Overland Park, KS Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

140(F)(8), the 'Visitation' standard, sets firm daily limits on client traffic to a home-based business. m. Within that window, a home occupation cannot generate more than 10 business-related visitations per day, defined as 10 arrivals and 10 departures by vehicle combined, meaning five round-trip visits is the practical daily ceiling. Home day care operations are allowed a slightly higher threshold of 12 arrivals and 12 departures per day by vehicle, reflecting the drop-off and pick-up pattern of child care. visitation window. 140(F)(5) layers on a parking condition that applies at all times the business generates traffic: no parking from the home occupation may occur in the public right-of-way except during those occasional meetings, and if parking from the home occupation disturbs normal neighborhood traffic flow, the City can determine the operation should be run from a commercial district and revoke its status as a permitted home occupation.

140(F)(11) also creates a rebuttable presumption: if an occupant is found repairing a vehicle, trailer, camper or boat not registered to that address, the City presumes the work is being done for compensation and constitutes an unpermitted home occupation violation unless the occupant can document otherwise.
