Teaneck's home occupation rules restrict client visits and on-site parking to maintain residential traffic patterns and prevent neighborhood disruption.
To qualify as a permitted accessory home occupation, the business cannot generate vehicular or pedestrian traffic substantially greater than normal residential levels. Frequent client visits, deliveries, or pickups that congest the street, require off-site parking, or create noise are prohibited. Operators must accommodate any business-related parking on the driveway, not on lawns or unimproved areas. Some uses, such as music lessons or therapy, may be allowed only with limited, scheduled clients to avoid creating a quasi-commercial atmosphere in residential districts.
