Subject: Home Occupation Permit
~
Dear Mrs. Brundage:
Thank you for your application for a Home Occupation Permit. Your permit has
been approved with Conditions which appear further in this letter.
A Home Occupation is a regulated, non~residential activity occurrin9 within a
dwelling unit in a residential district. It is of paramount importance the
home occupation be conducted so that the residence does not appear to be a
business. A home occupation must not infringe on the nei9hbors ri9hts to enjoy
the peaceful occupancy of their homes.
The Home Occupation provision is in reco9nition of the needs of many people who
are engaged in smallMscale businesses which could not be supported if
commercial properties were required, or which, due to the nature of the Home
Occupation, cannot be expanded to a full scale business.
In the description of your proposal you said that the business and sign have
been in place since before the property was incorporated. Lane County
regulated the activities of Home Occupations prior to incorporation. Lane
County's standards permit a smaller sign than the City's and the County
regulates that "Customer and cl ient contact shall be primarily by telephone,
mail or in their homes and places of business..." and that "There shall be no
commodity sold upon the premises, except that products made or sold may be
disposed of by delivery from the premises to the homes or places of business of
customers". Because Lane County's Horne Occupation re9ulations would not have
permitted a wholesale business at this property, the City cannot consider your
use to he pre~existing Non-Conforming.
Conditions of "pproval: (Section 3.070(3) "...Conditions r.lay be applied to
Development Approval under Type I procedure when such conditions,are required
to assure the development complies with this Code".
1. All customer, client contact must occur by nail, telephone or off-site.
2.

3. The existing yard sign must be removed. A si9n meeting the Conditions of
Operation #1 on the agreement may be used if mounted on the wall of the
building.
4. Conditions #I~9 of the Home Occupation A9reement.
This decision becomes final within 10 days of the date of this letter unless
appealed in accordance with Article 15 of the Springfield Developmlent Code.
If appealed the Plannilng Commission will hear the appeal.
Again, thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please contact this
office if you have questions. .
Cordially,
