By-right Home Offices under Sec. 5.2.2.B may not host any customer, clientele, or public visits. Conditional Use Permit Home Occupations under Sec. 5.2.2.C may host limited customers but must not generate traffic 'in greater volumes than would be expected in a residential neighborhood,' and additional parking may be required by the Board of Adjustment as a CUP condition.
The Warren County/Joint Zoning Ordinance Sec. 5.2.2.B(6) flatly bars customer, clientele, or public visits to a by-right Home Office and Sec. 5.2.2.B(2) bars any additional parking — the Home Office tier is for residents-only telework and online sales. For Conditional Use Permit Home Occupations under Sec. 5.2.2.C, Specific Use Standard (5) requires that 'no traffic shall be generated by such home occupation in greater volumes than would be expected in a residential neighborhood,' Standard (2) requires the home occupation be 'clearly incidental and subordinate' to residential use, and Standard (7) authorizes the Board of Adjustment to require additional off-street parking as a condition of the CUP. Customer visits typical of music lessons, tutoring, hair styling, massage, and counseling are contemplated, but operations that generate continuous walk-in traffic, group classes, or queueing vehicles violate the standard. Customer parking must fit on-site or on the legal frontage of the property — blocking neighbors' driveways or using neighboring properties for parking is a code enforcement matter.
Use violation fines under Bowling Green Code Enforcement Board Sec. 7.2.2: $100 first / $200 second / $300 additional offenses per day. Repeated complaints support CUP revocation by the Board of Adjustment.
