Hinds County, MS Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

03 sets the traffic and parking rule for every home occupation permitted under Section 416: the business cannot generate traffic in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood, and the Director of Permit and Zoning makes that determination when reviewing the application. 03 separately bars parking inside a residential district's required yards except in a driveway. The Director of Permit and Zoning sets the actual amount of off-street parking the business must provide at the time the owner applies for the building permit or change-of-use permit, weighing the scale and nature of the specific business rather than a flat number, so a business that draws a steady stream of client visits can be required to add off-street spaces or be denied the permit outright if the traffic it would generate does not fit a residential street. 06 that already cap how large the underlying business can be.
