procured subsequent to, and in compliance with, approval of the minor use

excess of that normally associated with residential use.
4. The cottage food operation shall not generate pedestrian or vehicular traffic
in excess of that normally associated with residential use.
5. No direct sales or service from the residence or property on which the
residence is located is permitted. The cottage food operation shall not be the

6. The cottage food operation shall be conducted solely within a primary
residence.
7. Sign(s) identifying the cottage food operation are not permitted to be posted

cottage food operation is located if the city has, on the basis of any complaint(s),

Furthermore, the City may also conduct routine periodic inspections to ensure
