Garfield's Chapter 341 Zoning controls home-based business activities through district use regulations, requiring residential character to be preserved with limited professional offices permitted within dwellings.
Under Chapter 341 (Zoning), originally adopted December 20, 1960, Garfield regulates uses permitted in residential R districts. Professional offices may operate within a dwelling provided the residential appearance is maintained. Any home-based activity must comply with the city's use regulations and the schedule of district regulations. Activities outside permitted accessory or professional uses require zoning board approval.
Operating an unpermitted commercial use in a residential zone, exceeding accessory use limits, or failing to obtain zoning approval can result in summons, daily fines, and orders to cease the home business activity.
