Behl, CUP August 15, 1994 Page 3 . with a portion of a neighbor's property were subdivided, it may create a potential buildable lot for development. Staff is of the opinion that if future subdivision of this lot is to be preserved, the proposed addition should be properly located. The subdivision of the lot for further development becomes increasingly difficult with the addition as proposed. STAFF PROPOSAL . Because of the unique circumstances associated with this particular request, staff perceives the preservation of the residential neighborhood characteristics as being extremely important. In order to preserve the residential neighborhood a condition could be attached with this particular conditional use permit request. That condition could allow a total of only one (1) employee. This request would include that no other residents and/or outside employee's be allowed to work in the hair salon, either for monetary value compensation, or free labor. In a home occupation permit that does not require a conditional use permit, the resident would be allowed one additional employee from outside the place of residence, but in this particular situation, staff believes that allowing extra employees may generate additional customers and, therefore, not be in the best interest of the neighborhood. This is to help alleviate the potential for a larger scale commercial activity to occur in a residentially zoned district. Please refer to City Code Section 900.25 1. Purpose, which relates to the purpose of a home occupation. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION During the Planning Commission meeting, commissioners commented on the difference between the definition of an employee and a person that works at the hair salon. Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit to operate a hair salon on the bases of staffs memo with the exception of the first condition. Staffs recommendation was to only allow Ms. Behl as the only person allowed to work in the hair salon. The Planning Commission recommended that this condition not be included in the conditional use permit. Under the home occupation permit ordinance, the above mentioned hair salon would be allowed one additional employee from outside the residence, and the Planning Commission recommended this would be sufficient. Planning Commission approved this recommendation, with the alterations to staffs recommendations, by a 4-2 vote. . hehl. troy
