Full Breakdown
030(C). A child care home-based business is measured differently, by the number of children present, up to six unrelated children at one time, rather than by a daily customer count. 030(C)(11) adds a parking condition tied to that traffic: a customer's vehicle may be parked at the home only while the customer who owns it is physically present on the property, so a customer cannot leave a vehicle parked at the home business between visits. 030(C), these customer-facing limits are what keeps a home-based business looking and functioning like a residence from the street.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the five-customer daily cap without upgrading to Class II conditional use status, or leaving a customer's vehicle parked at the home when the customer is not present, is a zoning violation under STC § 18.95.030, enforced by inspection and citation from the zoning administrator, with penalties up to $750 per offense for an individual under STC § 18.95.040.
