Blazek Location: 6515 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Home Occupation - Special Use Permit The applicant requests special use permit approval for a home occupation to construct picnic tables in the garage of the residence at 6515 Brooklyn Boulevard. The single- family residence, in which the home occupation is located, is zoned R5 and is sur- rounded by other single-family homes and by Brooklyn Boulevard. Although the single-family dwelling is a nonconforming use in the R5 zone, Section 35-111 of the Zoning Ordinance allows for the full usuage of the property as a single-family dwelling including home occupations. The applicant has submitted information regarding the proposed home occupation (attached). The hours during which Mr. Blazek would be making picnic tables would range at the outside from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday -Friday, and occasional work on Saturdays. At present, he does not spend nearly this much time on the home occupation, but wishes the flexibility to work within those hours. Sales occur at various times. While the Zoning Ordinance regarding Home Occupations prohibits the sale of goods produced off the premises, it does apparently allow for sale of goods produced on the premises (see Section 35-900 attached). Examples would be dressmaking and other individual hobby craft. Staff would recommend that more emphasis be placed on the hours that sales are likely to occur. Building of the tables should probably be restricted to hours suggested by the applicant so long as conflict with surrounding properties is minimal. The applicant uses a 7;"skill saw in making the tables. He has a fire extinguisher installed in the garage for safety. Parking available for customers is ample with a double driveway along the north side of the property and a five -car -wide driveway that is shared with the residence to the south which allows vehicles to turn around and enter Brooklyn Boulevard head first. There is presently one 2 sq. ft. sign which reads "Picnic Tables - 535-6504." This is within the 22 sq. ft. permitted by ordinance. The Building Official has not yet inspected the premises as of the writing of this report. It is suggested that any approval of the special use permit be subject to conformance with his recommendations. It should be noted that the applicant has engaged in building picnic tables for past 10 years, though not necessarily at this location. Staff did not become aware of the home occupation by way of complaint, nor have we received any complaints in the past regarding the use of saws, etc.at 6515 Brooklyn Boulevard. The Zoning Ordinance stipulates that noise from a home occupation not be per- ceptible beyond the property line. Technically, the only thing that makes this occupation a special use is the fact that it is located in an accessory structure. In other cases where accessory structures are involved, the Planning Commission and City Council have required that the home occupation not occupy more than half the ground cover of the access- ory structure. Such a condition is recommended here as well. Since the proposed use does not seem to have a negative impact on surrounding property, and is secondary and incidental to the residential use of the premises, its approval is recommended, subject to at least the following conditions: 6-25-81 -1- Application 81045 continued 1. The permit is issued to the applicant as operator of the home occupation and is nontransferable. 2. The permit is subject to all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations, and any violation thereof shall be grounds for revocation. 3. The hours of operation shall be as follows: Manufacture of Tables: not after 6:00 p.m. Monday -Saturday. Sale of Tables: not after 9:00 p.m. Monday -Friday, nor after 6:00 p.m. Saturday. 4. Noise from the operation shall not be perceptible beyond the premises on which it is located. 5. All parking associated with the home occupation shall be off-street on improved space provided by the applicant. 6. The home occupation shall not occupy an area more than one-half of the area of the structure in which it is located. 7. The home occupation shall conform with the recommendations of the Building Official prior to the issuance of the special use permit. 8. Signery related to the home occupation is subject to the provisions of the Sign Ordinance. 9. Any outside storage of materials or finished product shall be totally screened from public view and shall be limited in area to 500 sq. ft. 6-25-81 -2- APPLICATION NO. 81045 -�
