Hamilton, NJ Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

The traffic limit sits inside the same conditional-use standards that govern every home occupation in Hamilton Township. Subsection K(11) frames the rule two ways: first, a general standard that a home business cannot generate traffic in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood, and second, a hard numeric ceiling that vehicular traffic and parking cannot be increased by more than one additional vehicle at a time. Any parking the occupation creates, whether for a client visit, a supplier delivery or the operator's own work vehicle, has to be absorbed off the street, on the home's driveway, rather than spilling onto the curb or a neighbor's frontage.
