Full Breakdown
Plymouth's two-tier home occupation system sets very different customer-traffic limits depending on which track a business falls into. 04, Subd. 2(b), and Subd. 2(c) bars using on-street parking to handle that traffic. 04, Subd. 3(e). Licensed occupations may also use on-street parking to accommodate the higher traffic, but Subd. 3(d) lets the Zoning Administrator set, increase or decrease the maximum number of on-street spaces allowed as conditions change. Both tracks remain subject to the Subd. and the 25-percent floor-area cap. Businesses that expect regular gatherings of more than five non-residents at a time, such as classes or group lessons, are barred outright under Subd. 4(b), regardless of which client-visit tier they otherwise qualify for.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the daily client cap, whether the one-visitor limit for permitted home occupations or the ten-appointment limit for licensed ones, is a violation the Zoning Administrator can act on through the inspection authority in Section 21145.06, and can result in denial or revocation of a home occupation license or a citation for a zoning code violation.
