PURPOSE:
Application of Sharon A.

RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: No Quorum.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval with conditions.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with conditions.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed in- home occupation with customer contact should not have any adverse impact on adjacent and surrounding properties. The exterior of the existing single-family residence is not proposed for alterations, therefore remaining compatible with surrounding dwellings in the area. Given that the existing driveway can accommodate off-street parking for clients, there should be no impact on adjacent properties. The proposed use would not create adverse impacts on adjoining properties by way of noise, smoke, odor, dust or vibration. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Department that the application be, “Approved, subject to Staff’s recommended conditions”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: 7-0-1. P. Womack, Jr. moved. L. Osler seconded for approval with modification to condition #2: Start time of 7:30 a.m. on Thursdays and close time of "90 minutes after sunset" on Saturdays, no later than 9:00 p.m. The Board also asked for a clearer definition of the operation times to be defined before the BOC. V. Moore abstained.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: No quorum. The three members present were in favor of the petition with conditions that the owner be the only operator and that the SLUP is non-transferable to another user.
