The Planning Department will recommend to the Planning Committee that
the Bylaw be amended to permit tutorials, by one instructor, to not more than
3 students at a time. This would allow music teachers, private tutors and
similar occupations to be carried out from the home, but would not permit the
establishment of small "institutes" or schools.

Non-resident Employees

The issue of non-resident employees was exten
Planning Committee. Its approach was to initiate |}
in order to determine

THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS HOWEVER, THAT AT LEAST 1
NON-RESIDENT EMPLOYEE BE PERMITTED.

Signs

The Planning Committee decided against this because problems have been
experienced in some of the municipalities that do permit the display of Signs
for home businesses.

Only one letter was received in Support of signs. No action is
recommended.

re Uses

The Planning Committee had disagreed with allowing an accessory home
business to operate from a home where there is already a daycare use. In RS—1
single-family residential areas, daycares of up to 25 children are permitted.
A thorough review of this regulation is needed to obtain input from residents
and daycare operators. Until this is done, it would be inappropriate to allow
home businesses and daycares to operate from the same residence.

Council may wish to establish a maximum number of visits per day by
clients to a home (16 are suggested). This was recently implemented in the
District of West Vancouver. Although it would be difficult to police on an
ongoing basis, it may provide an appropriate means of control when a serious

traffic problem occurs.

It ig recommended that thie report be referred to the Planning Committee
prior to consideration by Council.
