Canal Winchester allows home occupations in residential zones subject to the city's home-occupation standards. The business must be clearly incidental to residential use, conducted entirely within the dwelling, and cannot alter the residential character of the property.
Typical restrictions include no more than one non-resident employee on site, no outdoor storage or display, no heavy equipment or truck traffic, and limits on the percentage of dwelling floor area devoted to the business (commonly 25 percent). Uses such as auto repair, kennels, and manufacturing are prohibited as home occupations. A home occupation permit or zoning certificate is typically required.
Operating outside the home-occupation rules can result in zoning citations of 100 to 500 dollars per day and an order to cease operations.
