Home businesses in Sioux Falls must not generate customer traffic that exceeds what is typical for a residential neighborhood. Retail sales with walk-in customers are generally not permitted. Services requiring frequent client visits may need a different zoning district.
Home occupations should not create noticeable increases in vehicle traffic, parking, or pedestrian activity in the neighborhood. Businesses involving regular customer visits, product deliveries, or retail sales are generally not appropriate as home occupations. The zoning code may allow limited client visits by appointment. Businesses expecting significant customer traffic should locate in commercial zones.
Exceeding traffic limits: written warning followed by fines of $100 to $300. Persistent violations may result in home occupation permit revocation. Neighbors may file formal complaints.
