Conditional use criteria for professional artists' studios or galleries shall be as follows:
A. No more than twenty five percent (25%) of the floor area of the structure, or three hundred (300) square feet, shall be devoted to gallery exhibits/sales, and there may be no outside storage or display.
B. The studio shall be operated by the artist. A maximum of one outside full time equivalent employee shall be engaged in the sales operation.
C. Signage shall be limited to that allowed by the zone.
D. Only original art objects shall be produced and sold on site. "Original art" is defined as that which appeals to the aesthetic senses, is individually created versus mass produced, is intended to have individual, enduring quality versus immediate, short term consumption or use, and would typically include such things as pottery, watercolor and oil painting, bronze work, sculpture, etc., and would specifically not include T-shirt or tie dyeing shops, wood chain saw art or similar activities.
E. The studio/gallery shall be allowed only within an existing building. Any exterior modifications to the building shall be in keeping with the residential architecture and scale of the adjacent neighborhood. (Ord. A-407, 3-15-1982; amd. Ord. 05-25, 11-21-2005)
