Home occupations in Saint Michael must remain clearly accessory to the residential use. Customer or client visits are tightly limited, and any nonresident employees, deliveries, or on-street parking that change the residential character can disqualify the use under Chapter 155.
Chapter 155 imposes the standard Minnesota performance criteria on home occupations: the business may not adversely affect neighborhood character through noise, odor, smoke, dust, gas, heat, glare, vibration, electrical interference, traffic congestion, number of deliveries, hours of operation, or any other annoyance. Customer visits are reviewed individually as part of the Home Occupation Permit application — businesses generating frequent client visits or commercial truck deliveries are generally denied. Off-street parking must be provided for any clients; on-street parking pile-ups can trigger permit revocation. The use cannot occupy more than a stated share of the dwelling's floor area as set in the permit conditions.
Excessive customer traffic violating permit conditions can result in revocation of the Home Occupation Permit and citation under Sec. 10.99 — misdemeanor with up to $1,000 fine and 90 days.
