The purpose of these provisions is to allow
for home occupations which are compatible with the neighborhoods in
which they are allowed.
Home occupations shall be subject to the following:
A. That the occupation will be conducted entirely within
a dwelling or existing accessory structure.
B. That the occupation is clearly incidental and secondary
to the principal use of the dwelling.
C. That the establishment and conduct of a home occupation
shall not change the principal character or use of the dwelling unit
involved.
D. That no more than one person other than members of
the immediate family residing on the premises may be employed.
E. That not more than 25% of the floor area of one story
of the dwelling is devoted to such home occupation.
F. That no stock-in-trade is kept or commodities sold,
other than incidental supplies necessary for and consumed in the conduct
of such home occupation.
G. No storage or display of materials, goods, supplies
or equipment related to the operation of a home occupation shall be
visible from the outside of any structure located on the premises.
H. That no mechanical equipment is used except such as
may be used for domestic or household purposes (or as deemed similar
to power and type).
I. That such occupation shall not require internal or
external alteration or invoke construction features not customarily
in a dwelling.
J. That the use shall not generate noise, vibration,
glare, fumes, odors or electrical interference beyond what normally
occurs in the applicable zoning district.
K. That no traffic shall be generated by such home occupation
in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential
neighborhood and that any need for parking generated by the conduct
of such home occupation shall be met off the street and other than
in a required front yard.
L. That the home occupation shall not involve the use
of advertising signs. Only one nonilluminated nameplate not to exceed
two feet by two feet shall be allowed. It may display the name of
the occupant and/or the name of the home occupation (e.g., John Jones,
Realtor).
