A.
Purpose.
The City recognizes the need to balance its residents' autonomy to
use their homes for work with the expectations of neighboring residents
that the City will protect the property values in and maintain the
integrity of the residential district in which they live and have
invested. These regulations allow and regulate in equitable fashion
the customarily accepted non-residential types of activity carried
on in the residential areas of the City. As such, for Home-Based Businesses
and Home-Based Work undertaken on any lot zoned or used for dwelling
purposes, the following requirements are enacted to protect the public
health and safety (which include all regulations related to Fire and
Building Codes, health and sanitation, transportation, parking, or
traffic control, solid or hazardous waste, pollution, and noise control);
control overcrowding; preserve the residential character of and property
values in residential districts; ensure that the business activity
is compliant with City, State, and Federal law; and confirm that the
business is paying applicable taxes.
