Re: Daycare Operation — Home Occupation Permit Requirement
Dear Chris:
I am writing to inform you that, as a home based daycare business owner /operator, City Ordinance
401.15.N. Day Care Nursery Facilities requires that you obtain a home occupation permit in addition to
any County or State licensing requirements for you're your business operation. This requirement is
based upon land use requirements for the city and the zoning classification of your residence.
The zoning classification of your residence is R -1, single - family residential. This classification permits
daycare facilities serving twelve (12) or fewer persons. Daycares within this zoning classification
serving greater than 12 persons to receive a home occupation permit through a conditional use permit
process as outlined in City Ordinance 401.03.
The Department of Human Services lists your daycare operation as a class 2 daycare with a capacity of
12 persons. With this letter, you are being requested to secure a home occupation permit subject to
the requirements of a Permitted Home Occupation, including annual renewal.
For your convenience, I have enclosed City Ordinances 401.22, R -1, Single Family Residential District,
401.15.N, Day Care Nursery Facilities, 401.15.M, Home Occupations, 401.03, Administration —
Amendments and Conditional Use Permits, and a Home Occupation Permit application.
Kindly review the information, then complete and submit to me, the Home Occupation Permit
application and application fee prior to January 1, 2009. Upon receipt, I will facilitate your permit
request.
I appreciate your prompt attention. Please feel free to call or email with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Ju Hultman
