(a) As used in this article, “home occupation” means an accessory use conducted completely within a dwelling unit in an R-1, R-2, R-2A, R-3 and R-5 zoning classification. The occupation shall be carried on by any member of the immediate family residing on the premises, clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for residential purposes. Not more than twenty five percent (25%) of the area of the dwelling unit shall be devoted to the home occupation.
(b) Home occupations in such residential districts shall be considered as a revocable special use. A homeowner who wishes to conduct business in a multi- family or rental unit, must have a letter of approval from the landlord, manager, or provide proof of ownership. When such occupation impinges on the rights and privileges of surrounding neighbors, the use shall be revoked by the village board.
