Summary

Parking generated from the home occupations. Parking shall not occur in a manner or frequency causing disturbance to the normal traffic flow for the residential neighborhood. Parking for group meetings shall not occur more frequently than one (1) meeting per month. No home occupation shall involve construction features or the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structures of the fire district in which the structure is located. No mechanical or electrical equipment may be used except for such types that are customarily used for purely domestic, household, or hobby purposes. Licensing. Any home occupation required to be licensed by the State or any other governmental body shall not be permitted until and unless a current license from such body is obtained. A home occupation shall also meet any or all local, state or federal regulations, where applicable.
Full Breakdown
Sec. 49-107.3 requires that parking generated by a home occupation not occur in a manner or frequency that disturbs normal traffic flow in the residential neighborhood. Parking tied to group meetings at a home occupation, clients gathering for a class, consultation or similar event, is capped at one meeting per month. The rule sits alongside the section's separate cap on visitor hours (7 a.m. to 9 p.m.) and its ban on semi-trailer deliveries, all aimed at keeping a home business from generating the traffic of a standalone commercial use. It applies citywide in every residential zoning district.
Violations & Fines
Excess customer traffic or more than one group meeting a month is a Sec. 49-107.3 zoning violation, enforceable by the Zoning Administrator with fines.
