A. Fees shall be determined from time to time by the City Council.

B. A home occupation is exempt from the business license fee unless the combined off-site impact of the business, together with the primary residential use, is anticipated to or is shown to materially exceed the off-site impact of the primary residential use alone. The Code Compliance Officer, or other City employee as designated by the City Manager, shall determine the anticipation or existence of such impacts.

1. In-home child or adult care businesses;

2. Preschools;

3. Businesses that require or attract more than five vehicle trips per day, including but not limited to package delivery, client or customer visits, and employee trips;

4. Any business that is required to have a fire inspection due to possible hazardous storage or activities;

5. Any home or property that requires any modification requiring a building permit to accommodate the business operations;

7. Any home occupation where the combined off-site impact of the home occupation and the primary residential use materially exceeds the off-site impact of the primary residential use alone as determined by the City at its discretion after having inspected the home occupation in response to complaints from surrounding property owners.
