Summary
In the City of Brooklyn Park, a home occupation's client and customer parking must meet the standards of § 152.1019 and the rest of the city code, and no more than five vehicles associated with the business may be parked on the property at any one time, per § 152.901(C)(7).
(7) Parking. (a) Parking for clients or customers coming to the property must comply with § 152.1019 and all other applicable sections of the city code. (b) Parking is limited to five vehicles at any one time.
Full Breakdown
901(C)(7) is the traffic-control half of Brooklyn Park's home occupation standards, working alongside the staffing cap in (C)(5) and the general permit requirement in (C)(1) to keep a home-based business from functioning like a commercial storefront in a residential neighborhood. 1019, so a home occupation cannot simply pave over the front yard or use the street to accommodate client traffic; it has to fit within whatever parking arrangement the property's zoning district and site otherwise require. ' That five-vehicle cap functions as a practical throttle on how much client traffic a home business can generate at once, since a sixth car queued at the curb or in the driveway during a busy hour would put the property out of compliance even if the business is otherwise permitted and holds its administrative permit under (C)(1).
The limit applies at any single moment, not as a daily or weekly average, so a home occupation with occasionally heavy visitor traffic needs to manage scheduling to stay under the cap.
Violations & Fines
More than five vehicles associated with a home occupation parked on the property at once, or client parking that does not meet § 152.1019's off-street standards, violates § 152.901(C)(7). The city enforces this as a zoning administrative offense under § 37.03(A)-(B): a civil penalty of up to $2,000, with each day the violation continues counted as a separate offense.
