This item appeared before the <br />Council in July of 2009 to appeal staff’s interpretation of the home occupation as a prohibited home <br />occupation. At that time the Council directed Frazier to apply for a Level 2 home occupation license. <br /> <br />The applicant indicated to the council and within the license application that he intends to park the two <br />trucks between the home and the existing pole shed out of view from neighboring properties. The intent <br />is to park the trucks inside the shed within the next year. They do not receive deliveries at the property <br />and the trucks each leave the site and return once per day. <br /> <br />According to City Code, Level 2 home occupations may include but are not strictly limited to: <br /> <br />1. Those with employed persons other than occupants of the dwelling. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 09/14/09 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 08/24/09 [Page 1 of 10]
