Home occupations shall be subject to the requirements of the zoning district in which they are located, as well as the following standards, unless otherwise specified elsewhere in this chapter.
(A) Home occupations must be customarily incidental to the use of the dwelling as a residence.
(B) No outdoor display or storage of materials, goods, supplies or equipment used in the home occupation shall be permitted on the premises.
(C) The appearance of the principal structure shall not be altered, nor shall the home occupation be conducted in a manner that would cause the premises to differ from its residential character either by the use of colors, materials, construction, lighting, signs or the emission of sounds, noises or vibrations.
(D) Only the residents of the dwelling unit may be employed on the premises.
(E) The home occupation may increase vehicular traffic flow and parking by no more than one additional vehicle at a time. No more than ten customers or clients shall come to the dwelling unit for services or products during any one day. Any need for parking generated by the conduct of the home occupation shall be met off the street and other than in the required front yard.
(F) No home occupation shall require internal or external alterations or involve construction features or the use of electrical or mechanical equipment that would change the fire rating of the structure.
(G) One non-illuminated nameplate, not more than four square feet in area, shall be permitted. The sign shall be attached flat to the building wall, and shall display only the name and occupation of a resident on the premises.
(H) A home occupation shall not create noise, dust, vibration, odors, smoke, glare, electrical interference, fire hazard or any other hazard or nuisance to any greater or more frequent extent than would normally be generated in a similarly zoned residential district.
