Municipal Code entitled "Zoning" by modifying the <br />prohibitions and conditions concerning Home <br />Occupations." Proof of publication and notice of <br />public hearing were established. <br />Mayor Fauson opened the public hearing and turned <br />the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tem Mohr. Mayor <br />Fauson excused himself from the proceedings on this <br />issue due to a possible conflict of interest. <br />Wanush stated that the Planning Commission reviewed <br />an amendment to the zoning ordinance text which <br />will allow beauty parlors/barber shops (one chair) <br />as home occupations at their meeting on January 12, <br />1988. Barber shops and beauty parlors are currently <br />excluded as home occupations under Section 17.16.040 <br />(H) of the Louisville Municipal Code. <br />Planning Commission recommended approval to an <br />amendment of this Section of the City's Code to <br />permit beauty parlors/barber shops as a home <br />occupation and that this occupation must be <br />conducted by members of the family occupying the <br />dwelling, with no servant, employee, or other person <br />being engaged, and that this occupation shall be <br />limited to one chair and the hours of operation <br />shall be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. In <br />addition, prior to the issuance of a business <br />license, proof must be submitted to demonstrate that <br />the State has issued a license to the proposed <br />operator and has certified the location as <br />appropriate. <br />Wanush presented examples of this type of home <br />occupation in various communities presenting the <br />types of guidelines/criteria used in regulating <br />beauty parlors/barber shops as home occupations. <br />Alternatives to be considered by Council include: 1) <br />Leaving the current ordinance excluding beauty <br />parlors and barber shops as home occupations as is; <br />2) Subject all requests for barber shops and beauty <br />parlors in residential districts to the Special <br />Review Use Process; 3) Eliminate the exclusionary <br />wording of the Municipal Code and allow this use <br />without further restriction; 4) Eliminate the <br />exclusionary wording in the City's Code and add <br />appropriate restrictions not covered by current home <br />occupation regulations. Staff recommends the fourth <br />alternative adding the following restrictions: 1) <br />home occupations must be conducted by members of the <br />family occupying t:he dwelling, with no servant, <br />employee, or other person being engaged; and 2) <br />barber and beauty shops shall be limited to one <br />chair. <br />4 <br />
