II. SEPA STATUS:
The Project is exempt from the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) per Washington
Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-800(13)(a) as a “business or regulatory license”.
III. FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The Comprehensive Plan designation of the parcel is “Single Family Residential”. This
designation is implemented by the zoning classification of the site as “R-7, Residential 7
dwelling units per acre”.
2. The stated purpose of the R-7, Residential zoning district is as follows:
“ ACC 18.07.010 Intent.
E. R-7 Residential Zone – Seven Dwelling Units per Acre. The R-7 single-family
residential zones are intended to create a living environment of optimum standards
for single-family dwellings. It is further intended to achieve development densities of
five to seven dwelling units per net acre. This zone will provide for the development
6 of 96
Agenda Subject: Special Home Occupation Permit for Arvinder Kaur –
MIS23-0016
Date: February 6, 2024
Page 4 of 11
of single-family detached dwellings and for such accessory uses as are related,
incidental and not detrimental to the residential environment.”
3. The purpose of the city’s home occupation regulations is as follows:
“18.60.010 Purpose
The purpose of a home occupation is to allow certain activities to be undertaken for gain
or profit within a dwelling or a building accessory to a dwelling in any zone in which
dwellings are present. The home occupation shall be conducted by a resident of the
dwelling unit and is to be conducted in such a manner that the residence shall not differ
from its residential character either by the use of colors, materials, construction, lighting,
signs or the emissions of sounds, noises, vibrations or odors, or result in traffic impacts
that are inconsistent.”
4. Arvinder Kaur (the “Applicant” and co-property owner) submitted an application for a Special
Home Occupation Permit (land use approval) on September 28, 2023, to occupy an existing
room of 130 square feet inside the attached garage to operate a home-based personal
service business.
The applicant proposes a beauty studio to perform permanent makeup services such as
microblading. Microblading is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing commonly used
for eyebrows. But unlike traditional tattoos, which use a tattoo gun, microblading uses a
blade-shaped tool with a row of tiny, barely visible needles to create hair-like strokes along
your brows while depositing pigment into your skin.
5. The zoning code at ACC 18.04.710, defines a “personal service shop” as:
“ “Personal service shop” means premises devoted to hair styling, cutting or permanents,
manicurists, custom tailoring, and similar related uses.”
6. Home occupations authorized by and subject to the standards of Chapter 18.60 ACC “Home
Occupations” are permitted within the R-7, Residential zone.
7. The proposed home occupation triggers the “Special Home Occupation” that is subject to a
public hearing process because of both the type of land use (personal service shop) and
because it does not meet all the generally applicable home occupation standards. The
proposed personal service shop is one of the specific types of businesses that can only be
authorized by a “Special Home Occupation” review and approval process. In addition, the
proposed home-based business does not meet all of the generally-applicable standards of a
Home Occupation. City regulations at ACC 18.60.040(A)(6)
“A. Special home occupation permits are required and must be granted by the hearing
examiner for the following uses, even if the use meets all of the requirements of ACC
18.60.020(A) through (M), but in no case shall any home occupation meet less than 11
of the 13 requirements:
1. Building and construction contractor services, to include landscaping services
(unless the home occupation is solely used for office purposes);
7 of 96
Agenda Subject: Special Home Occupation Permit for Arvinder Kaur –
MIS23-0016
Date: February 6, 2024
Page 5 of 11
2. Personal service shops;
3. Music and dancing studios;
4. Craft classes;
5. Animal grooming;
6. Home occupations that can only meet 11 or 12 of the 13 requirements as
outlined in ACC 18.60.020(A) through (M).”
Also, the proposed home-based business does meet all 13 of the generally appliable
standards. Meeting less than 13 of the standards also triggers the ‘Special Home
Occupation permit’ process. Home Occupation cannot be approved/allowed if it meets
less than 11 of the standards.
8. In accordance with the City’s home occupation regulations (ACC 18.60.040(C)), any home
occupation that can only meet 11 or 12 of the 13 requirements require an approved Special
Home Occupation Permit to be granted by the Hearing Examiner, and must meet a
minimum of 11 out of the 13 criteria ACC 18.60.020(A) through (M), as follows:
“18.60.020 Requirements
A. Only members of the immediate family residing on the premises and no more than
one non-resident may be employed at any one time; provided that home occupations
with a nonresident employee shall provide off-street parking for the employee on site.
B. No mechanical equipment is used except such as is commonly or customarily
used for domestic, household or personal purposes for a dwelling unit (or as deemed
similar in terms of power, quantity, noise, emissions and type).
C. Not more than one-fourth of the floor area of any building is devoted to such
occupation, except for bed and breakfasts.
D. That such occupation shall not require internal or external alteration or involve
construction features not customarily found in a dwelling.
E. The home occupation shall not involve the use of personal commercial vehicles as
defined in ACC 18.04.245 for the distribution of materials to or from the premises.
Deliveries or pickups by commercial delivery services shall not apply toward this
limitation provided such pickup or delivery does not exceed twice per day.
F. The conduct of any home occupation, including but not limited to the storage of
goods and equipment, shall not reduce or render unusable areas provided for the
required off-street parking. Additional parking is not allowed in order to conduct a
home occupation, except what may be required through the issuance of a special
home occupation permit pursuant to ACC 18.60.040.

occupations shall be limited to five (two-way) client/delivery trips per day.
L. Outdoor storage of materials, goods, products or equipment is not allowed.
M. The home occupation is to be conducted in such a manner that the residence
shall not differ from its residential character either by the use of colors, materials,
construction, lighting, signs, or the emissions of sounds, noises, vibrations or odors
or result in traffic impacts inconsistent with the character of the area in which the
home occupation is located.”
9. In addition, the city’s home occupation regulations provide the following review process and
findings that must be made for approval of ‘Special Home Occupations’. ACC 18.60.040(B)
provides the following:
“B. In considering applications for special home occupation permits, the hearing
examiner shall consider the nature and conditions of all adjacent uses and structures.
No such special home occupation permit shall be authorized by the hearing examiner
unless the hearing examiner finds that:
1. The authorizing of such special home occupation permit will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property in the zone or vicinity
in which the property is located; and
2. The authorization of such special home occupation permit will be consistent
with the spirit and purpose of this title.
C. In authorizing a special home occupation permit, the hearing examiner may

IV. CONCLUSIONS:
The city’s home occupation regulations, ACC 18.60.040, provide certain criteria for approval of
a Special Home Occupation Permit. The following is a list of these criteria (in italics) followed by
a staff analysis of how the Project compares to the criteria:
10 of 96
Agenda Subject: Special Home Occupation Permit for Arvinder Kaur –
MIS23-0016
Date: February 6, 2024
Page 8 of 11
A. “Special home occupation permits are required and must be granted by the hearing
examiner for the following uses, even if the use meets all of the requirements of ACC
18.60.020(A) through (M), but in no case shall any home occupation meet less than 11
of the 13 requirements:
2. Personal Service Shop.”
Staff Analysis
The home occupation is for a personal service shop, operated as a beauty studio that can
meet at least 11 of the 13 requirements in accordance with ACC 18.60.020(A) though (M).
A. Only members of the immediate family residing on the premises and no more than one
non-resident may be employed at any one time; provided that home occupations with a
nonresident employee shall provide off-street parking for the employee on site. The
Applicant is the only employee. Staff finds that the home occupation meets criteria ACC
18.60.020(A).
B. The Applicant states that no mechanical equipment except that commonly of customarily
use for household purposes or deemed similar in terms of power, quantity, noise,
emissions, or type will be used in the operation of the home occupation. Staff finds that
the home occupation meets criteria ACC 18.60.020(B).
C. Not more than one-fourth of the floor area of any building is devoted to such occupation,
except for bed and breakfasts. The Applicant states 130 square feet of the existing
garage will be used for the home occupation. According to King County Assessor’s
website records, the house with attached garage contains 1,820-square and the
proposed 130 square feet is less than 25% (7.2 %). Staff finds that the home occupation
does meet criteria ACC 18.60.020(C).
D. That such occupation shall not require internal or external alteration or involve
construction features not customarily found in a dwelling. It appears that interior walls
are proposed to partition a 10-foot by 13-foot area of the NW corner of the garage for the
home-based business. The exception to the generally appliable home occupation
standard can be authorized through the ‘Special Home Occupation Permit’ process upon
approval by the Hearing Examiner and therefore Staff finds that the home occupation
meets criteria ACC 18.60.020(D).
E. The home occupation shall not involve the use of personal commercial vehicles as
defined in ACC 18.04.245 for the distribution of materials to or from the premises. The
Applicant states that the home occupation will not involve the use of commercial
vehicles, which are defined in ACC 18.04.245 as semi-truck tractors and/or semi-trailers
over 26,001 pounds gross vehicle weight. Staff finds that the home occupation meets
criteria ACC 18.60.020(E).
F. The conduct of any home occupation, including but not limited to the storage of goods
and equipment, shall not reduce or render unusable areas provided for the required off-
street parking. Additional parking is not allowed in order to conduct a home occupation,
except what may be required through the issuance of a special home occupation permit
pursuant to ACC 18.60.040. Per ACC Table 18.52.020, “Off-Street Parking
11 of 96
Agenda Subject: Special Home Occupation Permit for Arvinder Kaur –
MIS23-0016
Date: February 6, 2024
Page 9 of 11
Requirements by Land Use”, two (2) off-street parking spaces are required per single-
family dwelling. The home occupation will not reduce or render unusable areas provided
for the residence’s required off-street parking. The Property has ample space for parking
if needed. The driveway supports 3 parking spaces of code required dimensions with
two parking spaces retained in the garage for a total of five parking stalls. According to
the application materials, the home occupation will be conducted by appointment only.
The home occupation will be conducted in a manner that will reserve two off-street
parking spaces for the home and thus not reduce the home’s required two parking
spaces. No additional parking is proposed to be created. Staff finds that the home
occupation meets criteria ACC 18.60.020(F).
G. Only one sign is permitted, not to exceed 18 inches by 24 inches in area, non-
illuminated, and attached to a building. The applicant does not propose to have signage.
The applicant has indicated that they do not want to provide access to customers to the
property or draw attention to their home. Staff finds that the home occupation meets
criteria ACC 18.60.020(G).
H. No display pertaining to the occupation, other than the one permitted sign, is allowed to
be visible from the street or adjacent residences. The home occupation will not involve
any display. Staff finds that the home occupation meets criteria ACC 18.60.020(H).
I. No more animals are maintained on the premises than what may otherwise be permitted
in the zone. The applicant does not propose animals as part of the home occupation.
Staff finds that the home occupation meets criteria ACC 18.60.020(I).
J. The applicant is intending to host clients at the residence. And by Applicant’s statements
they will be visiting by appointment only, and generally no more than one appointment
per day and mainly on weekends. The applicant shall comply with the hours of
operation:
1) Employees from 8:00 am – to 6:00 pm. Monday through Friday and from 9:00 am
– to 6:00 pm on Saturday and Sunday,
2) Customers from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Staff finds that the home occupation meets ACC 18.60.020(J).
K. Traffic generated by the home occupation shall be limited to a maximum of eight (two-
way) client/delivery-related trips per day for those home occupations that operate by
appointment only and do not have overlapping client visits. All other home occupations
shall be limited to five (two-way) client/delivery trips per day. The applicant provided in
the narrative that they would not exceed these limits. Staff finds that the home
occupation meets ACC 18.60.020(K).
L. Outdoor storage of materials, goods, products or equipment is not allowed. The
applicant indicates that materials, goods, and products will be stored inside the work
area for the home occupation. Staff finds that the home occupation meets criteria ACC
18.60.020(L).

M. No exterior changes are proposed. The applicant has stated in the narrative that they do
not intend to make changes to the existing single-family residence, and the business will
not emit noise that can be heard from a neighboring property.
Staff finds the request meets the criterion, as conditioned herein.
B. In considering applications for special home occupation permits, the hearing examiner shall
consider the nature and conditions of all adjacent uses and structures. No such special
home occupation permit shall be authorized by the hearing examiner unless the hearing
examiner finds that:
1. The authorizing of such special home occupation permit will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to the property in the zone or vicinity in which the
property is located; and
2. The authorization of such special home occupation permit will be consistent with the
spirit and purpose of this title.
Staff Analysis
The Special Home Occupation permit was triggered under the “Personal Service Shops”
land use designation seen in ACC 18.60.040 (A) (2).
It is not anticipated that authorization of the Special Home Occupation Permit for the home
occupation will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property
in the zone or vicinity in which the property is located, with observance of the staff
recommended conditions due to developed setting and minimum customer visits on an
appointment-only basis. The home occupation meets 13 out of the 13 criteria of ACC
18.60.020(A) though (M), and only triggers the special home occupation permit due to the
business type being a personal service shop.
“CONCLUSIONS”.
The proposal is consistent with the purpose of home occupations regulations, because the
home occupation is undertaken for gain or profit within the dwelling, the home occupation is
conducted by a resident of the existing dwelling, and the home occupation will not differ in
character from that of a residence, as conditioned. As a result, it is also not anticipated to be
detrimental to single-family residential environment and consistent with the intent of the R-7,
Residential zone.
Staff finds the request meets the criterion, as conditioned herein.

Supplemental Name: Special Home Occupation Information Sheet
Special Home Occupation (MIS) Supplemental Information
Please read the following information and select the radio button at the end stating that you have read through and understand this
information.
What is a Special Home Occupation?
Certain Home Occupations that are listed in ACC 18.60.040(A)(1) and those that can only meet 11 of the 13 requirements of ACC
18.60.020 are required to apply for a Special Home Occupation Permit. These Permits are a Type III decision and require a public
hearing and are decided upon by the City’s Hearing Examiner. Uses not allowed as a Home Occupation include
automobile/motorcycle repair and body work, including painting, automobile services, including stereo installation, car alarms, and
detailing, and heavy equipment repair/maintenance.
What is a Type III decision?
Type III decisions are quasi-judicial land use decisions made by the City of Auburn Hearing Examiner following a public hearing at
which interested citizens can participate by giving written or verbal comments on a proposed project or issue. The Hearing Examiner
is responsible by City Code to interpret, review, and implement land use regulations and other ordinances and regulations. City Staff
conducts an initial review and submits a recommendation to the City’s Hearing Examiner who conducts the public hearing. Following
the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner issues a written decision that can be appealed to the Superior Court of the County in which
the property is located.
How long before I am notified if my application is complete?
Within 28 calendar days of receiving your application, City Staff will determine if the application is complete based on the required
documents. If your application is incomplete you will be notified via email detailing the required information to make your application
complete.
How long before I know whether my application is approved or denied?
Current City Code requires that all land use decisions be made within 120 days from the date of a complete application submittal,
unless the Applicant and City mutually agree to extend the processing of the application longer than 120 days. This 120-day "clock"
pauses when City staff return comments or request additional information from the Applicant.
PLEASE NOTE: Applicants are responsible for complying with all City Codes and ordinances and should review all City regulations
that may be applicable to their proposed project. For assistance in determining which regulations are applicable, please
contact planning@auburnwa.gov.
I have read and understand this information.

Good day,
answered below :
1.That such occupation shall not require internal or external alteration or involve construction
features not customarily found in a dwelling.
-we have a room inside the garage which I was using as a office space. This room is 14 x10 which I will
be using as a makeup studio. So I don’t have to do remodel or build anything.
1.The home occupation shall not involve the use of personal commercial vehicles.
- I don’t need any commercial vehicles for this business as it is by appointment only and only 1 client
at a time. It’s will be a makeup studio. There is nothing like loading or unloading required for this
business.

2.Outdoor storage of materials, goods, products, or equipment is not allowed.
- I don’t need any storage space for this business. Its a small makeup kit and I will be using drawers
inside my studio to store it. For eg: little tools like makeup brushes and Ring light etc.

As consistent with the purpose of home occupations, the home occupation is undertaken for
gain or profit within the 280 square foot area of the existing dwelling, the home occupation is
conducted by a resident of the existing dwelling, and the home occupation will not differ in
character from that of a residence, as conditioned. As a result, it is also not detrimental to
