Manchester zoning ordinances limit customer traffic at home-based businesses to preserve residential neighborhood character. Most NH communities allow limited client visits with parking requirements.
Manchester zoning ordinances regulate customer traffic at home-based businesses to maintain residential character. Common restrictions include limits on daily client visits, typically 5 to 10 per day, and hours of customer access generally matching business hours. Off-street parking must accommodate client vehicles without impacting neighbors. Delivery truck frequency and size may be limited. Some municipalities distinguish between home occupations with and without customer visits, requiring special exceptions for client-facing businesses. Professional services like tutoring, consulting, and therapy typically have the most flexibility. Retail sales from home are often more restricted than service-based businesses.
Excessive traffic complaints: investigation by code enforcement. Violations: warning, then cease and desist. Fines $275 per day for continued non-compliance.
