A Lee's Summit home occupation may employ only residents plus one outside person, and it cannot generate traffic, parking, or deliveries beyond what a normal household produces. UDO Sec. 6.1400 keeps client visits incidental to the residential use.
Section 6.1400.B of the Unified Development Ordinance limits the footprint a home business leaves on the neighborhood. No one other than family members living at the home, plus a single additional person who does not reside there, may be employed in the business. The home occupation must not generate traffic, parking, sewer, or water use in excess of what is normal for a residence, and deliveries may only arrive by parcel-post or similar parcel-service vehicles, not freight trucks. Retail sales on the premises must stay secondary to the main operation. Together these limits mean a steady stream of customer cars to the house would exceed what the ordinance allows.
Excess customer traffic, on-street parking, freight deliveries, or extra employees violate Sec. 6.1400. Development Services can order the use corrected, impose municipal court fines, and revoke the home occupation approval.
