Home occupations in Onondaga County must not generate traffic beyond normal residential levels. Client visits typically capped at 1 to 2 clients at a time with off-street parking required.
Town zoning codes across Onondaga County define home occupation as incidental and subordinate to residential use. Typical standards: no more than 1-2 clients on the premises at any time, no more than 3-5 client visits per day, on-site parking required (no street parking of clients), no deliveries by vehicles over Class 3, and operations limited to daytime hours (commonly 8 AM to 7 PM). Syracuse Zoning Ordinance Chapter 1300 classifies home occupations by intensity. DeWitt, Manlius, and Clay require a Home Occupation Permit with site plan review for categories beyond basic professional services.
Town zoning violations: $50-$250 per day (NY Town Law 268). Permit revocation for repeat violations. Nuisance injunction available for excessive traffic.
