• <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: July 28, 1992 <br /> TO: Mayor & Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Thomas D. Burt, City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: HOME OCCUPATIONS <br /> • This summer has been unbelievable with the number of complaints we have received from <br /> neighbors complaining about neighbors. Many are easy to resolve and many are trivial and <br /> difficult to resolve. One complaint that is on the rise is neighbors complaining about fellow <br /> neighbors having a business in their home. <br /> It has been the city's policy to say any business that does not have employees and/or <br /> customers coming and going, have equipment or outside storage on the property and/or <br /> advertise is permitted. Examples of permitted businesses are attorney,realtors,stockbrokers, <br /> etc. In almost all cases the city does not know of a home occupation unless there is a <br /> complaint. <br /> A complaint was made by a resident that the city should have a clear ordinance as it relates <br /> to home occupations so there is not inconsistency. This resident used the local yellow pages <br /> and identified 18 home occupations with advertisements. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Forward this item to the Planning Commission for study and possible ordinance. <br /> • <br />
