Home occupations in Orem residential zones must not generate customer traffic or on-site visits that alter the residential character. No non-resident employees typically permitted. High-traffic businesses require a Conditional Use Permit or commercial zone.
Orem's residential zoning framework limits home occupations to activities that do not change the character of the neighborhood. Standard rules prohibit or restrict: regular customer visits, retail sales from the property, non-resident employees, and exterior storage of business equipment. Businesses generating significant traffic, noise, or parking demand must operate in a commercial zone or obtain a Conditional Use Permit.
