allowing home occupations to be operated from accessory structures, the city must adhere to the ordinance and <br />state building/electrical codes regardless of how expensive, difficult, or time consuming it may be for the <br />homeowner. <br /> <br />Staff reviewed 12 neighboring communities and 10 of the communities allow home occupations to be conducted <br />only in the home. Princeton and Ramsey allow them in detached accessory structures with Princeton not allowing <br />more than 625 square feet. Staff has spoken with other community inspectors and many of them stated they do <br />not address the registered architect or engineer topic. <br /> <br />Additionally, under the current ordinance, a person not residing on the property can apply for a CUP to operate a <br />home occupation. The intent had been to allow home occupations only to be operated by the property owner <br />while living on premise. This can be accomplished by adding “occupations not conducted by an individual who <br />resides on the property and uses the residence as a primary address for legal purposes” in the prohibited activities <br />section. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br /> Support the growth and development of residential and commercial areas <br /> Ethical, efficient, and responsible <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> City Comparisons <br /> Sec. 30-801.
