Jonesboro, AR Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Sec. , and caps the total number of visitors at six per day, regardless of how many separate customers or repeat visits that involves. The following subsection, 117-226(2)(l), ties parking directly to that traffic limit: any parking generated by customer visits must be provided off-street, and none of it may be located in a required setback other than in an existing driveway. The code specifically bars converting yard areas into off-street parking to accommodate a home occupation's customers. These traffic controls sit alongside the occupation's other operating limits, including the requirement that the business stay clearly secondary to the home's residential use, occupy no more than 25 percent of the home's floor area, and generate no more employment than residents of the home can provide, so a business drawing steady client traffic can't simply add outside staff to handle the volume.

Because the six-visitor cap applies per day rather than per hour, a home business that regularly exceeds it, such as a stream of walk-in retail customers rather than scheduled appointments, falls outside what a home occupation approval permits and would need a different, non-residential commercial location instead.
