111 900.25 - HOME OCCUPATIONS <br /> 1. Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to prevent <br /> unfair competition with business districts and to provide a means <br /> through the establishment of specific standards and procedures by <br /> which home occupations can be conducted in residential <br /> neighborhoods without jeopardizing the residential character or <br /> health, safety and general welfare of the surrounding <br /> neighborhood. In addition, this subsection is intended to <br /> provide a mechanism enabling the distinction between permitted <br /> home occupations and conditional or customarily "more sensitive" <br /> home occupations, so that permitted home occupations may be <br /> allowed through an administrative process rather than a <br /> Quasi-Judicial hearing process. <br /> 2 .
