Davenport limits client visits to a home occupation to one client at a time, and the business may not generate more vehicle or pedestrian traffic than is average for a residential area.
Sec. 17.09(L) restricts office and service home occupations with client visits to one client at a time per home occupation. "Client" means the person or persons meeting for the business, but does not include regular meetings of sales associates or similar employees. The home occupation cannot create greater vehicular or pedestrian traffic than is average for a residential area, and must not create traffic hazards or nuisances in public rights-of-way. Deliveries are limited to ordinary passenger vehicles or standard parcel and letter-carrier mail services typical of residential areas.
Excess client traffic or commercial delivery activity is a zoning violation enforced by Development and Neighborhood Services as a municipal infraction, with cease orders and per-day civil penalties.
