Little Canada Planning Commission Little Canada Mayor and City Council 16 July 1984 Page Three 4. Special home occupations may be allowed to accommodate their parking demand through utilization of on- street parking. In such cases where on- street parking facilities are necessary, however, the City Council shall maintain the right to establish the maximum number of on- street spaces permitted and increase or decrease that maximum number when and where changing conditions require additional review. The property in question is located near the curve of Noel Drive. A letter received from a resident in this neighborhood indicates congestion created by cars, trucks and trailers parked on the street which are associated with the business at the Behr residence Following are five factors listed in the Zoning Ordinance which help determine the possible adverse effects of the proposed activity: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policiesand provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Land Use Plan. 2. The proposed site is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The proposed business is of an intensity as allowed in the "B -3 ", General Business District. The site and surrounding properties are zoned "R -1" and are residential in character. The proposed activity is not consistent with the development of this area. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. As demonstrated above, the proposed use is in violation of several per- formance standards required by home occupations. 4. The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. A letter received from a neighbor documents that their home was evaluated by realtors at below market value. Partial cause is speculated from the blight caused by the proposed home occupation. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. The proposed home occupation does not over burden the City's service capacity.
