the room charge for guest of the facility and shall be the only meal provided.
• The facility must meet applicable parish and state health, safety not limited to the Uniform Building Code requirements concerning maximum occupancy and liability requirements.
• One off-street parking space will be required for each rented bedroom in addition to the number of spaces required for each dwelling unit.
• Maximum of four rooms.

I'm glad they cleared that one up. I can now sleep restfully.
