Included in lhis license application were conditions,which must be met in order for a home occupation to be approved. As the applicant you signed the application acknowiedging the restrictions on home occupalions. The City of Everett Planning Department reviewed and approved ihis business license application on December 22, 2003. Included in this approval were several notations,a copy of which was sent wilh your approved business license. These notations included the following condilions: 1) Garage sales are limited lo lwo times a year; 2) No client visits to the residence and no display of products; 3)A use permit is required for retail sales occurring on sile and for lhe display of products. A field visit was performed on February 10, 2004, al which time it was noted that the front yard was set up with tables displaying gift baskets for sale. The display of product and customer visits to the home is not permitted under the home occupation license approval. IF you desire to display products and have client visits to lhe home, lhen you will need to apply for a Use Permit. The Use Permit applicalion is a land use application which is reviewed by various City departments. The appiication allows an applicant to change the use of a property to another permitted use in the zone, in your case from a single-family residence into a retail establishmenl. The change from single family lo commercial uses typically requires some site improvements, inciuding paving parking areas, installing Iandscaping, and possible building improvements. Upon review of a use permit application the City will issue a fi:ial decision which will contain conditions of approval. All of the conditions of approval must be met prior to use of the slructure for commercial purposes. At this time the business activity will need to be brought inlo conformance with the approved home occupation license, which includes lhe prohibition of client visits to lhe_'te, and prohibition on product displays. If the above conditions cannot be met for your business activity then you will need to apply for a use permit and comply wilh the conditions of approvai. We look ioiward lo working with you to resolve this matter. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further the use permit process, or request a copy oF the application please feel free to contact me al(425)257-7281.
