Councilmember Musgrove provided some grammatical changes on the permit. She asked if there were violations or complaints that occurred on this site. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that this did come before staff as a violation as the appropriate home occupation permit was not obtained. She stated that there were no violations from noise or outdoor storage. Councilmember Musgrove asked if the item should be worded differently as the language makes it appear that there were violations, but they were only complaints. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that language could be made clearer. Councilmember Musgrove referenced the condition that customers can only visit the site once per day and commented that seems unnecessary and asked if it should be removed. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that language could be removed but noted that it is kept in order to provide enforcement should an issue arise. She noted that traffic is the main complaint City Council / January 12, 2021 Page 7 of 11
