OOMMERCIAL USES IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
For the purpose of interpreting what is meant by "commercial uses" in the
residential areas, the City Council finds that as a matter of policy said
term shall be defined as follows:
1. Those activities which are pursued in a residential
district for pecuniary gain by an art or profession
by the offering of a service, or by the conduct of a
business which is related to or connected with trade,
traffic or commerce.
2. Those business activities employing personnel and
involving direct contact between individuals
in furtherance of commercial transactions.
3. Those business activities where there may be the
production, manufacture, storage, display or
sale of equipment and /or merchandise on the
property and signing advertising the business.
4. Those business activities which generally disturb
or alter the residential character of the neighborhood
because of their unsightliness; because they cause
offensive noise, ordor or vibration; because they
interfere with radio or television reception; or
because they generate unwarranted customer and
vehicle traffic and parking problems.
The following activities as a matter of policy are found not to be within
the definition of what constitutes a "commercial use" within a residential
district and therefore are permitted, subject to obtaining a business license
from the Finance Director and subject to all other State and local laws and
ordinances:
1. Those activities which are accessory or
incidental to and secondary to the resi-
dential use of a dwelling and do not change
the principal character or use of the dwelling.
2. Those artistic or creative writing activities
which result in the creation of a product or
manuscript which is normally sold or traded at
some location away from the residential area.
3. Those activities involving mail orders or
telephone solicitation which are conducted by
mail and telephone only.
