§ 153.391 SPECIAL HOME OCCUPATION PERMITS.
(A)
It is recognized that there are certain part-time or full-time occupations which could be carried out within the confines of ones property which would otherwise be in violation of this chapter but by their nature, are not of such commercial character to be objectionable. There for the Board is empowered to grant special home occupation permits, after public hearing, for those occupations which meet the following conditions:
(1)
The applicant must be a resident of the home for which the permit is being issued;
(2)
No more than one employee outside the immediate family is employed;
(3)
Off street parking is provided;
(4)
No sign larger than two feet by three feet shall be displayed;
(5)
No operation or procedure is involved which would create noise levels higher than that which would be associated with normal household or hobby activities; and
(6)
No operation or procedure is involved which would create or maintain a nuisance. Operation of a business which involves a potential accumulation of junk, inoperable vehicles or parts thereof, used appliances, or similar items outside of any building on the property in question shall be presumed to potentially create or maintain a nuisance.
(B)
The Board shall impose those conditions upon the special home occupation permit which will insure that such use shall not become objectionable. The special home occupation permit is not transferable.
(C)
For non-conforming use, conditional use, and special home occupation permits, the hearing and notification of adjoining property owners provisions set forth in Rule 7 of the Administrative Rules of Zoning Procedure shall apply.
