Public hearing and ordinance on home-based business rules in residential zones (ZF 26-10)
The council will hold a public hearing and consider a city-initiated ordinance that updates the definition of 'Home Occupation,' adds a new category called 'Home-Based Business (No-Impact),' and adds that use to the list of permitted uses in nine residential zoning districts. New supplemental regulations for home occupations and no-impact home-based businesses would also be added to the zoning code.
These changes would formally allow certain low-impact businesses to operate out of Richardson homes in a wider range of residential neighborhoods, with new standards to protect neighborhood character.

Potential updates to city ordinances on zoning protests, family definition, flags, and home occupations
Staff will present and the council will discuss possible changes to the Code of Ordinances and Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance covering four topics: how zoning protests are evaluated, the definition of 'family,' rules about flags, and standards for certain home-based businesses.
These potential code changes could affect how residents contest nearby rezoning requests, how households are defined for zoning purposes, what flags may be displayed, and what kinds of businesses people can run from their homes.
