“Home Occupation” shall be defined as a regular accessory use of a dwelling unit for gainful employment involving the provision or sales of goods and/or services, conducted entirely within the dwelling unit, carried on by a resident who lives in the dwelling. The use must clearly be incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for residential purposes and does not change the character thereof or adversely affect the uses permitted in the residential district in which it is a part. In general, a home occupation is an accessory use so located and conducted that the average neighbor would not be aware of its existence. This includes no advertising or any other display which will indicate from the exterior that the building is being used for any purpose other than that of a dwelling, there shall be no retail sales on the premises, no more than 10% of the floor area (basement and second floor included, not including the garage or yard) is used, and no mechanical equipment is used except such as is permissible for purely domestic purposes.
The foregoing definition shall supersede the definition contained in the Louisville Metro Land Development Code with respect to its application to the City of Hurstbourne.
