(b) Incidental and Subordinate: The home occupation shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the home’s use for residential purposes and on an average not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the dwelling unit shall be used in conducting the home occupation. Larger areas of the home may be used to carry on the home occupation as long as the use is clearly incidental, subordinate to the primary residential use and these larger areas of the home are used for conducting a home occupation only on an infrequent basis (e.g., meetings or group sessions).

No home occupation shall be permitted in any accessory building. The Planning Commission may permit the storage of sample sales materials in garages by manufacturers, sales representatives, or the use of a garage for pottery, minor woodworking activities, or other arts and crafts materials. Machine tool-type operations and any form of vehicle or equipment repair in an accessory structure within a residential structure is prohibited.
(d) Exterior Evidence of Business: There shall be no exterior evidence of conduct of a home occupation other than the presence of a non-illuminated sign permitted in Section 1189.04
(a).
(e) Traffic:
(1) All parking for the home occupation shall be located off-street and shall not be located in any front yard except within the driveway.
(2) The conduct of a home occupation shall not reduce or render unusable areas provided for required off-street parking.
(3) Traffic generated by home occupation shall not exceed the volume normally expected for residents in a residential neighborhood which for the purpose of this Zoning Ordinance means up to eight (8) trips per day.
