Home Occupations

The village’s zoning code permits home occupations by right subject to use-specific standards (§60.112.b). The village distinguishes between “nonrural” and “rural” home occupations.

“Nonrural” home occupations must comply with location and space, employee, dwelling modification, sign, display and sales, storage, nuisance, and parking standards (§60.501). It also includes standards for personal care and healthcare home occupations.

“Rural” home occupations must comply with the “nonrural” home occupations standards, and may include uses “accessory to a customary agricultural operation” or more intensive uses by nonagricultural households in rural districts (§60.401). The designation permits signs subject to the village sign ordinance. It permits mechanical and welding repair operations, and similar uses.
