to come in and amend the home occupation to make it clear as to what's permitted there. But <br /> we've had a number of people come in up to this point, and as long as they meet the <br /> requirements of a home occupation, it could possibly be approved as a home occupation. But <br /> that's only the people that live in the dwelling and one employee, with no signage. So there's <br /> very strict limitations to that home occupation. <br /> VITOUSEK: I guess I'm talking more about someone coming to my home to do physical <br /> therapy care. Currently I'm receiving physical therapy care at home because of an injury. <br /> DARROW: There's <br /> VITOUSEK: Is that a zoning violation? <br /> DARROW: This, that's what we call kind of like a mobile service, and it's not just massage or <br /> chiropractic, it's someone fixing a car, or somebody, you know, there's all kinds of mobile <br /> businesses. We really haven't addressed those in the sense that, because it's not something that's <br /> established on that property. It's just like a mobile service that comes to somebody's house and <br /> washes their car, fixes a car, or gives a massage. At this point I don't see anything in the code <br /> limiting that, so you're okay Commissioner Vitousek. <br /> VITOUSEK: Glad to hear it. My next question, you know, being a physical therapy recipient, <br /> and a devoted husband to a physical therapist, where would physical therapy clinics fit within the <br /> definition of medical clinic versus other activity? <br /> DARROW: Right there, it says other similar health services. So, this would be exactly what that <br /> is. <br /> VITOUSEK: And not a medical facility? <br /> DARROW: We've, we've struggled with, and that's why we separated these, we've had <br /> discussions and you know, there's been massage, and acupuncture, and chiropractors that have <br /> tried to claim that they were a medical facility or a medical clinic and we, this was, we wanted to <br /> really make clear as to what those uses were. Medical clinics were for doctors and nurses that <br /> were providing medical care. We wanted, we knew that there were needs for these types of <br /> personal services such as massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, and like you said,physical therapy, <br /> so we've created this separate use. And basically, they go through the very same process that a <br /> medical clinic does. They're treated, treated very much the same. <br /> VITOUSEK: So do, do you think we should include in the language defining medical clinic, <br /> what you just said about doctors and nurses? Cause that's absent. You said persons engaged in <br /> practices of medical or dental profession or occupation. <br /> DARROW: I think what clears it up is the next sentence which clearly says this does not include <br /> massage, chiropractic, acupuncture, and other services. So, there's the separation. <br /> 5 <br /> EXHIBIT G <br />
