Summary
Gresham bans all signage for home occupations: no sign may reveal a home business exists, and nothing visible from the street or a neighbor's yard may show the home is used for anything but a dwelling.
No signs shall be used indicating the existence of the home occupation. There is no display or other evidence that will indicate from public rights-of-way or abutting residences that the dwelling unit is used in whole or in part for any purpose other than as a dwelling.
Full Breakdown
This performance standard applies to Type II reviewed home occupations and, through Section 10.0504's cross-reference to Subsections 10.0505(A)-(E) and (G)-(I), to the simplified Type I exception category as well, so essentially every permitted home occupation in Gresham is subject to it, regardless of review track.
Violations & Fines
Posting a business sign or any street-visible or neighbor-visible evidence of a home occupation violates Section 10.0505(A)-(B); the City Manager may revoke the permit under Section 10.0508 for the violation.
