§ 17.33.300. Permit requirements.

It shall be unlawful to establish a home occupation without a town-issued permit under this chapter. Home occupations (including cottage food operations, or CFO) shall be permitted as an accessory land use activity related to a dwelling unit subject to obtaining town approval and issuance of a home occupation permit. To apply for a home occupation permit, the following information must be submitted to the town community development department:

A.

A completed home occupation permit application form and detailed plot plan drawn to scale, along with payment of the processing fee in effect at the time of application. If the applicant is not the owner of the property, proof of agency on behalf of or from the property owner must be submitted in writing in order to legally process the application.

B.

A detailed written project description that describes the proposal, the setting of the neighborhood, proximity to neighboring residences, the level of noise generated by the proposal, parking demand of the home occupation, and the anticipated increase in traffic generated by the project.

C.

A written explanation describing how the proposed home occupation complies with the standards and criteria set forth in Section 17.33.500 of this chapter.

D.

Any additional information deemed necessary by the planning director to fully understand the proposed project.

E.

If the property upon which the home occupation would be conducted is afforded access by a private road, the applicant shall submit written evidence indicating that all property owners having legal interest in the private road have no objection to the proposed home occupation.

F.

If the type of proposed home occupation or cottage food operation has the potential to increase wastewater flows (e.g., food processing, catering, hair and nail salons or pet grooming), the application shall be accompanied by material evidence showing that the existing sewage disposal system serving the residence has a valid and current operating permit issued by the Town of Paradise.
