The operation has no employees. The natural and general character of the geographic
area is not likely to be negatively affected by the limited operations of the center that will
occur on the property. Oakdale Drive is a paved, minor collector roadway that can
support the proposed traffic. Parking will be required to be accommodated on site.
b. There is nothing to indicate that the proposed use would devalue adjacent and
surrounding properties.
c. The proposed use is expected to be primarily held in a room within the home. It is not
expected this use will generate any nuisance conditions related to odor, light, or glare.
Some noise is expected related to people on the property similar to that of other property
owners holding regular gatherings with friends and family.
d. There are no environmental concerns, including but not limited to dra
wells and wetland issues related to this project. Should it be determined
the driveway
must be expanded at a later date to accommodate additional vehicles, a wetland
delineation and final grading plan will be reviewed and approved administratively at that
time to confirm no environmental impacts.
e. The home occupation appears unlikely to have a negative impact on neighboring
properties. Parking must be accommodated on site, and a majority of the approved
activities will be within a room of the house. Larger events are expected to be seldom.
f. The application for a CHOL is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, public facilities,
and capital improvement plans. The business will be conducted in an enclosed building
and will not generate any nuisance conditions that would endanger the public health,
safety, morals or comfort of the community nor will it be injurious to the use and
enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. The operation does not demand
any additional public services or facilities and conforms to the performance standards of
the Zoning Ordinance,
6. The home occupation must comply with the following standards:
a. No new signage for the home occupation is proposed or approved. Any new signage will
require an amendment to the Interim Use Permit for the Conditional Home Occupation
License.

approval, the term "classes" includes gatherings and meetings related to or associated
with the Khacholing Center or organizations of a similar nature.

understood to be proof of parking. Should the City document or the applicant find a
