<br /> 74 <br />C. Cottage Food Operation Permit—Compliance with Standards. The Zoning Enforce- <br />ment Official shall grant a permit for the cottage food operation only if after review of <br />the application for such permit, inspection of the premises and any other necessary <br />information, the Zoning Enforcement Official determines that the application complies <br />with the following standards: <br /> <br />1. Spacing. No cottage food operation shall be located within 150 feet of any other <br />cottage food operation, as measured from the exterior lot lines along the property <br />frontages. <br /> <br />2. On-Street Parking. No cottage food operation shall be located upon a lot having <br />less than 32 feet of legally permitted parking along the frontage of the lot. <br /> <br />3. Employee Parking and Customer Parking Circulation Plan. The driveway of a cot- <br />tage food operation may be used to provide off-street parking required by Chapter <br />4.08 Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations if such use will not obstruct a <br />sidewalk or other public right-of-way. <br /> <br />The applicant shall provide the Zoning Enforcement Official with a written plan for <br />the administration of parking and traffic operations related to the proposed cottage <br />food operation. This plan shall include controls for vehicle circulation, drop-off and <br />pick-up of cottage food related products and parking for the employee so that park- <br />ing, loading, unloading and turning movements are compatible with the residential <br />environment in which the cottage food operation will be located. <br /> <br />4. Noise Control. The level of noise in connection with the operation of a cottage food <br />operation shall not be persistently maintained at a level of 55 decibels or greater, <br />as measured from any point along or beyond the property line of the subject prem- <br />ises. <br /> <br />5. Traffic. A cottage food operation shall not create pedestrian, automobile, or truck <br />traffic detrimental to property in the vicinity.

Parking. A cottage food operation shall not result in a reduction or elimination of <br />any required parking space. One off-street parking space shall be provided for <br />employees, per Section 4.08.108 Off-Street Parking and Loading Spaces Re- <br />quired. Said employee parking may be uncovered and located in a driveway. <br /> <br />7. Vehicles. Any vehicle or vehicles used by the applicant in conjunction with the cot- <br />tage food operation or with any related business activity shall be parked in a man- <br />ner so as not to be visible from a public street.
