the First District Office with proposals for the establishment of
small businesses in the home which do not strictly meet the current
provisions of the code rnnnprninsl hnmR ncr.upations. Small business
formation provides a large proportion of new job formation. Using
the home as an incubator for small business can contribute to
substantial economic benefits to residents as well as provide
commute free employment.
The proposed review of the ordinance may result in recommendations
which continue to protect the nature of existing communities while
expanding economic opportunities for small business.
