September 8, 1981 Page Three 7. John Judge Conditional Use Permit The City Administrator indicated that Mr. John Judge has requested a conditional use permit to operate a taxi service out of his home, and further indicated that Mr. Judge's request for a conditional use permit was based on the staff's interpretation of the zoning ordinance regarding the home occupation section. The City Administrator indicated that the Planning Commission determined that a conditional use permit was not required to operate a taxi service out of the home as long as only one taxi was utilized. The City Administrator further in- dicated that the City staff's interpretation of the zoning ordinance requires that a conditional use permit be issued for home occupation of which the taxi service would fall under that definition, and that the zoning ordinance therefore, allows for the regulation of the home occupation businesses. Mayor Hinkle questioned the means of control of the home occupation should Mr. Judge decide to have three or four taxi vehicles out of his home. General discussion was carried on by the City Council regarding the definition of a home occupation and the types of businesses that would fall into that definition. Councilman Toth indicated that he felt that a taxi service was a need of the community. The City Administrator indicated that should the City Council interpret the zoning ordinance as such that a conditional use permit would be required by Mr. Judge to operate the taxi service out of his home, Mr.Judge would have to request that the Planning Commission rule upon the conditional use and then make a recommendation to the City Council.
