Case #6: Request for a Home Occupation Permit; Case of Sarah Pickhardt Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon reported the City received an application fi'om Sarah Pickhardt for a home occupation permit to establish a one person chiropractic business in her home on the property located at 15751 Potassium Street. The applicant will be the sole employee and expects to service a maximum of ten clients per week. Operation hours would be primarily Monday through Friday with the last appointment scheduled no later than 9:00 p.m. The City recently issued a home occupation permit for a massage therapist with similar hours and number of anticipated clients during a week. One letter of rejection was received, which is included in the Council's packet. The residents, Mr. and Mrs. Greenberg, feel the business will bring additional traffic into the neighborhood. However, it appears that the opposition is more related to the development of River Pines, the residential subdivision located adjacent to the owners' property, than the request to operate a one person chiropractic home occupation. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the home occupation request.
