amended by the conditions of approval in the March 26, 2012 report to the City Council.
Back�round
The property is located at 1268 Amble Road and is zoned R-1. The applicant is a licensed
therapist and is seeking to convert one of the rooms in her home into a home office where she
will see a limited number of clients for the purpose of marriage and family counseling.
According to the applicant, the business would be by appointment only and would not involve
any signage or changes to the exterior of the structure.
According the applicant, all requirements, as listed above would be met with the exception of the

two additional vehicles may be permitted for a home occupation, and no more than four vehicles
