Home occupations in Islip must not generate traffic or parking demand beyond a normal residence. Code allows incidental client visits by appointment only, with no more than one client vehicle on-site at a time and no commercial deliveries larger than standard parcel carriers.
Group instruction, walk-in retail, and regular group appointments such as fitness classes or large daycares are not permitted as home occupations. State-licensed family daycare under NY Social Services Law is a specific exception allowed by right. Parking must occur in the driveway; persistent street-parking by clients draws code enforcement. Traffic complaints trigger a zoning review and possible revocation of the home-occupation authorization.
Traffic or parking nuisance: cease-and-desist with appeal to ZBA. $250-$1,000 per day until the use conforms.
