Grove City permits home occupations in all residential districts as a secondary use provided the business is clearly incidental to the residential use. Business must be conducted inside the dwelling, no more than 25 percent of floor area may be used, and no non-resident employees may work on site.
Grove City Zoning Chapter 1135 defines Home Occupation standards: the occupation must be carried on entirely within the dwelling (not the garage or accessory structures), must not change the residential character of the property, and must not involve outdoor storage of equipment, materials, or inventory. No commercial vehicles over 3/4 ton may be parked at the residence overnight. Certain uses are prohibited entirely as home occupations including auto repair, beauty/barber shops with more than one chair, kennels, restaurants, and medical clinics. A home occupation permit may be required for businesses receiving customers.
Zoning violation, minor misdemeanor up to 150 dollars per day. Persistent violations can result in revocation of any home occupation approval and cease-and-desist orders.
