Home occupations in unincorporated Utah County must not generate customer traffic or activity inconsistent with the residential or rural character of the neighborhood.
Utah County's Land Use Ordinance requires that home occupations in residential zones not create a level of traffic, parking demand, noise, or visual impact inconsistent with the surrounding area. Regular customer visits generating commercial-level traffic may require a conditional use permit or relocation to a commercial zone. Agricultural and rural zones may have more latitude for on-site business activity. Contact Utah County Community Development for guidance on customer traffic thresholds for specific home occupation types.
Excessive traffic complaints: permit review. Revocation for repeat violations. Cease-and-desist order.
