First, the property must include a minimum of one off-street parking space, and the front yard should not be used for parking so the property keeps its residential character. , meaning any customer or delivery activity that spills noise or activity past the property line during those hours is out of compliance regardless of how quiet it seems from inside.
046(C)(3)(a) caps the client count at ten children in care at any one time, which functions as this section's clearest numeric limit on how much client traffic a single home business can draw. 046(A)(9), which lets the county weigh the potential nuisance of a proposed home-based business's type, intensity, or use.
