Due to this, it may be necessary to keep the home occupation as a special exception so that when
an application is submitted for a home occupational license the Board of Adjustment will be able
to address the way the business may impact the surrounding property. This Board is limited to
what is brought before them as it is. However this other way of handling the home occupational
licenses by administrative decision may better benefit both the City and the applicant.
Member Mueller moved to table the amendment to Volume One of the Unified Land Development
Code (Land Development Regulations - LDRs) specifically to all sections regulating home
occupation to the next regular meeting. Member Ledferd seconded the motion.
