Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Lee Barry, chair.
Minutes of the Special Planning Commission Meeting of July 8, 1992
were approved as written.
REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE OPERATION OF A
CERAMICS CLASS AS A HOME OCCUPATION AT 1484 CALIFORNIA AVENUE IN AN
R-1 ZONE.
• The property owner, Maureen Blustein is requesting a conditional
use permit to operate a ceramics class three evenings per week from
6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. in the basement of her single family home on
California Avenue. The C.U.P. is required because one part of the
home occupation does not meet condition 9-14.02[25](d)(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.
Ms. Blustein stated that she has been negotiating a lease
arrangement with the proprietors of Northome Shopping Center to
lease up to ten spaces in the parking lot to the west of her home.
She also stated that her evening classes would be held during the
week and not on weekends.
Chair Barry questioned whether Ms. Blustein had a signed copy of
the letter agreement with Northome Shopping Center. She indicated
she is waiting for approval of the Conditional Use Permit before
signing the lease.
Ken Salzburg asked whether the extra fire wall had been installed
and Ms. Blustein said that the fire marshal indicated a fire door
would be adequate and would be installed before the classes begin.
A neighbor, Ruth Gabriel, attended the meeting and wanted to be
sure what the parking arrangements would be. She was satisfied
• after hearing of the pending lease agreement with Northome Shopping.

5. A current lease between property owner and Northome
Shopping Center providing parking spaces for the number of
students in class.
• 6. Class participants be required to park in the Northome
parking lot.
7. The facilities meet the fire marshal's, electrical
inspectors and building official's codes. The fire
marshal annually inspects the business with the renewal
of the home occupation license.
8. No sales of class ceramics products to outside parties
be conducted on the premises. In other words, no on-
going craft shop or sales. (The property owner may have
garage and craft sales as defined in the zoning code.)
9. Any hazardous wastes such as paints and glazes be
disposed of according to the approved practice as
recommended by the fire marshal.
The motion carried unanimously.
