Nearing e4 �CCQ FROM: Staff Planner, Long-RangEPllnES: REPEAL AND RECREATION OF THE HOME OCCUPATION SEC- TION OF THE ROSE -4 ZONING DISTRICT REGULATIONS, AND PROVISION FOR THE GRAND- FATHERING OF QUALIFIED EXISTING BUSINESSES It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of January 19, 1988. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS This is a County initiated request to amend the Home Occupation provisions of Section 15. ROSE -4: Roseland Residential District of Appendix A of the Zoning Code. These provisions currently permit specific home occupation uses within the ROSE -4 District which are not permitted in other residential districts of the County. Further, it is the intent of this request to establish specific criteria which will permit certain existing businesses to continue operating as nonconforming uses. These businesses will be governed under Section 25 (J), nonconformities, of the General Provisions section of the Zoning Code. On February 24, 1987, the Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve Ordinance #87-22 which amended the Rose -4 Zoning District. This amendment permitted a broader range of home occupations in the ROSE -4 District than allowed in all other residential districts. Although approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the special home occupation provisions for the Rose -4 district were opposed by both the staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission. The additional occupations permitted under this amendment are as follows: a. Metal working and casting; b. Contractor's office and storage of contractors materials, tools and equipment; c. Lawn mower and small engine sales, service and repair; d. Service businesses (provided there shall be no more than one sign advertising the same not in excess of four square feet in size). Also incorporated within that amendment were specific criteria with which any proposed home occupation use would have to comply. These are as follows: The activity is conducted only by living within the residence; Products are not offered for sale and from the premises except provided; Any evidence of the occupation street by type A screening; Traffic is not generated in excess residential uses; The property has be qualified) for purposes; and All home occupation requirements. members of the family to the general public as herein otherwise is screened from the of that customary for been qualified for (and continues to homestead exemption for ad valorem tax JAN 19 1988 activities must meet yard setback 41 BOOK 70 f v,E. 601
