Ball Street and is zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations. 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. '"'

o
stay with the property, if the current occupants moved their business. "' "''

Foundation had been in the facility six months. She stated there were five employees of
