Smyrna Zoning Appendix A — home occupations must not generate commercial-level customer traffic. Client visits should be incidental to the business. Prohibited if traffic, parking, or activity disrupts residential character.
Smyrna's home occupation provisions under Zoning Appendix A prohibit home-based businesses from generating commercial-level traffic or parking demands in residential neighborhoods. Client visits must be minimal and incidental to the business operation. Businesses requiring frequent deliveries, multiple employee vehicles, or regular customer queuing are not permitted as home occupations in residential zones. Uses that generate complaints from neighbors about increased traffic or parking may face enforcement action and potential revocation of the Occupational Tax Certificate.
Excessive traffic: warning then $100 to $500. Zoning violation: $250+/day. Business relocation may be required.
