Summary
Frisco caps a home occupation at two patron or business vehicles present at once and bars extra traffic beyond what a residential street normally carries. Clients cannot be received before 7:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m., and outdoor activity is confined to 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., under Zoning Ordinance § 3.02.01(A)(24).
5. Not more than two (2) patron- or business-related vehicles shall be present at any one time, and the proprietor shall provide adequate off-street parking for such vehicles; 6. A maximum of one (1) commercial vehicle, capacity one (1) ton or less, may be used or parked on the property in connection with the home occupation. The commercial vehicle shall not be parked on the street; ... 10. No traffic shall be generated by a home occupation in greater volumes than normally expected in a residential neighborhood, and any need for parking must be accommodated within the off-street parking provided for the residence (i.e. the driveway or garage) and along the street frontage of the lot. ... f. The home occupation shall not accept clients or customers before 7:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m. This limitation on hours of operation shall not apply to allowed childcare home occupations. Hours of operation shall be limited to 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for outdoor activities.
Full Breakdown
5 limits a home occupation to 'not more than two (2) patron- or business-related vehicles' on site at any one time, and requires the proprietor to provide adequate off-street parking for them; a single commercial vehicle of one ton or less can also be kept, but it cannot be parked on the street. 7 bars regular or frequent deliveries by trucks over one and one-half tons, though standard package-courier deliveries are exempted. m. Subsection g requires any outdoor activity to be screened from neighboring property and public rights-of-way, so even within those hours a business cannot run visible outdoor operations unless screened.
Certain listed home occupations carry their own patron caps on top of these rules: music, dance, or tutoring instruction is capped at three pupils present at a time, and swimming or water-safety instruction at six pupils, while a barbershop, beauty salon, or manicure studio may serve only one customer at a time.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the two-vehicle patron limit, generating above-normal traffic, or receiving clients outside the 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. window is a zoning violation under Frisco Code of Ordinances § 1-12, punishable by a fine of up to $2,000, with each day of continued violation counted as a separate offense. Code Enforcement responds to neighbor complaints and can require the operator to correct the parking, hours, or traffic pattern to keep operating as a home occupation.
