Staff does not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 5. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. Traffic, noise, fumes/odors, parking, and hazardous materials can be detrimental if not accounted for. To help mitigate noise concerns, staff is recommending there be no repair or maintenance of vehicles outside of the building and all openings to the accessory structure be closed when the business is in operation. The ordinance requires parking for auto repair to be one parking space for each 300 square feet of floor area (1,200/300 = 4 stalls) and all parking areas shall be set back 10-feet from property lines. There is area for parking of four vehicles in the driveway. These parking spots are intended for customer parking and not for storage of vehicles being worked on. Staff is recommending all customer vehicles stored on the premises must be stored within an area which is screened from view in the public right-of-way by a 6 (six)- foot high 100% opaque fence. Section 30-900 states all off-street parking areas and access drives shall be paved with asphalt, concrete, pavers, or Class V compacted to maintain a dust free surface. Section 30-901 states all driving areas and parking areas shall be bounded by B612 concrete curb and gutter. The curbing requirement can be waived by the City Council. 6.

Any new structure, driveway, paving or other impervious surface must be located at least 45’ from the wetland edge. The applicant may need a wetland delineation completed to determine the wetland boundary and setbacks will be determined from that location. Staff is recommending all proposed hardcover shall meet the 45-foot wetland setback. With the proposed conditions, the use should not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. 7. Will fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and standards for the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city. While this application is a Home Occupation in a residential zone, the use operates no differently than a commercial business in a commercial zone. The building code does not differentiate between a business operating with only one person (the owner) versus multiple employees working in the space. The building code and city ordinance state a home occupation in a residential district needs to follow all the same building, electrical, plumbing, and fire codes and regulations a commercial business needs to in a commercial zone. Section 30-83 (c)(1) states: With each application for a building permit, and when required by the building official for enforcement of any provisions of this article, two sets of plans and specifications shall be submitted…
