Sec. 53-122(D) prohibits 'inordinate vehicular traffic' as evidence of business activity in residential districts. On-site customers are generally not allowed at North Port home occupations - the business must be invisible to neighbors from the curb.
The 'no evidence of business activity' standard in Sec. 53-122(D) is the operative test. A consultant or online seller who never has customers visit complies easily. Hair stylists, tutors, music teachers, and similar service businesses with regular customer visits typically fail the test because their parking generates the very vehicular traffic the rule prohibits. Sec. 53-122(E) further limits car-service activities. Home-based daycares are separately licensed under F.S. §402 and may be permitted as family day care homes under specific conditions despite the general restriction.
Code Enforcement may cite for inordinate traffic, customer parking, and commercial activity with fines up to $500/day before the special master.
