Full Breakdown
Sec. 24-403(c)(5) bars any exterior change to a home occupation property that alters its residential look, and it names signs specifically alongside colors, materials, construction, and lighting. Read together with the rest of Sec. 24-403(c), which confines the business to an enclosed structure and caps customer traffic, the practical effect is that a Greeley home business cannot post a commercial sign, awning, or other exterior marker identifying the operation. The property has to keep looking like an ordinary house from the street, whatever the business inside it.
Violations & Fines
Posting an exterior sign or otherwise altering the property's residential look violates Sec. 24-403(c)(5) and can lead the director to deny or revoke the required home occupation permit.
