Summary
Parker bans signage for home occupations outright. The only carve-out is for a state-approved or state-licensed vineyard, which may post a sign; every other home-based business must operate without any exterior identification.
(b) No signage is permitted for a home occupation (with the exception of state-approved/licensed vineyard).
Full Breakdown
Section 156.37(M)(2)(b) states plainly that no signage is permitted for a home occupation, with the exception of a state-approved/licensed vineyard. This tracks the underlying HOME OCCUPATION definition in § 156.01, which defines the use itself as commercial activity that does not involve signage, meaning a home business that posts a sign stops meeting the zoning definition altogether. That makes signage enforcement dual-pronged: a sign is both a direct violation of § 156.37(M)(2)(b) and evidence the operation has exceeded the scope of a home occupation, exposing the property to broader enforcement as an unpermitted commercial use under § 156.37(M)(1). The vineyard exception is narrow and tied to state approval or licensing, so a resident cannot claim it for a general agricultural or craft business; it applies specifically to a licensed vineyard operation. Residents who want visibility for a home business are limited to off-site advertising, since the code gives no path to a permitted on-site sign outside that single carve-out.
Violations & Fines
Posting a sign for a home occupation without qualifying as a state-approved or licensed vineyard violates § 156.37(M)(2)(b) and is enforceable under the general zoning penalty in § 156.99(B): a misdemeanor fine of up to $2,000 per offense, with each day the sign remains counted as a separate offense.
