A home occupation is an occupation, profession, or craft which is clearly incidental to the residential use of a site. Home occupations shall be subject to the following standards:
A. The home occupation shall be conducted by an immediate member of the family residing within the dwelling on the site.
B. There shall be no more than one individual employed at the site who does not live in the dwelling on the site.
C. The home occupation may be conducted in any accessory building on the site and in no more than one-half (1/2) of the floor area of the building housing the primary use. No home occupation shall be allowed on a site where the primary use has not been established.
D. The home occupation shall be of a nature that does not generate retail business or have customer traffic on a regular basis. An equipment storage facility where more than one employee arrives at the site to pick up equipment, then leaves to work off site, shall not be permitted as a home occupation, but instead must be permitted as a cottage industry pursuant to section 8.4.504 of this article.
E. Storage of equipment, inventory, or work related items other than vehicles, shall be within the residence or a permitted accessory building. Outdoor storage is prohibited. A special notice permit is required for storage within a cargo container or trailer in zones where such storage is permitted; otherwise, such storage is prohibited. (Ord. 493, 6-9-2016)
