, seven days a week. The same section requires the business run so quietly that the average neighbor, under normal circumstances, would not be aware of its existence. Any stock-in-trade a home business sells must be limited to incidental visitor or customer purchases tied to by-appointment-only consultations, and none of it may be displayed where it is visible from the street. 3(2)(g). Beyond the citywide hours, the City can impose a tighter, permit-specific cap on client volume. 2(5)(b) lets the reviewer add a condition limiting the number of clients or visitors allowed per day or per hour, on top of requiring adequate off-street parking.
These conditions are treated as minimum standards a permit holder must keep meeting; the Zoning Administrator can revoke the permit for any violation and may inspect the property without advance notice to confirm compliance.
Violations & Fines
Hosting clients or scheduling deliveries outside the 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. window, displaying merchandise visible from the street, or exceeding a client-per-day cap set as a High-Impact permit condition violates LMC § 19.06.030.3 and § 19.06.030.2(5). The Zoning Administrator can revoke the home occupation permit for the violation and may conduct unannounced inspections to check compliance.
