More than one home occupation may be associated with a residential dwelling, provided that all home occupations associated with a residential dwelling shall collectively comply with the regulations of this section. Only one home occupation shall be licensed to conduct home childcare per dwelling unit. The sale and distribution of goods conducted on site is prohibited, except that goods may be sold on site that are incidental and secondary to a service of the home occupation.

City Code § 5.38.020 limits every home occupation to no more than twelve one-way vehicle trips per day, a ceiling that covers customer and client visits together with deliveries. Traffic from business visitors can't exceed what would normally occur at any home in the neighborhood, and delivery vehicles are capped at a 19,500-pound (Class 5) gross vehicle weight rating. Business activities involving pedestrian or vehicular traffic are also confined to the hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Licensed preschools are the one exception: § 5.38.030 exempts them from the twelve-trip cap.
