Full Breakdown
Sec. b states plainly that "the home occupation may not allow customers or the public to come to the premises," making a home occupation the strictest of the county's home-based business tiers on public access; by contrast, a residential business under Sec. D may allow client visits with on-site parking. To limit the traffic a home occupation itself generates, Sec. k permits "two business vehicles used exclusively by the resident," restricted to a passenger car, van, or truck up to one ton, and specifically excludes utility trailers or cargo trailers from counting as business vehicles.
Sec. l further restricts "pickups from and deliveries to the site for the business" to vehicles with no more than two axles, capped at two such trips per day. Together these standards mean a home occupation practitioner can receive supply deliveries and use two personal-sized vehicles for the business, but cannot invite clients, walk-in customers, or the general public onto the property, and cannot rely on larger delivery trucks or more than two delivery trips daily.
Violations & Fines
Allowing customers or the public onto the premises of a home occupation, exceeding the two-vehicle limit, or accepting more than two two-axle deliveries a day violates Sec. 7.8.9.C.2. Sec. 11.4.4 makes this a misdemeanor punished under Sec. 1.50.020 with a fine up to $1,000, up to six months in jail, or both, and each day the violation persists is a separate offense.
