Lid PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANCE: ZONING ORDINANCE REFERENCE: ARTICLE 6.16.6 REGULATIONS CONCERNING HOME OCCUPATIONS, AS AN ACCESSORY USE ARTICLE 22 DEFINITIONS (HOME OCCUPATION) ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: `x_ Staff Planning Board BOCC Public Other: STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: x High Middle Low comment: EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 26, 1992 PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: The purpose of this amendment is to create standards which are more performance - oriented. Also, the text itself is being revised into a simpler format. The substantive changes proposed in this amendment pertain to setbacks and square footage limits for accessory structures used for home occupation purposes, on lots larger than 200,000 square feet (Article 6.3). Staff will be proposing changes to requirements for smaller lots, specific standards related to traffic impacts, and additional standards for home occupations which could potentially create nuisance impacts, in a subsequent amendment. Existing Provisions The existing home occupation regulations are contained in Articles 6.16.6.1 through 6.16.6.4. 6.16.6.1 provides standards for zoning districts with a minimum lot size of about 1/2 acre or less.. 6.16.6.2 provides standards for lots smaller than 200,000 square feet (4.6 acres) in the AR, R1 and RB zoning districts. 6.16.6.3 provides standards for lots larger than 200,000 square feet in the AR, R1 and RB zoning districts. 6.16.6.4 contains application and approval procedures. The underlying goal of home occupation standards is to minimize any impacts of the home occupation and maintain the residential character of the neighborhood.
