AMENDMENT 12 -01, ADDING NEW CHAPTER 5.41 TO THE
ROSEMEAD MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE LICENSING
AND REGULATION OF HOME OCCUPATIONS; AND AMENDING
CHAPTERS 17.16, 17.20, 17.24, AND 17.74 OF THE ROSEMEAD
MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS
FOR HOME OCCUPATIONS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . Findings. The following findings are adopted in support of
the amendment to the City of Rosemead Municipal Code to allow home occupations in
the R -1 (Single - Family Residential), R -2 (Light Multiple Residential), R -3 (Medium
Multiple Residential), and RC -MUDO (Residential /Commercial Mixed Use Development
Overlay) zones upon the approval of a Home Occupation Business License.
A. The City Council of the City of Rosemead wishes to expand business
opportunities for residents who desire to conduct home occupation activities from their
residence in a manner in which is compatible with residential neighborhoods; and
B. The City Council finds that permitting home occupations that are incidental
and subordinate to the use of the property as a residence is of benefit to the City
because it will help the local economy by enabling residents to establish home
occupations, and will decrease the need of residents to commute to jobs outside the
City; and
C. The City Council finds that it is necessary and appropriate to provide
uniform and comprehensive procedures for the regulation of home occupations to
protect and preserve the quality and character of the residential areas in the City, and
the quality of life through effective land use planning; and
D. It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to establish restrictions,
conditions, and regulations for home occupations to assure that the residential
commercial activities will not disrupt, become a nuisance, disturb, or modify the
residential character of the neighborhoods; and
E. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public
convenience, health, safety, or general welfare of the City, and
SECTION 2 . The City Council hereby makes a finding of adequacy with
the Negative Declaration and HEREBY ADOPTS the Negative Declaration, as the
environmental clearance for Municipal Code Amendment 12 -01.
1
The City Council, having final approval authority over this project, has reviewed
and considered all comments received during the public review period prior to the
approval of this project.
SECTION 3. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that
Municipal Code Amendment 12 -01 is in the best interest of the public necessity and
general welfare, and good City planning practice dictates and supports the proposed
municipal code amendment, in that the change to the Rosemead Municipal Code will
provide a superior level of planning and protection to the quality and character of the
City.
SECTION 4. The City Council FINDS AND DETERMINES that it is
necessary and appropriate to provide a uniform and comprehensive set of regulations
for the establishment of home occupations in residential zoning districts. The
regulations are intended to provide appropriate oversight for commercial activities taking
place in residential zones. The regulations are designed to ensure that residential
commercial business activity will not disrupt, become a nuisance, disturb, or modify the
character of the residential areas within the City of Rosemead.
SECTION 5. The City Council FURTHER FINDS AND DETERMINES that
Municipal Code Amendment 12 -01 is consistent with the Rosemead General Plan as
follows:
Municipal Code Amendment 12 -01 is consistent with the Rosemead General
Plan Land Use Goals and Policies. Since a home occupation would be an incidental,
accessory use to the primary use of residential property, the approval of home
occupation regulations would not alter the purpose or intent of the residential land use
categories in the City. The adoption of a unified set of regulatory standards for home
occupations is consistent with Land Use Goal 5 to target land use changes that improve
housing and economic opportunities for residents and businesses and achieve fiscal
and environmental objectives.
The public necessity, convenience, and general welfare will be served by the
adoption of the home occupation regulations that provides for a ministerial licensing
process that requires the residential business activity to comply with standards that
restrict use, location, employees, vehicles, traffic, appearance, storage, and nuisances.
NOW, THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Rosemead, County of Los
Angeles, State of California, does hereby find, determine and ordain as follows:
SECTION 6. Code Amendment. Chapter 5.41 (Home Occupations) shall
be added to Title 5 of the Rosemead Municipal Code to read as follows:
