A workshop was conducted to discuss pet grooming as a home occupation. Permission has been denied for fear that a business in a residential area would create parking issues. Concerns were also voiced over noise issues with too many customers and their pets in a residential neighborhood zoned for a one dog and one cat limit.
The Commissioners were open to revisiting this issue. It was the general consensus that other home occupations denied in the past should also be revisited such as a recurring request for a home barber shop.
It was decided to research this issue in more depth and revisit when all the commissioners are present at the meeting.
