Item 7 <br />Page 2 <br />8/23/93 <br />• By law an applicant for a conditional use permit must demonstrate <br />that the conditions can be met, and if they can., the commission <br />and council must approve the permit. This also requires the staff <br />to enforce the permit requirements. <br />• A variance requires the applicant to demonstrate a hardship due to <br />the requirements of the code. The variance .can be approved if a <br />hardship is truly demonstrated. If not, it can be denied. <br />• Over the past four years two home occupations required <br />conditional use permits. The first was for the Rose Bed and <br />Breakfast and the second for a ceramics class that required that the <br />owner provide parking for ten cars away from her home. The <br />conditional use permit process worked for these but there are <br />alternatives. <br />The Rose Bed and Breakfast is unique enough that the city could <br />have amended its residential zoning code to allow for a bed and <br />breakfast at that unique location in the city. ' <br />The applicant for the .ceramics business could make a case for <br />hardship. Perhaps having a home occupation that creates a need <br />for an additional ten parking places should only be permitted <br />because of hardship by a variance with conditions. <br />NOTE: A daycare center is not considered to be a home occupation. They are <br />not licensed by the city. <br />Attachments: <br />1. Memo from Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban <br />2. Home Occupation requirements in code <br />Action requested: <br />1 .
