(Home Occupations — Continued from Page 1) <br />Mayor Johnston submitted a letter regarding this issue which was shared with the <br />Commission on March 13. A copy is attached. The letter requests the Commission to <br />limit the scale of storage allowed with Home Based Businesses, and to provide for annual <br />licenses rather than the "one time issue" perpetual license. <br />The Commission recommendation is three -fold: <br />1. Amend Section 150 (Definitions) to repeal the existing "Home Occupation" <br />definition and add new definitions of "Home Office" and "Home Based <br />Business". <br />2. Amend Section 1110 to add a new Section 1115 — Licensing of Home Based <br />Businesses <br />3. Amend several sections of the Zoning Ordinance to repeal references to Home <br />Occupations and add references to Home Based Business and Home Office. <br />Rather than present the Commission -proposed strategy for Home Occupations in formal <br />ordinance format, we have here included that strategy in the very same format that was <br />seen by the Commission. It becomes a bit easier to follow without all of the formal <br />numbering etc. Should the Council determine that the Commission -recommended Code <br />modifications (or some similar iteration) be in the best interests of the City staff will <br />return with the formal ordinances at the next meeting. <br />
