Summary
Hendersonville caps a Major Home Occupation at two customers on-site at a time and eight per day, all outside 10 PM-7 AM hours, while a Minor Home Occupation allows no customers at all.
A Major Home Occupation may have no more than two customers or other persons other than employees on the premises at one time and not more than eight per day, provided they are not on the premises between the hours of 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
Full Breakdown
For a Major Home Occupation, approved only by the Board of Zoning Appeals through the Conditional Use Permit process, the code allows "no more than two customers or other persons other than employees on the premises at one time and not more than eight per day," and none between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM. The Board may further restrict customer numbers and hours as a condition of approval. By contrast, a Minor Home Occupation permits no customers or clients on the premises at all, so any home business expecting client visits must obtain Major Home Occupation approval first.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the customer count or hours, or receiving clients under a Minor permit, is a zoning violation punishable as a misdemeanor with a $50 fine per day of continued violation (§ 4.13).
