Special Home Occupation
Supporting Information
(This form must be filled out completely before your application will be accepted)
The Zoning Board of Adjustment can grant a Special Home Occupation only if all of the
following criteria are met. In order to facilitate review of this application for a Special Home
Occupation, the applicant must address each of the criteria set forth in Section 29.1304(3) of the
Zoning Ordinance, which are listed below.
(Note: The applicant's explanation of how the request meets each standard may be attached on
a separate sheet if sufficient space is not provided.)
1. Criteria for Special Home Occupations. The Zoning Board of Adjustment shall review
each application for the purpose of determining that all of the following criteria are met:
(a) Area to be Used.
(i) The activity shall be conducted in a manner that will not alter the normal residential
character of the premises or, in any way cause a nuisance to adjoining residents, or
shall there be any structural alteration to accommodate the occupation. There should
be no emission of smoke, dust, odor, fumes, glare, noises, vibration, electrical or
electronic disturbances detectable at the lot line that would exceed that normally
produced by a single residence. Special noise exceptions will be allowed for day-
care homes due to the nature of the clients using the facility. Please indicate any
changes that will be made to the premises and identify any problems that may
be detectable at the lot line.

feet of the total dwelling unit, exclusive of baths, hallways, closets, kitchens, and
dining areas. The dining area may be included in the square footage calculation if
used by day care participants for activities other than meals. Please indicate the

criteria.

(e) Traffic.
The activity shall not generate significantly greater traffic volumes than would
normally be expected in a residential area. Not more than ten (10) vehicular visits
allowed per day shall be allowed. An exception to the number of visits allowed per
day may be permitted for family day care homes due to the number of children or
adults allowed on-site and the need for parent or caregiver contact during the day.
The delivery and pick up of materials or commodities to the premises by commercial
vehicles shall not interfere with the delivery of other services to the area.
Explain how the request meets this standard.
(f) Parking Criteria.

requirement where two (2) or more clients are likely to visit the premises
concurrently.

site. This requirement shall not be construed to prohibit occasional exceptions for
such events as meetings, conferences, demonstrations, or similar events that are in
no way a nuisance to adjoining residences.
