Zoning File #1512 <br />June 12, 1990 <br />Page 2 <br />Additional Exhibits <br />Exhibit L - Home Occupation License Application <br />Exhibit M - Planning Commission Minutes 4-16-90 <br />Review of Current Application - <br />The Police Chief has reviewed the license application and <br />has recommended approval of the license based on his review of <br />the driving records of all persons involved with the operation. <br />If the City is to approve the home occupation license as proposed <br />by the applicant, a variance must be granted to the standards of <br />the home occupation section of the code. The applicant does hire <br />employees who do not live within the dwelling. A major concern <br />for the Planning Commission in the earlier review was the fact <br />that the enployeas park their cars at the site during the work <br />day. The property appears cluttered during the day if both cars <br />and trucks are there at ontj time. At our April meeting, the <br />neighbors in attendance had /olunteered to accept the neighbors <br />cars. In later discussions with the applicant, staff advised <br />that it is more appropriate for Mr. Ruce to solve his parking <br />problems internally rather than depending upon neighbors' <br />properties to conceal employee cars. This is not a rare <br />condition in our City in the granting of home occupation licenses <br />as we have several contractors who are required to have employee <br />vehicles stored in a concealed area during the day. The majority <br />of these contractors have employee vehicles parked within the <br />structures that house the work vehicles during the work day. <br />Staff has recommended that the three employees of Mr. Ruce park <br />their individual cars during the day within the structures that <br />house the three trucks used in the business. Mr. Ruce has agreed <br />finding the request very feasible based on his operation. <br />Planning Commission members may have other alternatives for <br />consideration. <br />If Planning Commission recommend® approval of the variance <br />to the home occupatons standard, tha following conditions may be <br />considered: <br />1. All employee cars must be maintained within garage and <br />storage structures during the day and cannot be parked <br />within the outside yard area. <br />2. If Mr. Ruce increases the number of permanent employees <br />(over 3) required to come to the site at 4625 West Branch <br />Road during this current licensed year, Mr. Ruce must apply <br />for an amended home occupations license. <br />3. Any others deemed appropriate by the Planning <br />Commission.
