Chattanooga limits customer traffic for home occupations. Businesses generating significant visitor traffic need commercial zoning.
Home businesses in Chattanooga must not generate customer or delivery traffic beyond normal residential levels. Businesses requiring frequent customer visits do not qualify as home occupations. Deliveries should use standard residential carriers. The zoning code intends home occupations to be incidental to the residential use.
Excessive traffic may trigger complaints and code enforcement action.
