Planning commission hears multiple home‑occupation requests, approves laser engraving business with conditions
Loading...
Summary
The commission reviewed a hypnotherapy practice, a home catering request and a laser engraving/home‑craft business; the commission approved the engraving business (Melda Lilly Designs) subject to conditions and took public testimony and staff questions on the other proposals.
The Riverton Planning Commission heard three home‑occupation conditional‑use items: a proposed hypnotherapy practice at 12025 South Loveland Drive, a home‑based catering service, and a small craft/laser‑engraving business.
Applicant Jill Blanchard described completing 350 hours of training in rapid transformational therapy and said she would see one client at a time and limit evening appointments to two clients per night during targeted weekdays. Blanchard told commissioners she would use a signed waiver explicitly stating she is not a licensed physician or psychologist and that hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment.
Lydia Berg presented a catering application and said she is registered with the state and has the required food‑safety certifications; she described serving events such as birthdays and small family gatherings and said she would provide business cards and contact information to staff.
Tina Anderson, doing business as Melda Lilly Designs, described CO2 laser equipment used for small wood craft and ornament production; staff noted the business license process includes a fire‑marshal inspection and business‑license review. The commission approved the Melda Lilly Designs application (PLC25‑2050) with conditions 1–6 as read into the record.
Commissioners questioned scope, hours and safety procedures for each operation, and staff advised that inspections and business‑license conditions would address technical safety (for example, pest control for catering storage or fire‑marshal review for laser equipment).
