Section 18.19

The regulation of home occupations as provided herein is intended to secure flexibility in the application

of the requirements of this Ordinance; but such flexibility is not intended to allow the essential residential

character of residential districts, in terms of use and appearance, to be changed by the occurrence of

non-residential activities. Home occupations, as defined in Article 2 of this Ordinance, shall satisfy the

following conditions:

A. The nonresidential use shall only be incidental to the primary residential use and shall not occupy

more than twenty percent (20%) of the gross floor area of said dwelling unit.

B. No equipment or process shall be used in such home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare,

fumes, odors or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot. No equipment or

process shall be used which creates visual or audible interference in any radio or television receivers off

the premises, or causes fluctuations in line voltage off the premises.

C. The home occupation shall not employ any persons to work in the home who are not residing in the

home.

D. The majority of all activities shall be carried on indoors. No visible outdoor activity, storage or display

shall be permitted.

E. There shall be no change in the exterior appearance of the building or premises, or other visible

evidence of the conduct of such home occupation other than a permitted sign. The entrance to the space

devoted to the home occupation shall be from within the dwelling.

F. No traffic shall be generated by such home occupation in greater volumes than would normally be

expected in a residential neighborhood, and 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, although motor vehicles may

be parked in an existing driveway if it is of sufficient size. No additional off-street parking demand shall be

created.
