Full Breakdown

Home occupations approved in Cheyenne's residential zoning districts may post only one sign, and it cannot be illuminated or exceed three square feet in area. The limit sits alongside the city's other home occupation rules under UDC Section 5.7.2: no offensive noise, dust or glare beyond the property line, no exterior storage of business materials, and registration of the business in the City Planning and Development Department's home occupation database with all applicable fees paid. The sign cap keeps a home-based business from looking like a standalone commercial storefront in a residential neighborhood.

Violations & Fines

Exceeding the size or lighting limit puts the home occupation out of compliance with its UDC registration, risking code enforcement action or revocation of the home occupation registration by the Planning Department.

Just one, and it cannot exceed three square feet in area under the home occupation standards in UDC Section 5.7.2.
