§ 155.171 HOME OCCUPATION REGULATIONS.

   In any residential district, any gainful occupation conducted by a member of the immediate family owning and residing on the premises may use parts of a dwelling for a home occupation; provided, that the following conditions are met and a permit is issued by the Zoning Officer.

   (A)   Such occupation shall be clearly incidental or secondary to the use of the property as a residence and the use of the dwelling shall not change the character thereof or show any exterior evidence of such secondary use other than one small nameplate as provided in §§ 155.225 through 155.234.

   (B)   Home occupations shall be limited to the employment of not more than one assistant. An assistant is not to be construed as an additional independent operator or professional, but rather must be clearly an auxiliary helper such as a secretary or a receptionist.

   (C)   The home occupation shall be conducted wholly within the dwelling and shall not occupy more than 25% of the area of the first floor nor more than 400 square feet.

   (D)   All parking shall be off-street and two off-street spaces shall be provided in addition to that required of the residence unit.

   (E)   Any home occupation which may create objectionable noise, fumes, odor, dust, electrical interference or more than normal residential traffic shall be prohibited.
