[quote=UCGal]A yurt, in many ways, is like a tee-pee – most have the center hole to let the smoke out.
IMO you could argue it’s a tent. The only issue might be if you put in a slab, electrical, etc… You would be crossing into “needs a permit” area.
But if you put it on pavers and ran an extension cord for lights – you’d probably be legally permit free…
Of course this is all just opinion on my part.[/quote]
don’t put it on pavers, instead, maybe set up a small wooden deck and then a few layers of felt insulation on the floor.
san diego has a mild climate, so, at most a small heater would be needed.
i’d wrory ore about rain fall causing water damage, hence the platform.
