Councilman Manasco stated that there are no provisions for Home Occupations in any of the zones other than R-3 area, and we are talking about a C-4 Zone. Both Councilmen Rowe and Manasco advised that the zoning ordinance as written makes no mention of Home Occupa- tion in the C-4 Zone and in order to permit a home occupation, referral would have to be made to the R-3 Zones, and any action taken other than this would be beyond the zoning ordinance.
