PROPOSED ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO HOME OCCUPATION STANDARDS - ORDINANCE NO. 221, 2nd SERIES Gaffron explained that in 1998, the then City Planner /Zoning Administrator Liz Van Zomeren worked with the Planning Commission to draft an amended Home Occupation ordinance. That draft ordinance would have completely eliminated licensing and would have permitted home occupations as an accessory use subject to the enforcement of performance standards. That draft also included a list of "Prohibited" home occupations, which were deemed to be likely to have negative neighborhood impacts. Gaffron noted that the draft reflected good work by the Planning Commission, but got bogged down in • discussions as to home occupations in accessory buildings. No action was taken at that time.
