Waukegan limits home-based businesses to one visitor (client, customer, or pupil) at a time. Parking must be accommodated in existing driveway or garage on the property.
Home occupation regulations in Waukegan strictly limit customer traffic: a maximum of one visitor associated with the business may be present at any given time. All parking needs must be accommodated on the same zoning lot within an existing driveway or garage. No on-street parking for business purposes. The business must not generate traffic that alters the residential character of the neighborhood.
Excessive customer traffic is grounds for permit revocation. Warnings are issued first, followed by fines of $200–$500. Continued violations result in permit cancellation and a one-year cooling period before reapplication.
