Pinellas Park follows Florida Statute 559.955, which requires home-based business traffic and parking to stay consistent with surrounding residential uses. Excessive customer visits, deliveries, or on-street parking can violate the residential character requirement.
Florida Statute 559.955 governs customer and vehicle traffic at home-based businesses statewide. The law requires that vehicular traffic, delivery activity, and parking generated by the business not be greater in volume than would normally be expected at a similar residence where no business is conducted. All vehicles used in connection with the business must be parked in legal parking spaces that are not within the right-of-way, on or over a sidewalk, or on any unimproved surface. Pinellas Park's Article 15 zoning rules supplement these state standards. Persistent customer traffic above normal residential levels can be cited as a code violation.
Generating customer or delivery traffic exceeding normal residential levels, blocking sidewalks, or parking on unimproved surfaces can result in code enforcement action.
