Home occupations must not generate significant customer traffic or on-street parking impact. Typically limited to by-appointment visits only; no retail walk-in traffic.
McKeesport zoning regulates home occupations to preserve residential character. Approved home businesses must remain clearly incidental to the dwelling's residential use, with no exterior evidence of business activity beyond a small permitted sign. Customer visits are restricted to appointment-only scheduling, with typical limits of 1-2 clients at a time and no walk-in retail. On-street parking demand from customers must not exceed what is normal for a residential home. Deliveries must be at residential scale (UPS, USPS, FedEx ground) and not involve commercial trucks above a certain size. Violators may have home occupation approval revoked and face citations under the McKeesport zoning enforcement provisions.
Unpermitted customer traffic: zoning violation starting at $100-$500 per day until cured. Continued operation after revocation: summary offense up to $1,000 per day.
