CHAPTER 155: ZONING Page 2 of 4 <br />(e) Lapse of permit by nonuse. If, within one year after granting a permit, the use as <br />permitted by the permit shall not have been initiated, then such permit shall become null and <br />void unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has been granted by <br />the City Council. Such petition shall be required in writing and filed with the Zoning <br />Administrator at least 30 days before the expiration of the original permit. There shall be no <br />charge for the filing of such petition. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good <br />faith attempt to initiate the use. Such petition shall be presented to the Planning Commission for <br />a recommendation and to the City Council for a decision. <br />(f) Reconsideration of application denial. Whenever an application for a permit has been <br />considered and denied by the City Council, a similar application for a permit affecting <br />substantially the same property shall not be considered again by the Planning Commission or <br />City Council for at least six months from the date of its denial unless a decision to reconsider <br />such matter is made by not less than a four -fifths vote of the full City Council. <br />(g) Renewal of permits. An applicant shall not have a vested right to a permit renewal by <br />reason of having obtained a previous permit. In applying for and accepting a permit, the permit <br />holder agrees that his or her monetary investment in the home occupation will be fully amortized <br />over the life of the permit and that a permit renewal will not be needed to amortize the <br />investment. Each application for the renewal of a permit will be considered as a new permit <br />without taking into consideration that a previous permit has been granted. The previous granting <br />or renewal of a permit shall not constitute a precedent or basis for the renewal of a permit. <br />(D) Requirements general provisions. All home occupations shall comply with the <br />following general provisions and, according to definition, the applicable requirement provisions. <br />(1) General provisions. <br />(a) No home occupation shall produce light, glare, noise, odor, or vibration that will in <br />any way have an objectionable effect upon adjacent or nearby property. <br />(b) No equipment shall be used in the home occupation which will create electrical <br />interference to surrounding properties. <br />(c) Any home occupation shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use <br />of the premises shall not change the residential character thereof, and shall result in no <br />incompatibility or disturbance to the surrounding residential uses. <br />(d) No home occupation shall require internal or external alterations or involve <br />construction features not customarily found in dwellings except where required to comply with <br />local and state fire and police recommendations. <br />(e) There shall be no exterior storage of equipment or materials used in the home <br />occupation, except personal automobiles used in the home occupation may be parked on the site. <br />(f) The home occupation shall meet all applicable fire and building codes. <br />(g) There shall be no exterior display or exterior signs or interior display or interior signs <br />which are visible from outside the dwelling. <br />(h) All home occupations shall comply with the provisions of the City Nuisance <br />Ordinance. <br />http://www.amlegal.com/alpscripts/get-content.aspx <br />12/9/2013 <br />
