City ordinances are meant to keep a neighborhood a neighborhood. If you want to run a business, then find a location that can support the demand of people and parking.
If they make an exception for this man and his church, they will have to allow other homes to do the same thing. The problem is, when you allow a commercial exposure in a residential area, the liability affects everyone.
I'm an insurance agent and I specialize in commercial insurance. I also do personal lines as well (Auto/Home/Life), and crossing certain lines in these areas changes the entire dynamics of how to rate fairly.
If this man’s house burns down because of a fire caused by one of his services, his personal lines policy will most likely refuse coverage. If this fire then catches the neighbor’s house on fire, now you’ve got some serious issues that will probably wind up in a huge court battle.
