The current <br />Home Occupation Permit restricts home occupations to the confines of the dwelling, which excludes <br />attached or detached garages. The ordinance also does not allow for employees other than residents that live <br />on the property. Staff reviewed the following proposed additions to the ordinance with the City Council <br />during the work session: <br /> 1. Establishes standards for occupations conducted within the dwelling. <br /> 2. Language has been added to allow businesses to be operated fi.om an accessory structure for parcels <br /> 3 acres or greater in size and establishes standards for these operations. <br /> 3. Gives the City Council the flexibility to approve or deny a business operation within a pre-existing <br /> accessory structure that is located on a parcel that does not contain a residential dwelling. It should <br /> be noted that City Code no longer allows accessory structures to be constructed on a property that <br /> does not contain a principal dwelling. <br /> 4. Establishes a list of specific business operations that may be considered a little more intensive (i.e. <br /> traffic or production of product) for parcels 10 acres in size and greater that are located within the <br /> Rural Developing and Rural Preserve areas <br /> 5. Allows employees, that are not occupants of the residential dwelling. The number of' employees <br /> permitted is based on lot size. <br /> <br />City Council/November 25, 2003 <br /> Page 9 of 28 <br /> <br /> <br />
