Burge has applied for a non-exempt home occupation permit to conduct <br />piano and voice lessons in an existing residence located at 3495 Isle Royal Court; <br />and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, zoning for the property is R-I-6,500 District; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, at its duly noticed public hearing of February 25, 1998, the Planning Commission <br />considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits, and recommendations ofthe <br />City staff concerning this application; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, projects of this nature are categorically exempt from the requirements of the <br />California Enviromnental Quality Act (CEQA); therefore, no enviromnental <br />document was prepared for this project. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission made the following findings: <br /> <br />A.
