Home Occupations

The city’s zoning code permits home occupations by right subject to use-specific standards (§36.2.413).

All permitted home occupations must comply with location and space, dwelling modification, parking, storage and display, commercial vehicle, delivery, sign, nuisance, and specific use prohibition standards (§§36.2.413.c – .d).

The city distinguishes between two types of home occupations, personal service (§36.2.413.f) and accessory use (§36.2.413.e). Personal service home occupations prohibit non-family employees and regulate auxiliary entrances and exits to the premises associated with the personal service home occupation (§36.2.413.f). Permitted accessory use home occupations must comply with employee and customer visitation standards (§36.2.413.e).
