Summary
West Jordan caps most home occupations at six customers or clients per hour under City Code § 13-11-2K, provided off-street parking is available and the neighborhood is not adversely affected. Daycare, certified childcare, dance and exercise studios, music lessons, preschools and tutoring are carved out of the hourly cap and follow their own, higher client limits instead.
K. Traffic, Parking Requirements: Home occupations shall meet the following traffic and parking requirements: ... 2. Up to six (6) customers or patrons per hour may come to the home, provided adequate off street parking is provided and the use does not adversely affect the neighborhood. This subsection excludes daycare, certified residential childcare facilities, dance studio, aerobic exercise, music lessons, preschools, tutoring, general educational instruction, and other related uses where this code expressly allows for a larger number of clients. 3. A home occupation shall not generate vehicular traffic (both type and volume) which is not commonly associated with the zone in which the home occupation is located (i.e., heavy trucks, delivery or service vehicles, significantly increased traffic, etc.).

Full Breakdown
Section 13-11-2K sets the general traffic and parking rules every home occupation must meet. 2 allows "up to six (6) customers or patrons per hour" to visit the home, but only if adequate off-street parking is provided and the visits do not adversely affect the neighborhood; that six-per-hour cap does not apply to daycare, certified residential childcare facilities, dance studios, aerobic exercise, music lessons, preschools, tutoring, or general educational instruction, which the code allows to run at the higher client counts set elsewhere in Chapter 11.
3 backstops the numeric cap with a qualitative rule: a home occupation cannot generate vehicular traffic "not commonly associated with the zone," naming heavy trucks, delivery vehicles, and service vehicles as examples of traffic that crosses the line regardless of the customer count. 1). under § 13-11-2O, and promotional sales meetings for taking orders are limited to once a month under § 13-11-2N, both of which layer onto the traffic cap to control the volume and timing of home-business visitors.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the six-customers-per-hour cap, receiving visitors outside 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., or generating traffic the zone was not designed for violates § 13-11-2 and puts the home occupation license at risk under § 4-2D-2's requirement that the use keep meeting every Chapter 11 standard. With no separate fine set in Chapter 11, a conviction defaults to the citywide class B misdemeanor penalty in § 1-14B-1.
