Quakertown Borough Ch. 27 §318 governs home occupations as accessory uses in MR, HR, TC, and POMU districts. Separate category for no-impact home-based businesses. Only one principal use per lot (except POMU). Contact Code and Zoning at 215-536-5001.
Quakertown Borough zoning (Chapter 27) permits home occupations as accessory uses in multiple districts: Medium Density Residential (MR), High Density Residential (HR), Town Center (TC), and the Pedestrian-Oriented Mixed-Use Overlay District (POMU). All home occupations must comply with the standards in §318. The code distinguishes between 'home occupation' and 'no-impact home-based business' as separate categories with different requirements. No more than one principal use is permitted on a lot except in the POMU district. In the Town Center district, home occupation is a permitted accessory use with the same §318 standards. The Code and Zoning Department handles all permits and can advise on specific requirements.
Operating non-permitted use: zoning violation. Non-compliance with §318: enforcement action.
