The purpose of this section is to provide a means, through the establishment of specific standards <br />and procedures, by which residential occupations can be conducted in residential neighborhoods, without <br />jeopardizing the residential character or health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood <br />as well as the users of the property. In addition, this section is intended to provide a mechanism enabling a <br />distinction between permitted residential occupations and interim residential occupations, so that permitted <br />residential occupations may be allowed through an administrative process rather than a quasi-judicial <br />hearing process. <br />(b) Prohibited activities. No residential occupation (permitted or interim) shall: <br />(1) Be conducted by an individual who does not reside on the property and uses the residence as a <br />primary address for legal purposes. <br />(2) Operate between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday and all day on <br />Sunday. <br />a.
