6. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. There are no exterior plans for construction projects for the proposed use. The use will 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 salvage yards are not specifically listed as a prohibited use for home occupations, staff reasons the intent of prohibiting body shops would include a use such as a salvage yard. 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… Section 30-83 (c)(2) states: All plans and specifications, except for single-family dwellings, or any other buildings exempted by Minnesota Statute or the Minnesota State Building Code, shall be prepared and signed by a registered architect or a registered professional engineer duly qualified by registration as required by Minn. Stat. §326.02. This indicates all building permits, except for single family dwellings, need to have plans signed by a registered architect or register professional engineer. This then requires the building to meet all applicable commercial building, electrical, plumbing, and fire codes and subsequent inspections and enforcement. There will be significant design/construction requirements to provide area separation between the commercial use areas (garage and basement) from the residential use areas (remainder of the house). If denial of such a permit should occur, it shall accompany recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the standards set forth in Section 30-654.
