(c) Permitted home occupations. Permitted Home occupations (occupation) shall be allowed subject to the conditions of this section, other applicable city ordinances and state laws and statutes. If the city denies establishment of an occupation to a resident, the resident may appeal the decision pursuant to the provisions of subdivision II of division 2 of this article. Permitted occupations are subject to the following criteria: (1) No noise, lights, odors, dust, gas, heat, vibration, glare, or other physical manifestations resulting from the occupation shall be evident beyond the boundaries of the property on which the occupation is being conducted. (2) Use equipment which is not normally found in a home (such as, but not limited to, stationary power tools and salon seats), except that equipment which is typically in an office may be used. (3) The occupation shall not require internal or external construction features not customarily found in single-family residential dwellings. (4) A maximum of one full-time employee, or equivalent, other than those persons who customarily reside on the premises shall be employed. (5) Occupations involving teaching shall not exceed two pupils at a time. (6) Occupations shall not be serviced by delivery vehicles larger than 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. (7) Occupations shall not create a parking demand more than that which can be accommodated in an existing driveway or approved surface area, where no vehicle is parked closer than 15 feet to the curb line or edge of the paved surface nor is parked within any right-of-way. (8) On-site sales shall be limited to those clearly incidental to the services provided. (d) Interim home occupations. Home occupations that do not involve prohibited activities but exceed the permitted residential occupation criteria may be allowed with approval of a Interim Use Permit by the city council pursuant to the provisions of subdivision III of division 2 of this article. The intent of the Interim Use Permit is to evaluate, after a set amount of time, the impact a permitted home occupation is having on the neighborhood or the city. An approved Interim Use Permit shall be valid for a maximum of three years or until the property is sold, whichever comes first. To maintain a home occupation after the termination period, a new Interim Use Permit must be applied for. This application must be received at least 120 days prior to the termination date on the existing Interim Use Permit.
