STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Elizabeth Stoddard, Director of Administrative Services
SUBJECT: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 1435
RELATING TO A REDUCED SENIOR CITIZEN
LICENSE FEE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Approve 2nd reading of Ordinance 1435 amending Section 11-33 of Chapter 11, Article II
and providing a reduced rate for senior citizens engaged in home occupations.
DISCUSSION:
Second reading of Ordinance 1435 encompasses changes to the proposed wording that
more closely reflects what the City currently has in its ordinance relating to home
occupations. The proposed amendment does not change the intent of the senior citizen
reduced business license rate and in fact clarifies what the previous amendment referred to
as "cottage industries". Section 11-33 of the Code of the City of Seal Beach relating to
business license tax rate schedules will be amended to include Section 28-239 of the
Zoning Code, which generally defines home occupations and restricts such activities to
prohibit displays, stock in trade or commodities sold on premises, and limits the type of
equipment that can be used in the business.
