In authorizing a special home occupation permit, the hearing examiner may impose such requirements and conditions with respect to location, installation, construction, maintenance and operation and extent of open spaces in addition to those expressly set forth in this title, as may be deemed necessary for the protection of other properties in the zone or vicinity and the public interest.
D. A public hearing shall be conducted on all applications for a special home occupation permit. The hearing shall be held in the same manner as provided in ACC 18.70.040. (Ord. 6141 § 1, 2007; Ord. 4304 § 1(44), 1988; Ord. 4229 § 2, 1987.)
