Full Breakdown
Under Lansing's home-occupation standard, any activity tied to the business, including clients, customers, and pickup or delivery vehicles, can't disturb the surrounding neighborhood's quiet enjoyment through noise, vibration, odor, or glare. On top of that general standard the code sets a hard numeric cap: no pickup, delivery, or other vehicle trip related to the home occupation before 7:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m., and no more than five total pickups, deliveries, or customer/client visits allowed in a single day.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the five-visit daily cap or running client traffic outside the 7 a.m.-7 p.m. window is a Zoning Code violation the City can cite, with the Board of Zoning Appeals handling disputed enforcement.
