Home occupations in Highland Park must not generate traffic incompatible with the residential neighborhood. Customer visits may be limited and may require a Special Use Permit.
Highland Park home occupation rules under Chapter 150 restrict customer traffic to maintain residential character. The Home Business Questionnaire assesses whether the proposed business will generate customer visits requiring a Special Use Permit. Businesses with regular client visits are more likely to need special approval. Parking for any clients must be accommodated on-site. The business must not create noise, traffic, or other impacts incompatible with a residential neighborhood.
Excessive customer traffic is grounds for permit revocation. Warnings are issued first, followed by fines of $200–$500. Continued violations result in permit cancellation and a one-year cooling period before reapplication.
