<br />(c) Private attached garages must meet the following standards:
<br />(1) May not exceed, in size or height, the principal building located on the lot.
<br />(2) May not exceed 1,000 square feet plus 25 percent of the amount by which the footprint of the
<br />principal building exceeds 1,000 square feet in size.
<br />(3) May not occupy over 40 percent of the lot's public street frontage as measured at the front yard
<br />setback line.
<br />(d) Private garages may be used only by the owner or occupant of the property on which they are located; they
<br />may not be rented, leased, or occupied for commercial purposes.
<br />(e) On residential lots of less than 10,400 square feet in size, all garage walls, including front walls, must be
<br />located at, or to the rear of, the front wall of the principal building on the lot.
<br />(f) Except for agricultural buildings and long-term agricultural zoning districts, private garages shall resemble, in
<br />color, style, exterior siding, and roofing materials, the principal building on the lot or parcel.
<br />(Prior Code, § 1195-300.1, § 90-230; Ord. No. 2009-430, § 1, 6-15-2009)
<br />Sec. 90-230. Home occupations.
<br />(a) It is unlawful to conduct or operate a business from a home in any zoning district of the city, except under
<br />the conditions contained in this chapter.
<br />(b) The purpose of this section is to maintain the character and integrity of residential areas, prevent unfair
<br />competition with commercial districts, encourage the existing entrepreneurial spirit in the city, and provide a
<br />means through the establishment of specific standards and procedures by which home occupations can be
<br />conducted without jeopardizing the health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood.
<br />The intent is to provide a mechanism enabling the distinction between those home occupations having
<br />minimal or no secondary impact, and those which have potential to adversely affect surrounding properties.
<br />(c) Home occupations, which conform to all of the following standards, may be permitted without obtaining a
<br />home occupation interim use permit:
<br />(1) Any home occupation shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the premises
<br />and shall not change the residential character thereof.
<br />(2) The existence of the home occupation shall not be apparent beyond the boundaries of the site, except
<br />a nameplate, not to exceed two square feet in size, identifying the business or service conducted on
<br />the premises, affixed directly to the building.
<br />(3) All home occupations shall be conducted entirely within the principal dwelling, except that up to 50
<br />percent of the total floor area of accessory structures (e.g., attached garages, detached garages, and
<br />other outbuildings) on a site may be used for the storage of equipment, trailers, or materials related to
<br />the home occupation, provided that no assembly, display, manufacturing, repair, or other business
<br />operations are conducted within an accessory structure. In no event shall the storage of materials
<br />related to a home occupation result in fewer parking spaces than required by this code.
<br />(4) The business or occupation shall not create any radio or television interference beyond the boundaries
<br />of the site.
<br />(5) The area set aside for home occupations shall not exceed 25 percent of the total floor area of such
<br />residence.
<br />(6) No home occupation shall permit light, glare, noise, odor, smoke, dust, or vibration that will in any way
<br />have an objectionable effect upon adjacent or nearby property owners.
