Committee backs ordinance to allow cottage cosmetics as home occupations with $100,000 cap
Loading...
Summary
The recommending committee on April 13 recommended approval of Bill 2026‑12 to amend the unified development code to permit cottage cosmetics operations as a home occupation, limit annual gross receipts to $100,000, and exclude FDA‑restricted products; staff confirmed operators must obtain both a home‑occupation permit and a business license.
The City of Las Vegas Recommending Committee on April 13 recommended approval of Bill 2026‑12, which would amend the unified development code to permit cottage cosmetics operations to be conducted as home occupations in line with a recent state law change.
Staff (introduced by the chair as "miss Saddleby Heard") summarized the state requirement and the local implementing language. She said the ordinance allows limited cosmetics production in a private home with direct sales to consumers and sets an annual gross receipts cap: "Their annual gross is capped at $100,000 a year," she said, and added that the ordinance excludes products restricted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In response to a council question about local oversight and tracking, staff said operators would obtain a home‑occupation permit from planning and a city business license, so businesses would appear in the city's tracking systems.
Committee members received no public comment and moved to approve the recommending action. The recommending committee approved the item; the transcript states the bill "will be up for adoption on the May" but does not specify the City Council hearing date.
Next steps: The recommending committee's approval forwards the bill to City Council for an adoption hearing in May (date not specified in the transcript).
