Full Breakdown
Under the city's home occupation permit rules, pedestrian and vehicular traffic generated by a home-based business cannot exceed what's typical for the residential zone it sits in. Customers cannot be served or sold goods on-site, orders must go through phone or computer, with one exception: instruction or teaching, capped at three students per session and six per day. The community development director can approve exceptions for occasional single events beyond those caps. Violating these conditions is grounds for the city to revoke the home occupation permit.
Violations & Fines
The director revokes a home occupation permit for violating these conditions unless corrected within three days of written notice; repeat violations can be revoked without further notice, appealable to the planning commission.
