Following an on-site investigation of your property and a review of the
letter which you submitted to us outlining the conditions and type of occupation
engaged in on your property, I hereby make the following interpretation:
That your janitorial supply business qualifies as a home occupation at
1404 S. Glenn, Spokane, Washington to the extent that;
1. It does not represent a change to the residential character of the
parcel on which the business is located and the immediate vicinity.
2. That it is conducted so as to show no outward appearance of a business
in the normal meaning of the term.
3. That it does not produce noise, vibration, dust, smoke, odors, light,
or other affects that detract from neighboring residents' rights to
peacefully enjoy the occupancy of their homes.
In specific review of your comments which you have submitted to the
Planning Department for review I would advise you that under definition #20
(Home Occupations) of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance that;
1. Only members of the family who reside on the subject premise shall be
employed in the occupation. This appears to be slightly at odds with
what is indicated in your letter.
2. Also for your consideration, no outside storage of business supplies or
occupation implements are permitted in conjunction with the home
occupation.
At this time we are not able to comment on whether a 16 ft. addition to the
structure where your current occupation takes place could be approved or not.

I would advise that you make every attempt to keep your property in as neat
as condition as possible and take whatever reasonable measures you can to
insure that adjacent parties are not adversely affected by this activity.
This interpretation takes effect at the above noted date and it is your
right or anyone objecting to this interpretation to appeal it to the Spokane
County Zoning Adjustor within ten (10) days of the date noted above. Should
you or any other interested parties wish to appeal, please contact the Spokane
County Planning Department for an explanation of that process.
