GENERAL BUSINESS
Discuss change to 18.12.030(G)2.a — Major Home Occupations.
To add the ability of a person with a Major Home Occupation to have one (1) employee who does not
reside in the home.
Andrus stated that the city has had requests from home occupations applicants to be allowed to have an
outside employee. After talking to the Chubbuck City Police Department because they inspect daycare
facilities, it does not increase their work load if daycare owners are allowed to have extra help at certain
times of the day. After researching what other cities allow Andrus feels it would benefit home
occupations to allow one (1) temporary employee other than a resident of that home.
Holmes stated that with the current recession more people are trying to survive by working out of their
homes and does not see a problem.
Eborn asked for clarification regarding daycare licensing.
Holmes stated that daycare providers have a separate code and will have to be licensed.
Burch stated that the change addresses two different issues. 1 -Under the new provision home
occupation is allowed to have one (1) employee. 2 -In addition to the one employee the city will allow in
a daycare setting a temporary employee that meets the criteria of less than 14 consecutive days.
Andrus clarified this is for home daycare allowing 12 children which includes their own children.
Anderson stated if language needs to be changed let Tom know. If the board agrees with the language, a
motion would be made for a public hearing.
