Westland strictly limits customer and client visits to home-based businesses to preserve residential parking and neighborhood character, with most uses requiring no on-site clients.
Westland home occupation rules require that the business not generate customer or client traffic that would alter the residential character of the neighborhood or create parking demand beyond ordinary residential use. In practice, businesses with steady walk-in customers such as retail, salons with multiple chairs, or instruction studios are not permitted as home occupations. Limited client visits by appointment are typically tolerated when they do not create parking congestion or disturb neighbors. Deliveries by standard courier services are allowed, but commercial truck deliveries on a regular basis are prohibited. Businesses that require client traffic must locate in commercial zones with proper parking and access provisions.
