● In section 1325.02 of the city code (Accessory Uses), under Subdivision 3 (Home Occupations), I would like the council to consider moving line A.2. (“It shall be conducted entirely within the dwelling.”) to part B (Class I Accessory Home Occupations). ○ This would allow business activity outside the home (in an accessory structure or elsewhere on the property), but only as a Class II Conditional Accessory Home Occupation. ● Also in 1325.02, Subdivision 3, under part C (Class II Conditional Accessory Home Occupations), I would like the council to consider amending line 1.c (“It does not occupy more than thirty-three percent of the floor area of the dwelling”) to say “It does not occupy more than thirty-three percent of the floor area of the dwelling or accessory building, or 500 square feet of external property if not visible from the road.” ○ This number is somewhat arbitrary, but I thought it might be better to have a set square footage rather than a percentage of the property in case there is a significant difference in lot sizes. ● In section 1325.02 of the city code (Accessory Uses), under Subdivision 3 (Home Occupations), I would like the council to consider moving line A.3. (“There is no exterior evidence of the home occupation.”) to part B (Class I Accessory Home Occupations). ● If that were to change, I would also suggest adding a line to part C.1. stating that “The home occupation and the conduct thereof shall not impair the residential character of the premises nor impair the reasonable use, enjoyment, and value of other residential property in the neighborhood.”
