(Ord. 275, <br />5-12-59) <br /> <br />JJ1 STAFF DISCUSSION <br /> <br />3.1 The original home occupation ordinance was approved in 1959. It did not <br />anticipate the home computer/telecommunications changes in the past ten <br />years. The home delivery/catalog business has also changed and is one of <br />the fastest growing industries. The current ordinance may allow a working <br />parent to stay home with children during the work day, but many activities <br />are restricted. <br /> <br />Communities in the metro area are addressing these changing needs in <br />many different ways, including: <br /> <br />1. Develop an administrative permit/approval process with more up-to- <br />date requirements, conditions, and definitions. <br /> <br />2. Develop an administrative permit/approval process (as in #1 above) <br />for a specified list of activities. For proposed activities not on the list, <br />an impact analysis and conditional use permit would be required. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />PF#2969 - (11/12/97) - Page 2 of 3 <br />
