Joliet's home occupation regulations under Section 47-5.3(c) prohibit any external evidence of the business, effectively restricting customer traffic. The business must be operated entirely within the dwelling by residents only, with no separate entrance for customers.
While Joliet's zoning ordinance Section 47-5.3(c) does not specify a numerical limit on customer visits, the requirement that there be no external evidence of the home occupation, combined with the prohibition on separate entrances and non-resident employees, effectively limits customer and client traffic. The business must be operated entirely within the principal dwelling, and the building cannot be altered to be unsuitable for residential use. Equipment must be limited to what is customarily found in residences. These conditions collectively ensure that home occupations generate minimal traffic impact on the neighborhood.
Zoning violations subject to fines up to $750 per offense. Operations may be ordered to cease if generating excessive traffic.
