Home Occupation The requirements for obtaining a Home Occupation Permit are found in Title 11 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code, specifically Section 11.4.05.060. The referenced language is included as Attachment A. A home occupation also requires a business license for operation. The potential applicant completes the Application for Business License, Attachment B, and submits it to the Planning Division. Before the Business License is issued, the applicant is required to pay for an inspection of the premises to ensure that the Basic Operating Standards, as outlined in the Zoning Code, are met. The current fees associated with the Home Occupation permitting process are set in the Master Schedule of Fees and Charges, the pages for which are included as Attachment C, line f. and Attachment D. Business License The requirements for obtaining a Business License are set forth in Title 5 of the Seal Beach Municipal Code. The process is essentially the same as outlined above with the exception being there is no inspection of the premises required. The referenced language is included as Attachment E. The fees for Business License are set in the Master Schedule of Fees and Charges, included as Attachment F. Agenda Item A Page 2 In both instances, when the process is complete and the business license is approved, the applicant will receive a City issued Business License, which is included as Attachment G. The body of the Business License references two separate types of exemptions. The exemption for a Business License was established by City Council Policy 100-08, included as Attachment H. The exemption for the Home Occupation can be found in Attachment D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact related to this item. LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney reviewed the staff report and made no changes. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact in the presentation of this information.

Attachment H CITY OF SEAL BEACH COUNCIL POLICY SUBJECT BUSINESS LICENSE ADMINISTRATION SECTION INDEX NO. ISSUE DATE REVISION DATE COUNCIL CITY MANAGER APPROVAL APPROVAL 100 08 08/08/05 07/14/08 08/08/05 1. SCOPE This Council Policy applies to the business license administration for the City of Seal Beach. 2. PURPOSE AND INTENT The purpose and intent of this policy is to establish a two tiered system for the administration of the City's business license system. Based on public input, the existing system may place a burden on the business community that can be mitigated by implementing an alternative business tax system. 3. POLICY Effective with the approval of the Seal Beach City Council, the business license system will be modified to a tiered system. The first tier will exempt a business operating in Seal Beach from the current business license fee if their annual gross revenue is less than $25,000. The second tier will require a business operating in Seal Beach with an annual gross revenue of/or over $25,000.01 to pay the full amount of the appropriate business license tax. Should this policy conflict with the business license tax code the existing code shall prevail until the conflict is resolved by either the Director of Administrative Services or the City Council. This policy still requires an exempt business (a business with gross revenue equal to/or less than $25,000 in annual gross revenues) to complete the necessary paperwork to verify the license fee exemption and be issued a business license (SBMC 5.10.015 & 5.10.045). 4. PROCEDURE The Director of Administrative Services shall develop procedures to implement the Purpose and Intent and Policy sections of this report. During the development of the procedures the goal shall be to make the tiered system as streamlined as 1 of 2 (100-08) possible. The income verification process shall ensure that any tax information is correct and that verification can promptly be determined. The development of the new procedures does not eliminate the need to comply with SBMC 5.10.045 (issuance of license). 5.
