Even with a limit on the amount of customers at one time, I'm not having a hard time at all imagining how having a business next door, including manufacturing and repair, that's open to the public with up to two non-resident employees operating up to seven days a week from 7am to 7pm might be potentially problematic for some people, especially those in tight neighborhoods.

Reason: too long
I don't know why noise would have even been in there in the first place. There are separate noise ordinances that aren't part of the UDO, with residential areas having the lowest limits.
Much of this stuff was already allowed anyway, but it only addressed happening within a single residential structure. Now you can have it in an ADU on the property.
You make a good point. I know not a lot of people are familiar with the UDO, but it is a HUGE document and various sections apply, not just this one section being proposed for revision.
Maybe try learning to write at something more than a third grade level. As pointed out, the ordinance restricts all uses to indoors, in single family residential zoning. If you are talking about a pool at an apartment complex, there is no equivalency.
Maybe try AGAIN.
Here's what I quoted:

Other, to me, surprising allowed uses are for dry cleaning, funeral home, funeral parlor, mortuary, undertaking establishment, crematorium, or pet crematorium.
DPK, a corner grocer or the like is not on the allowed type list.
Guess what? That includes pools. The pool is NOT an outside pool.
Any other ridiculous questions, or have you figured it out yet?

I'd bet money we're talking about RSA's facility on Jones Franklin. That's a major aquatic complex with three pools. They are covered with permanent roofs, but are otherwise open air much of the year. (The sides can be wrapped in winter to trap some heat.) So for all intents and purposes, they are outdoor pools that serve hundreds of users. And yes, the complex predates anything around it...it's been there since the early '70s.
In no way does it resemble an indoor, conditioned space with a maximum of five customers, located in a residential neighborhood.
Yeah, this doesn't allow anything even approaching something like an aquatics center, so no worries there. But it will allow for a freestanding (not in the home but rather an ADU) sports academy, martial arts studio, dance studio, or music studio that can run 7am to 7pm seven days a week. I think originally they were proposing 6am to 11pm so at least that's an improvement.
I think allowing businesses in residential areas to run out of ADU's changes the nature of them since they're in a separate space and likely a larger space than what most people would have in their home. I don't know what the setbacks technically are, but ADU's also seem to be quite close to neighboring property. And most people coming to these businesses will likely be driving since it's unlikely there'd be enough customers within the neighborhood to support them which may create or add to parking problems.

I work next door and Jones Franklin is definitely not a residential street anyways. We know renters in apartments don't have rights in this city also
