SECTION 1.
That Section 17.08.280 of Chapter 17.08 of Title 17 of
the Municipal Code of the City of Bakersfield is hereby amended to
read as follows:
17.08.280 Home Occupation. HOME OCCUPATION: Any use or occupa-
tion conducted or carried on by the occupant of a dwelling, which is
clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the structure for
dwelling purposes and which does not change the character thereof.
The following criteria shall apply in the evaluation, by
the Planning Department, of a "Home Occupation."
1. It shall not involve the use of signs or structures
other than those permitted in the R-1 Zone.
2. The residence address will not be used for advertising
purposes of any kind. Nor shall any other residence address be used
for advertising purposes in connection with the home occupation.
3. It shall not involve the use of commercial vehicles
for delivery of materials to or from the premises, other than a
~ehicle not to exceed one ton, owned by the operator of such home
occupation, which shall be stored in a garage, if there is one; if
there is no garage on the premises any such materials including
stock, wares, goods, samples, or equipment, carried in the vehicle
shall be concealed so as not to be visible from the street, side-
walk or alley when such vehicle is parked at such residence.
4. There shall be no retail sales at the residence.and
there shall be no services performed at the residence for persons
who have come to the residence for such services. Customers,
clients, or prospective customers or clients shall not be invited
to the residence for the purpose of purchasing or obtaining or con-
sidering the ~purchasing or obtaining of merchandise, wares, goods,
equipment or service. The term "invited" shall be construed to
include the making of appointments with customers or clients or
prospective customers or clients for the performing of services at
the residence.
5. No noise, pedestrian or vehicular traffic or activity
which constitutes a nuisance or disturbance of the peace of any person
shall be produced or made at the residence in connection with the
home occupation.
6. No displays, models or samples shall be exhibited on
the premises.
7. In no way shall the appearance of the structure be
so altered or the conduct of the occupation within the structure
be such that the structure may be reasonably recognized as serving
a nonresidential use (either by color, materials or construction,
lighting, signs, sounds or noises, vibrations, et~.).
8. Any stock, wares, goods, materials, samples, merchan-
dise or equipment stored on the premises shall be entirely within
the building and not visible from the street, sidewalk or alley and
shall not interfere with the residential use or endanger any person.
9. No employees, salesmen or other help, including
independent contractors, partners or joint ventures hired, engaged,
or retained by the permittee, other than members of the immediate
or resident family, shall perform any work at the premises or go to
or upon the premises in conjunction with the home occupation.
10. There shall be no processing or manufacturing of goods,
wares or merchandise permitted at the premises, in conjunction with
the home occupation.
The granting of such home occupation permit is conditioned
on the faithful compliance with all the regulations set forth herein
and does not relieve the permittee from complying with applicable
state and city laws for health and safety° The City Council is
empowered to revoke the home occupation permit, upon reasonable
notice to the permittee and upon a hearing, when the Planning
Director reports any persistent violation of any of such regulations.
SECTION 2.
This ordinance shall become effective thirty days from
and after the date of its passage.
