Section 60A of the zoning and development ordinance treats a home occupation as subordinate to the residential use of the house, and its traffic and parking standards enforce that. in greater volume than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood,' and requires that any parking the business creates be met with off-street spaces located in the rear or side yard, not the front. 9 goes further on vehicles tied to the business itself: no on-street parking of a marked or commercially equipped business vehicle is allowed at the home at all, no business vehicle larger than a van, panel truck or pickup truck may park overnight on the property, only one business-related vehicle is permitted total, and it must be parked in the rear of the premises.

Read together, these rules mean a home business generating regular client visits, deliveries, or service vehicles beyond ordinary household traffic is out of compliance even if it otherwise fits inside the 25-percent floor-area cap and employee limits set elsewhere in Section 60A. A contracting business is treated separately: the ordinance recognizes that a contractor's home may serve only as an office for paperwork, phone calls and mail, and bars outside employees from working, assembling, or parking at the residence, and bars any contracting equipment from being parked, assembled or maintained there.
