Bolicek IUP <br />Page 3 <br />(3) All home occupations shall be conducted entirely within the principal dwelling, except that <br />up to 50 percent of the total floor area of accessory structures (e.g., attached garages, detached <br />garages, and other outbuildings) on a site may be used for the storage of equipment, trailers, or <br />materials related to the home occupation, provided that no assembly, display, manufacturing, <br />repair, or other business operations are conducted within an accessory structure. In no event <br />shall the storage of materials related to a home occupation result in fewer parking spaces than <br />required by this code. <br />The applicant is proposing to use 100% of both accessory buildings on site. Staff feels comfortable <br />with this request because all business operations are proposed to be conducted within building A, <br />while building B will solely be utilized for storage of the finished product. The operations that <br />would be occurring inside of building A are not plainly evident to adjacent property owners, and <br />staff is not opposed to the entire building being used for the home occupation. <br />(7) No home occupations shall generate on average more than eight vehicle trips per day, <br />including no more than one delivery vehicle of a type that customarily serves a residential area. <br />Vehicle trips related to the home occupation from customers and clients should generally be by <br />appointment only. <br />The applicant is proposing flexibility to this standard because the number of average vehicle trips <br />exceeds the general ordinance standard. The applicant has indicated that for the first year of his <br />business, there will only be two employees, which will yield a maximum number of trips of eight <br />per day. The applicant stated that as the business grows and two more employees are hired, the <br />maximum number of vehicle trips would be fourteen per day. In addition, there will be grain and <br />hop deliveries made once per week. Since there are such few homes along 140t11 Street, staff does <br />not believe this number of trips would negatively affect the residents and future residents along <br />140t1' Street. <br />(12) No more than one person, other than those who reside on the premises, shall engage in <br />business activities on the premises. The business may employ others only if their work activities <br />are performed off the premises. <br />The applicant is proposing flexibility to this standard because as the business grows, the applicant <br />expects to hire more employees. The infrastructure for the brewing process would already be <br />established at the applicant's home, therefore, employees would need to report to the site for <br />business activities. Because of the nature of the rural area and this property, staff believes the <br />business activities conducted on site would generally not be noticed by neighboring residents and <br />having more than one employee on site is reasonable. <br />5.
