<br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: RICK J. <br /> <br />FROM: RICH M. <br /> <br />DATE: May 5, 1993 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: VARIOUS SUBURB'S POLICY REGARDING BEAUTY SALONS AND HOME <br />OCCUPATIONS <br /> <br />I checked with the following cities to determine their requirements <br />dealing with home occupations, specifically beauty salons. <br /> <br />Shoreview would not require as. U . P. but instead issues a home <br />occupation license that would allow for a beauty salon. The cost <br />for this license is $75.00 and is issued only once and no renewal <br />fee. They send out letters to the surrounding neighbors and <br />explain the situation and ask for feedback. If the city planner <br />feels that there wouldn't be a problem, he or she goes ahead and <br />issues the license without needing planning commission or council <br />approval. If the planner feels that problems may arise from the <br />occupation then there is the option for the planner to deny the <br />license. The applicant could appeal to the council. The lady I <br />spoke with mentioned that no application has been rejected in the <br />past 10 years. She also stated that there is 5 or 6 residents that <br />are operating salons out of their homes currently. <br /> <br />Maplewood follows a similar method of dealing with home occupations <br />as Shoreview and issues a home occupation license which costs $53 <br />and is renewed annually for $22. Their can be limits on hours of <br />operation, signage, etc. He did mention that they do allow for 2 <br />sq. ft. of signage for home businesses. <br /> <br />Columbia Heights currently has a moratorium on home occupations. <br />They are in the process of redrafting or creating a home occupation <br />license. They use to deal with them by issuing a S.U.P. but no <br />longer do it that way. <br /> <br />Oakdale would deal with it by issuing a S.U.P. the S.U.P. would <br />place the limits on hours of operation, signage, etc. He mentioned <br />that they currently have 3 beauty salons currently. <br /> <br />Little Canada deals with it by also processing a conditional use <br />permit. John Miller stated that they do not place any limits on <br />the hours of operation and basically look at what it would do to <br />the neighborhood. He believed that there were two beauty salons <br />operating out of their homes in Little Canada. <br />
