house numerous woodworking machines and tools. Products created onsite will be sold via internet sales or offsite at craft sales and consignment shops. There will be minimal onsite sales. Other than the applicant, there will be no employees. The hours of operation for the proposed business will be 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and there will not be customers outside of those hours. A small sign is proposed to be mounted on the detached accessory structure exterior. Signage shall not exceed four square feet in area and shall be mounted flat on the outside wall of the detached accessory structure. The applicant has been doing woodworking activities in the detached accessory structure for the past six years as a hobby and the city has not received any complaints regarding its use. The three main issues that neighbors may have with this proposal are traffic, noise, and odor. Traffic The applicant has indicated that 2-3 customers per month will pick up items on site. With only 24-36 vehicles per year coming to the subject property, there should be no adverse effects due to traffic. A parking demand should not be in excess of that which can be accommodated by the existing driveway. Noise The applicant has indicated that the building and garage doors are fully insulated. The majority of his work will consist of lathe work but there will be other operations that will take place, such as, but not limited to, sawing, planing, sanding, and drilling. The attached floor plan shows all of the equipment in use. With a fully insulated facility and with the proposed conditions, noise should not be a problem. Odor The applicant does not have a spray booth and finishes a majority of his projects with Tung oil or wax, which are hand applied. Leftover finish is disposed of at hazardous waste drop-off sites. The city requires CUP's for this type of use in residential districts to provide nearby property owners the opportunity to express any concerns. It also allows the Planning Commission and City Council to impose conditions to help alleviate any concerns. With the proposed conditions outlined above, the uses, activities, materials, and equipment should not detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity because of excessive traffic, noise, odors, dust, or vibrations. Analysis Comprehensive Plan The Urban Residential area includes land guided for residential use in areas that will be served by the municipal sanitary sewer system. This Urban Residential land use will be guided by the density of development and not the type of housing. Densities of this development pattern would range from a low density pattern consisting mostly of single family detached homes at two dwelling units per acre to a denser pattern of smaller lots or attached housing at a density of up to eight dwelling units per acre. Urban Residential land uses include single-family detached housing, duplexes, townhomes and multiple family dwellings. Housing units may be owner or renter occupied within this land use designation.
