Home occupations in unincorporated Lake County must not generate excessive traffic or other impacts incompatible with residential neighborhoods. UDO zoning provisions apply.
Lake County UDO regulates home occupations to prevent excessive customer traffic, noise, and other impacts that would change the residential character of a neighborhood. Off-street parking must accommodate any customer visits. Home occupations generating significant customer traffic may require conditional use permit approval.
