Home occupations in Shawnee must not generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residence; significant client visits can disqualify the use.
Shawnee permits home occupations on a bargain: the business exists, but the neighborhood never feels it. The zoning standard bars traffic, parking demand and deliveries beyond what a residence would ordinarily produce, and significant client visits are the classic way businesses break the bargain. The stakes are the use itself — a home occupation that outgrows residential character can be disqualified, ending its legal basis to operate from the house. Appointment-heavy businesses should weigh that before committing to a home address.
