The property in question is zoned Rl and is bounded on the north by 53rd Avenue North, on the east by France Avenue North, and on the south and west by single-family homes. Home occupations with one non-resident employee are special uses under Section 35- 406 of the Zoning Ordinance (attached). The applicant has submitted a letter (attached) describing the home occupation. Mr. Neilson states that his business has been in existence for 19 years, 5 years at its present location (3801 53rd). They provide entertainment of all types to businesses, associations, country clubs, fairs and festivals. They also do special productions and costuming. Most of the business is done by phone and letter and at clients'offices. They do conduct some rehearsals in their offices. The entertainment agency occupies four rooms, an enclosed porch and 1 112 baths in the basement of the residence. Office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and occasionally on Saturday. There is a double driveway and a separate single driveway that together can accommodate up to seven vehicles. There is one employee. One stairway leads to a double garage and there are two other entrances into the office area at ground level. This home occupation is in the special use category because of the employment on the premises of one non-resident. Also of concern are the traffic associated with costume rental and rehearsals and the extent of the residence associated with the home occupation. The single employee does not represent much of an impact on the neighborhood. There is more than enough parking for his trips to the site. The rehearsals occur approximately 6 times a year and parking is off-street on the two driveways available. Costume rental is apparently a sideline and does not represent a significant amount of customer traffic. The home occupation involves approximately 1,250 sq. ft . of the lower level ( this includes a small kitchen area and bathroom) . Two of the rooms, including a 300 sq. ft. porch, are used primarily for costume storage. There is a large family room that can be used for the occasional rehearsals. The main activity area is two rooms, approximately 12' x12' that are used for offices, one for Mr. Neilson and one for Bill Ewald, the employee. The total area used for the home occupation is somewhat less than 50% of the total floor area of the house. The lower level was used as an apartment for approximately 20 years before Mr. Neilson occupied the property. So it is a fairly autonomous working area with little impact on the residential quarters on the main floor. As some of the Commissioners may recall, the City attempted to prevent the expansion of the Lescault residence on Brooklyn Boulevard for home occupation purposes. That attempt was overruled by the district court and Dr. Lescault now has an enlarged chiropractor's office with an additional chiropractor working out of that space. Such a home occupation certainly involves far more traffic than this home occupation. Although the entertainment agency occupies a very large portion of the home, it still occupies less than 50% and is much more innocuous than a chiropractor's office. We feel, therefore, that the special use permit can be approved. 12-8-88 -1- Application No. 88025 continued Recommended conditions of approval include: 1. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances and regulations and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 2. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator and is nontransferable. 3. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off- street on improved space provided by the applicant. 4. Special use permit approval acknowledges employment on the premises of one non-resident employee. 5. Customers shall be served on an appointment -only basis. The applicant shall make no appeals through signery for walk-in traffic from the neighborhood. 12-8-88 -2- CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER PLANNING COMMISSION 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Please take notice that the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center will hold a public hearing on Thursday, December 8, 1988 at approximately 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway to consider the petition described below.
