Dave Kucera addressed the Planning Commission and stated that notices of the public meeting were published twice in the Medford Mail Tribune; on June 11 , 1982, and again on June 13, 1982. He presented a copy of Council Resolution #390, a Resolution of Intent to Amend the Home Occupation Requirements in the Zoning ,Ordinance, and a copy of the proposed Home Occupation Permit. He also introduced the Staff Report dated June 7 , 1982, by Staff member Dave Kucera, and stated that the primary change proposed would be to remove the requirement to obtain a Conditional Use Permit in order to engage in a home occupation, and replace it with a permit procedure administered at the Staff level . The Administrator stated that Resolution No. 390, as adopted, defines the purpose and scope of the proposed Home Occupation Permit, adding that no Home Occupation Permit may be transferred or assigned and that any permit can be revoked if it has been found that any condition has been violated. The Resolution also provides exclusions for beauty shops, barber shops , and child care facilities,but the Administrator stated that Council expressed some reservations about the exclusion of child care facilities, because they felt child care belonged. in the reaidential areas. The Administrator stated that under the current procedure the application of a $100 fee was required with the Conditional Use Permit, and the proposal would require a ' one-time only $10 fee, adding that the primary reason this proposal was initiated by. staff is because of the continued struggle that occurs when people come into the City Hall and ask for a Business License, as most of the time it is for a small use, and people are not interested in applying for a Conditional Use Permit and paying $100. Pat Himmelman stated that she was very concerned with the exclusion of small baby sitting services in the home, as she feels they are needed and should be allowed. Chairman Fredericks stated that he, personally, felt that a small sign should be allowed, stating that it would enable the person looking for a service to have an easier time locating it. Commissioner Ellard stated that he would not be in favor of signs in a residential area. Commissioner Himmelman stated that she was not in favor of signs in a residential area.
