Commission approves two‑year home‑occupation permit for farm-stand at 802 17th Ave E
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a two‑year special use permit for a home occupation to sell goods (eggs, vegetables, baked goods) at 802 17th Avenue East, subject to removal of existing signage and renewal upon expiration; commissioners acknowledged neighbor concerns about traffic and parking but concluded impact would be limited.
The Jerome City Planning & Zoning Commission on June 9 approved a Special Use Permit allowing a home occupation farm stand at 802 17th Avenue East with conditions and a two‑year term.
Staff materials and findings note the property is in R‑1 and that the proposed use — a self‑serve kiosk for selling eggs, vegetables and baked goods — meets the home‑occupation standards (no more than one nonresident employee, no more than 400 square feet used for the business, no outdoor storage, and no alterations that change the residential appearance). The commission acknowledged three public comments opposing the request, which raised concerns about traffic and parking on narrow neighborhood streets.
The commission concluded that any traffic increase would be spread throughout the day and could be accommodated by the applicant’s driveway; staff characterized the kiosk as low‑impact. The approval includes two conditions: removal of any existing signage and a two‑year permit term, renewable upon expiration.
The action was recorded in the findings and conclusions included in the meeting packet.
