Home occupation customer traffic standards in unincorporated Dane County vary by zoning district. Rural and agricultural zones are more permissive; residential-transitional zones restrict visible business activity.
In Dane County's agricultural and rural zoning districts, farm-based businesses, agritourism, and home occupations may attract significant customer traffic without violating county zoning. In residential-transitional (TR) districts, home occupations must minimize customer traffic to preserve neighborhood character. In all districts, access driveway standards must be met for the level of traffic generated.
Excessive customer traffic for a home occupation in a residential zone may result in a zoning complaint and possible conditional use revocation.
