• 1-A 20 July 1992 MEMO TO: Planning Commission FROM: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator acting as planner RE: Staff report a request for a conditional use permit for a home occupation at 1484 West California Avenue in an R-1 zone Background A conditional use permit goes with the property not the person. It may be revoked by the city if the conditions are not met. The property owner, Ms. Maureen Blustein, is requesting a conditional use permit (C.U.P.) to operate a ceramics class three evenings per week from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the basement of her • single family home on California Avenue. A C.U.P. is necessary for this activity because the proposed home occupation does not meet all the requirements of a home occupation, specifically §9-14.02{25}[a](4) which requires that no more than normal parking be associated with the home occupation. Ms. Blustein's home business may result in a maximum of ten cars beyond what is associated with her family. This exceeds what is "normal" and, therefore a C.U.P. is required under §9-4.01[2](j) of the code. All other aspects of the request meet the requirements of the home occupation as to hours of operation, outdoor storage and traffic. Proposal The hours of operation, associated traffic and storage requirements are met by the proposal. The fire marshal and electrical inspector inspected the dwelling and kiln, which is in the basement, and approved the facilities with the requirement that some sheet rock be added for a fire wall prior to starting the class. Ms. Blustein plans to accommodate the extra parking associated with the ceramics class by providing ten spaces in the Northome parking lot to the west of the home (see map). The two property owners have already negotiated a lease for ten spaces for the nine months of the year that the business will be in operation. . A copy of the lease is part of the proposal. ~r,,:. ,
