Stafford home occupations under Chapter 102 must not generate vehicular or pedestrian traffic beyond what is normal for a residence, and on-street customer parking that disturbs neighbors is restricted.
The Stafford zoning code requires home occupations to remain incidental to residential use. This means customer or client visits must be infrequent and must not produce traffic, noise, or parking demand that exceeds what is normal in the residential district. Activities that draw a steady stream of customers, deliveries from large commercial vehicles, or that require frequent on-street parking are inconsistent with the home occupation standard and may be cited as a zoning violation. Code Enforcement responds to complaints from neighbors regarding traffic and parking impacts.
Operating a home business that produces frequent customer visits, repeated commercial deliveries, or on-street parking demand inconsistent with normal residential use.
