The same subsection extends the ban to storage, display, or activity connected with the home occupation that's visible outside the structure, so equipment, inventory, or work in progress has to stay indoors or in a fully enclosed accessory building not used for the occupation itself. The rule applies uniformly to every home occupation permitted under § 4.12, regardless of zoning district.
