Full Breakdown
4(C)(3), Neighborhood Compatibility, sets the standards that control the traffic and parking impact a home occupation may have on the surrounding neighborhood. 1. Subsection (d) bars any additional parking area, other than a driveway, from sitting inside the required front setback, so patron parking cannot spill into the front yard. The broadest limit sits in subsection (i), No Adverse Impacts, which prohibits a home occupation from creating 'traffic or parking congestion, noise, vibration, odor, glare, fumes, or electrical or communications interference which can be detected by the normal senses off the premises,' including interference with a neighbor's radio or television reception. 4(C).
Violations & Fines
A home occupation that creates detectable traffic or parking congestion, exceeds the two-vehicle limit, or lets patron parking spill into the required front setback violates LDR § 4.4.4(C)(3) and is enforced by the Community Development Director, who can revoke the accessory-use approval and require the business to cease operating from the residence.
