The subject property includes a house with three detached accessory structures (garage, <br />pool house, and a shed). The detached garage has its own driveway with additional parking provided along the <br />primary structure. The property surrounding the subject property consists of single-family residences to the north <br />and east; a Montessori school to the immediate south, and commercial uses including a medical clinic/office to <br />the west and south of the property. <br /> <br />Land Use: Single Family Detached Dwelling <br /> <br /> Figure 1: Aerial of the site, from Ramsey County GIS. <br /> <br />EVALUATION OF REQUEST <br /> <br />Applicant’s Narrative <br /> <br />The applicant submitted a narrative, included in the meeting packet, explaining the proposed home occupation. <br /> <br />Ordinance Criteria <br /> <br />Home occupations are regulated under Ordinance No. 134. The ordinance splits home occupations into three <br />types or categories: home occupations that require no permit or license, home occupations that require a license, <br />and home occupations that require a conditional use permit (CUP). The categories are based on the ‘intensity’ of <br />the proposed use; home occupations that are indoors, generate no traffic, and create no nuisances or noises as <br />detected from the street or adjacent properties are the least intensive use, and therefore do not require a permit <br />or license.
