It is the purpose of this Chapter to:
(a) Recognize that a residential property owner or resident has a limited right to conduct a non-obtrusive business from his/her residence, and that the average neighbor will generally prefer to have that business conducted in such a fashion that he/she is unaware of its existence;
(b) Maintain the residential character of residential neighborhoods;
(c) Prevent the use of home occupations from transforming a residential neighborhood into a commercial one; and
(d) Encourage and promote efforts to reduce traffic congestion and generation of pollutants by allowing and recognizing changing work environments including telecommuting and work-at-home options.
