Special license fees shall be assessed for all attention seeking devices as described in Section 903.110.C.5. of this Ordinance. The fee shall be determined by resolution of the City Council. f. Temporary Signs. The license fee for temporary signs shall be set by Ordinance by the City Council. An applicant may obtain licenses for the display of temporary signs as specified in Section 903.110.C.5. of this Ordinance for a calendar year at one time, if dates of display are specifically identified. g. Holiday Displays. No license or fee shall be required for a holiday display. G. Waiver of Requirements as to Location Signs. In the event that a project of the Minnesota Department of Transportation changes the legal status of an existing sign or necessitates the removal and relocation of signs within the City, the City Council may waive the prohibitions and the requirements of Section 903.110 of this Ordinance relating to the location of such signs by granting a variance. The Council may consider all requests simultaneously and may grant one variance applying to all signs similarly affected or situated. H. Severability. In the event that a court finds any portion of this Section to be invalid for any reason, the remainder of the ordinance shall stand on its own, continuing in effect and force without reliance on the invalid portion. 903.120. HOME OCCUPATIONS. A. Purpose. The purpose of this subdivision is to prevent competition with business districts and to provide a means through the establishment of specific standards and procedures by which home occupations can be conducted in residential neighborhoods without jeopardizing the health, safety and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, this subdivision is intended to provide a mechanism enabling the distinction between permitted home occupations and special or customarily "more sensitive" home occupations. While permitted home occupations may be allowed as a matter of right, special home occupations shall require a permit in accordance with the terms of this subdivision. B. Application. Subject to the non-conforming use provision of this Section, all occupations conducted in the home shall comply with the provisions of this subdivision. This subdivision shall not be construed, however, to apply to home occupations accessory to farming.
