A home occupation in Saginaw County may not generate customer or delivery traffic beyond normal residential levels. Walk-in retail is barred, and client parking must stay off the street.
Under home-occupation zoning in the City of Saginaw, Saginaw Township, Frankenmuth, and Bridgeport, a home business must stay low-intensity. Client visits, deliveries, and parking cannot exceed what a normal household generates, and retail with walk-in shoppers is not allowed. Services that would bring a steady stream of clients, need customer parking on the street, or draw commercial delivery trucks fall outside the ordinance. Online sellers who ship orders and professionals who occasionally meet a client generally fit, as long as the traffic stays modest and parking stays on the property. Repeated complaints can trigger a zoning review of the permit.
Repeated complaints of business traffic, on-street client parking, or walk-in customers can trigger a code-enforcement review of the home occupation and an order to stop the traffic-generating activity, with fines for continued violations.
