(A) Requirements for permitted home occupations. A home occupation may be conducted as a secondary use in a dwelling, provided that:
(1) The use of the dwelling for the home occupation clearly must be incidental and subordinate to its use for residential purposes, and not more than 25% of the floor area of the dwelling may be used in the conduct of the home occupation.
(2) There may be no change in the outside appearance of the building or premises, or other visible evidence of the conduct of the home occupation other than one sign, not exceeding six square feet in area, non-illuminated and mounted flat against the wall of the principal structure.
(3) No traffic may be generated by a home occupation in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood, and any need for parking generated by the conduct of the home occupation shall be met off the street. No home occupation, or any required parking for the home occupation, shall use the parking space required for the residence.
(4) No vehicles, except those normally used as passenger vehicles, will be used for the home occupation unless stored or parked elsewhere.
(5) No equipment or process shall be used in a home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors or electrical interference detectable by normal senses off the lot.
(6) Any equipment or materials used in connection with a home occupation shall be stored within the principal structure or in an enclosed space outside of the principal structure.
(B) Procedures for permitting a home occupation. Any person considering the establishment of a home occupation must submit an application to the Zoning Administrator under the procedures specified in § 153.10.
(C) Home occupations allowed as conditional uses. Where a proposed home occupation would not conform to any one of the conditions specified in division (A) above, the home occupation must be reviewed as a conditional use under the procedures of § 153.11.
