Summary
Unincorporated Carroll County limits vehicles kept in connection with a licensed home occupation to those 'used primarily as passenger vehicles,' so commercial trucks and other work vehicles tied to a home-based business cannot be parked at the residence.
Only vehicles used primarily as passenger vehicles shall be permitted in connection with the conduct of the home occupation.
Full Breakdown
This restriction sits within the additional specifications for home occupations at Sec. 102-5(5.11)(c), which apply wherever a resident operates an administratively approved home occupation in an agricultural or residential zoning district. Subsection (c)(7) states plainly that "only vehicles used primarily as passenger vehicles shall be permitted in connection with the conduct of the home occupation." It sits alongside related specifications barring on-street parking and requiring "sufficient off-street parking" for both residents and clients (subsection (c)(5)). The printed Ch. 102 framework in this export, which covers districts, the Sec. 102-8 use tables, administration, and the corridor development plan, does not contain a freestanding, general commercial or oversized-vehicle parking ban that applies to every residential lot regardless of home occupation status; the only vehicle-type restriction found in the code is the one tied specifically to the conduct of a home occupation. A property without an active home occupation permit is not reached by this rule as printed here.
Violations & Fines
Keeping a non-passenger commercial vehicle in connection with a home occupation violates Sec. 102-5(5.11)(c)(7) and is grounds for the director of community development to deny or revoke the home occupation permit under the disapproval process in Sec. 102-5(5.11)(g); absent a more specific penalty, the county's general penalty in Sec. 1-13 applies: up to $1,000 fine or 60 days imprisonment, with each day a separate offense.
