A. Purpose. Permits for General home occupations must be obtained from the Commissioner of Building Inspection prior to their establishment. The permit requirements are intended to ensure:
1. That the applicant is aware of the provisions of this Zoning Code governing home occupations;
2. That the City has all information necessary to evaluate whether the proposal initially meets and continues to meet Zoning Code regulations; and
3. That the distribution and location of General home occupations is known.
B. Procedure. A home occupation permit for General home occupations will be issued by the Commissioner of Building Inspection for a 2-year period. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain the permit every 2 years. The review process requires the applicant to submit an affidavit pledging agreement with these conditions and documentation that the proposal is a General home occupation. The permit is tied to the applicant and not to the lot occupied by the home occupation; permits are not transferable to other sites or other operators.
C. Revocation. A General home occupation permit may be revoked for failure to comply with the regulations of this section. When a General home occupation permit has been revoked, a new General home occupation permit will not be issued to the applicant or other persons residing with the applicant for 2 years.
