The property was leased by the Foundation for office uses without realizing that it was not zoned for office uses. The site does not meet the definition of a "customary home occupation" since it is not secondary to the principal residential use and is not owner/resident occupied. Within the "R-7.5" Single Family District guidelines, a non-profit organization of an educational, religious, or cultural type can be considered through the use of a conditional use request. Mr. Stombaugh advised that if the conditional use is granted that the conditional use would stay with the property, if the current occupants moved their business. Ms. Debbie Ryan requested favorable consideration of the application stating the Foundation had been in the facility six months. She stated there were five employees of the Foundation and that they park their cars in the backyard of the facility.
