Reynolds , Secretary RE: Code Amendment No. 72-14 Instruction in the Home ATTN: David D. Rowlands, City Administrator The City Council continued the public hearing on Code Amendment No. 72-14 until September 18 , 1972 in order that a better formula be developed to determine the limitation on the number of individuals per session that may be permitted when conducting a home occupation. The Planning Commission approved a limitation of three (3) individuals per session under Code Amendment No. 72-14. The Planning Staff conducted a survey of the existing home occupation permits with respect to "instruction in the home" and finds that none have been permitted. Such instruction in the home has been discouraged because the following provisions of the Huntington Beach Ordinance Code would be violated: 1. The business shall be restricted to one room only in the dwelling. . . . (Note: This restriction would prohibit swimming pool. instruction) . 2. The occupation shall not be of a type which generates pedestrian or vehicular traffic "beyond that normal to" the particular neigh= borhood. (Note: Emphasis added because "beyond that normal tor! has been interpreted as no additional traffic) . F' t . 3. The occupation shall not create noise. . . . discernible at the boundaries of the parcel. (Note: Music, singing, and dancing lessons have been construed to violate this provision) . The Planning Staff then contacted five cities with comparable population to discuss their experience with instruction in the home. Their comments were as follows : Anaheim: Instruction in the home is not permitted as most of the time it gets out of hand. The only vehicle permitting such might be a con- ditional use permit or a variance: none have been granted. Garden Grove: Our experience has been that the more that is permitted in the home the more problems you will have. Garden Grove permits a mailing address only and no services. Riverside: No provisions for instruction in the home. . . . . would discourage same. The problems they have faced are with respect to parking and traffic. Santa Ana: No intention of permitting instruction in the home. . . . too many problems. Torrance: Instruction in the home is specifically excluded and nobody is permitted to the home for a service or business , although, the Planning Commission has authorized one or two students per session with no more than three per day for music lessons. The Planning Staff has frequently been asked to approve home occupations for instruction in the home and there is no guide or magic number which can be used. The number three (3) which appears in Code Amendment No. 72-14 is a judgement on the part of Staff and Planning Commission as being a reasonable number based on the types of requests' made. It is also felt, in view of the above, that this would be a liberalization of the home occupation provisions as instruction in the home is not, at this time, permitted. The Planning Staff also proposes that the word "individual" as used in Code Amendment No. 72-14 is defined as one person and not a couple or trio, etc. If the City Council elects to modify the number of individuals per session, then Code Amendment No. 72-14 should be referred back to the Planning Commission for recommendation.

Although there is a 10 day appeal period, we suggest that the matter be set for the earliest possible City Council meeting, because the purpose of any appeal is to have a hearing before the City Council and this is already being accomplished. We further suggest that you not accept any appeal, as it will serve no purpose. If approval has been recommended other than as requested, the City Council will be required to hold a public hearing on this matter. However, there is a possibility that the Planning Commission's decision will be appealed; therefore, we suggest that publication be held off until the 10 day appeal period has expired. If denial has been recommended, the City Council may summarily deny the request. However, we suggest that the matter not be scheduled on the City Council agenda until the 10 day appeal period has expired.
