Home Occupation Discussion
April 12, 2023
At the March 22, 2023 meeting, the topic of modifying the Home Occupation title to a different
name was discussed. After researching other cities, the term Home Occupation is the
standard title for such use. Staff recommendation is to retain the title if necessary we can work
on the definition to include language used by other cities.
