Naperville home occupations must not generate traffic inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood. The business must be undetectable by the average neighbor. Excessive customer visits, deliveries, or parking issues may trigger code enforcement action.
Under Naperville's home occupation zoning provisions in Title 6, the business must be conducted so that the average neighbor would not be aware of its existence. This effectively limits customer traffic, deliveries, and commercial activity at the residence. The business must remain subordinate and incidental to the residential use. Large numbers of customer visits, frequent commercial deliveries, or parking congestion caused by business activities would violate the undetectable standard. No external evidence of commercial activity may be visible. Home occupations generating traffic patterns similar to a commercial establishment may be required to cease or relocate to a commercially zoned area.
Excessive traffic or commercial character: code enforcement notice. Continued violations may result in loss of home occupation status, fines, and requirement to cease the business activity.
