6. PUBLIC HEARINGS a. UP-95-51. Steven R. Slinka Application for a conditional use permit for a secondary unit located at 4074 Suffolk Way. Zoning for the property is R-I-6,5oo District. Continued to October 25, 1995. b. UP-95-52. Judv Morris Application for a conditional use permit to establish a non-exempt home occupation for a stress relief business located at 1174 Blanc Court. Zoning for the property is R-l- 6,500 District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report for a non-exempt home occupation permit to conduct individual meditation and stress relief classes at the applicant's home at 1174 Blanc Court. The applicant proposes to operate her business Tuesday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with only one client per session. There will be a maximum of three one and one- half hour sessions per day. One bedroom in the applicant's home has been converted into an office. The driveway will be utilized for client parking, and there will be a fifteen-minute break between sessions. Therefore, staff feels the traffic impact to the neighborhood will be very minor. Soft music will be utilized for the meditation sessions. One letter was received by staff from a neighbor who asked that the applicant's business not be allowed to grow any larger. The neighbor was concerned that there would be two home- based businesses on the street (at the present, there is a daycare home operating on the street) . In light of the above, staff is able to make the use permit findings and recommends approval of Case UP-95-52, subject to the conditions of the staff report. Commissioner McGuirk inquired if the applicant's letter is part of the permanent record because the applicant's letter states more specifically what type of business and services will be provided by this non-exempt home business. Mr. Iserson agreed that the staff report was not very specific, however, the conditions of approval reference the applicant's statement of operations which contains the specifics of how the business is to be conducted. Commissioner McGuirk also noted the Commission has been approving several home-based businesses recently, and noted that in this particular case there is another home-based business on the court. Mr. Iserson noted that staff visited the applicant's home and monitored the parking and traffic situation. He advised that the traffic would be so minimal, that all clients would be required to park in the driveway, that the use should be allowable even with a daycare across the street.
