Home occupations in Long Branch must not generate traffic beyond what is normal for the residential neighborhood. Customer visits to the premises are generally prohibited or severely limited. The business must remain incidental to the residential use.
Long Branch zoning requires home occupations to be incidental and subordinate to the residential use of the property. Under standard NJ MLUL home occupation conditions, the business must not generate traffic, noise, parking demand, or other impacts beyond what is customary for the residential neighborhood. Customer and client visits to the premises are generally prohibited or limited to occasional appointments. Delivery traffic must be comparable to normal residential deliveries. Commercial vehicles associated with the business are subject to the city's overnight parking ban (8 PM–7 AM) unless the owner obtains a Commercial Vehicle Parking Permit. The Zoning Board of Adjustment may impose specific traffic conditions on home occupation variances.
Excessive traffic from home business: zoning violation, fines up to $2,000. May trigger cease-and-desist order.
