Summary

a. The need for parking generated by the business may not be greater in volume than would normally be expected at a similar residence where no business is conducted... 6.

Full Breakdown
New Port Richey's Land Development Code doesn't set a numeric cap on client visits, but it constrains them indirectly through LDC § 12.08.00. Parking generated by a home-based business can't be greater in volume than would normally be expected at a similar residence with no business: a de facto limit on client and customer traffic. The code also bars retail transactions at a structure other than the residential dwelling, though incidental business uses and activities may still occur on the property.
Violations & Fines
A home business drawing client parking or visits well beyond what an ordinary residence generates, or running full retail transactions on site, violates LDC § 12.08.00(4)(a) and (6).
