The zoning ordinance makes a distinction between permitted home occupations and <br />special or customarily "more sensitive" home occupations. Permitted home occupations <br />typically include home offices, piano lessons, or other similar uses. Special home <br />occupations have characteristics which may tend to disrupt the residential character of <br />the neighborhood. While permitted home occupations may be allowed as a matter of <br />right, special home occupations shall require a permit in accordance with the terms of <br />this subdivision. <br />The applicant states that the employee would work at the home anywhere from 8 to 30 <br />hours per week, depending on the season during common business hours of 8:00 a.m. <br />to 6:00 p.m. The applicant further states that the employee will be able to park in the <br />driveway of the home, and avoid on -street parking issues. <br />All home occupations are required to comply with the following general provisions: <br />1. No home occupation shall produce light glare, noise, odor or vibration that <br />will in any way have an objectionable effect upon adjacent or nearby <br />property. <br />No such nuisances are expected as a result of the proposed employee. <br />2. No equipment or machinery shall be used in the home occupation which <br />will create electrical interference to surrounding properties. <br />The applicant utilizes common computer and related equipment, and is not <br />expected to produce electrical interference with surrounding properties. <br />3. Any home occupation shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the <br />residential use of the premises, should not change the residential character <br />thereof, and shall result in no incompatibility or disturbance to the <br />surrounding residential uses. <br />No changes are proposed that would alter the residential character of the home. <br />4. No home occupation shall require internal or external alterations or involve <br />construction features not customarily found in dwellings except where <br />required to comply with local and state fire and police recommendations. <br />No interior or exterior modifications are proposed for the home. <br />5. There shall be no exterior storage of equipment or materials used in the <br />home occupation, except personal automobiles used in the home <br />occupation may be parked on the site. <br />No exterior storage of materials will be necessary. <br />2 <br />
