El Rojo Wholesale Project Narrative: Wholesale Spices, Chiles, and dried goods •This project narrative outlines my proposal to conduct: El Rojo Wholesale, to work from my residential address at: 14270 201st Ave NW Elk River, MN 55330, as a home-based warehouse operation storing bulk spices, chiles, and dried goods. •Our work involves re-packaging all dried goods into smaller packages from ounces to re- sell to retailers. •Our typical work hours will be Monday - Friday between the hours of 9am-5:30pm respectively. This will include no Weekends or Holidays. All client and customer interactions will be conducted remotely via phone and email only. •The employees working will include myself, Benjamin Gomez Hernandez and my wife, Judy Thao. •The parking spaces will not change in any way, shape, or form. It will stay the same as it is and we don’t intend to have extra vehicles. •There will be no proposed screening as everything will be done inside the shed/ workshop. The primary duties will be blocked/unseen as it will be done indoors. •The equipment that we will be using will consist of a simple weight scale, packaging machine with a conveyor belt, and a sealing machine. We also have a pallet jack and a forklift when necessary. These equipment are low noise levels there should not be any concerns with bothering our neighbors. •There will be no hazardous materials on-site. •There will not be any proposed building materials as it is not needed. •There will be no intent for outdoor storage outside of the shed for any of the products or materials that we have. •There will be no external signage or alterations to the property that would indicate a business operation. The residential appearance of the property will be maintained. •There will be no odors or emissions associated with the home-based operation. •Waste disposal will be limited to standard household waste and minimal on-site work trash. •Any deliveries will be limited to standard mail and package deliveries consistent with residential use. If needed, there will be a truck for product deliveries about 3-4 times a year. Besides that, we pick up our products locally or out of the state. We have no intentions of blocking the driveway as these products are limited for each delivery purpose. •This home-based business will comply with the zoning regulations outlined in Sec. 30-801. of the Residential Occupations. •The proposed operation is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for residential purposes. •The operation will not change the residential character of the neighborhood. •The operation will not create a nuisance or hazard. •I have reviewed the zoning regulations and my business ﬁts within them. •This proposal is submitted to ensure compliance with all applicable zoning regulations and to demonstrate that my proposed home-based business will have minimal impact on the residential character of the neighborhood.
