The general standards set out above lists several factors to be used by the city clerk in approving home occupations, but does not provide clear guidelines as to how the factors are to be consistently applied. In order to promote such consistency and ensure that home occupations do not adversely affect the residential qualities of the location in which they operate, the following guidelines are to be used by the city in reviewing home occupation license applications:
A. In order to minimize the impacts of parked vehicles, home occupations which involve clients, customers or employees coming to the home shall have sufficient parking on site and/or on the street immediately in front of the site. In determining the availability of parking space, the city will consider the number of vehicles existing on the site during the hours of business operation in addition to those coming to the site. Also considered will be the suitability of the site and/or street to safely accommodate parked vehicles.
B. In order to minimize traffic impacts, home occupations shall generally have no more than eight (8) clients, customers, employees, noncommercial deliveries, or combination thereof, coming to the site each day.
C. In order to minimize the intrusion of commercial vehicles into residential neighborhoods, home occupations shall have no more than one delivery per week by commercial vehicles.
D. Home occupations which will create nuisances such as noise, odors, light or glare shall not be allowed. In instances where the city clerk determines that such nuisances are unlikely but are potential, a home occupation license may be granted on the condition that the licensee agree to allow the city to conduct an unannounced inspection of the premises during the time of any normal or suspected hours of business operation.
E. Should a home occupation be granted and should the nature of the business thereafter acquire features that may have resulted in a denial of a home occupation license in the first instance, the city clerk shall have the authority to revoke the home occupation license. (1984 Code § 3-9-7)
