Regular Planning Commission 5. 4. <br />Meeting Date: 02/04/2016 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Receive Update on Recent Trend of Home Occupation Permit Applications <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this discussion topic is simply to update the Planning Commission on a potential developing trend <br />Staff has noticed recently regarding home occupation requests. Over the past couple months, Staff has had at least <br />three (3) inquiries from residents interested in starting a home based business with a focus on firearms. Note that <br />the inquires have not included manufacturing of ammunition but rather have had a focus on off-site firearms <br />training, custom made firearms, and/or retail sales (online and at shows without customer visits to the property or ). <br />While the City has had multiple inquires, there has only been one (1) formal submittal received and reviewed by <br />Staff. After consulting with both the City Attorney and the Police Chief, it was determined that the proposed home <br />occupation did not exceed the threshold that required a permit. It is unclear if the recent inquiries are truly a sign of <br />a developing trend or just a coincidence that they were within months (or weeks) of one another. Staff is not <br />suggesting nor recommending that any revisions to the Home Occupation standards are needed; however, we did <br />think it was worth updating the Planning Commission in case additional, similar inquires are received. <br />Notification: <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Funding Source: <br />Recommendation: <br />Action: <br />No action is needed; this is for informational purposes only. <br />Attachments <br />Section 117-351 (Home Occupations) <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 01/29/2016 10:58 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 01/26/2016 09:02 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/29/2016 <br />
