PROPOSAL
The applicant has been operatinga business (power washing business) from this property since
2006 without the required zoning.
In March 2016, the Planning Department received a complaint relative to the operation of a power
washing business on the request property. Upon investigation, staff observed two (2) company
vehicles, one (1) with power washing equipment located in the truck bed. In addition, off-site
employees were reporting to the property to pick-up the vehicle with equipment in the truck bed.
The applicant conveyed to staff that part of the residence and property is used as an office and
parking area for the equipment involved in the business. Two (2) companyvehicles are parked in
the driveway, and two (2) employees report to the property to pick up company vehicle with the
power washing equipment and return it later in the day. These components of the business
exceed the ordinance limitations for a permitted home occupation, requiring a conditional use.
The following provides an overview of conditions recommended by staff to minimize the impact of
the use on area properties:

Assembly & Group Instruction
Condition 9
Staff finds that the applicants’ request may adversely impact adjoining residential properties by
allowing a commercial use to encroach into an established residential area. The continuation of
vehicle and equipment storage on the property as well as having employees report to the
premises would not be compatible with existing residential development and permitted land uses.
