Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 672, an Ordinance Amending <br />Chapter 1106 of the Mounds View Zoning Code Pertaining to Home <br />Occupations. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson explained this Ordinance was before Council at a <br />previous meeting but an issue was brought up concerning an individual in the City operating a <br />business out of his home that had non-resident employees. Council sent the Ordinance back to <br />the Planning Commission for further discussion and public input. The Planning Commission <br />held a public hearing to obtain resident input and Staff solicited input concerning proposed <br />changes to the Ordinance via email and received an overwhelming response from residents that <br />residents did not want any change to the Ordinance that would allow non-resident employees at <br />home-based businesses. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission increased the size allowed for home-based businesses from one (1) <br />square foot to four (4) square feet along with changing the location allowed for placement of the <br />sign. After resident input and Commission discussion it was determined not to allow on street <br />parking. The Ordinance does not limit the number of cars allowed for off street parking provided <br />the cars are parked in accordance with City codes. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre inquired as to whether there was any public input expressing concern for an <br />increase in signage allowed for home-based businesses. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson stated he had not received any public input <br />concerning the signage issue.
