Richardson home occupations must limit customer traffic to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood. Excessive client visits that generate noticeable traffic or parking impacts may trigger Code Enforcement action.
Home occupations under Richardson's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance must remain incidental to the residential use. Customer traffic must be limited to levels that do not generate noticeable increases in vehicle traffic, parking congestion, or disturbance to neighbors. Operations generating regular deliveries by commercial vehicles, frequent client visits throughout the day, or parking on neighboring properties may be deemed non-compliant. Code Enforcement officers evaluate home occupations during daily residential patrols. If a home business generates complaints about traffic or parking, the city may require the business to cease or relocate to a commercially zoned location.
Excessive traffic from a home business may result in citations and an order to cease operations. Fines up to $2,000 per violation.
