“Home Occupation” means any occupation or profession, other than “incidental residential uses” as defined herein, conducted entirely within a dwelling unit by the inhabitants thereof which is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the premises for dwelling purposes and which does not change the residential character thereof. Home Occupations shall be subject to the following requirements:
(a) There shall be no display or retail sale of goods on the premises.
(b) All persons working at the home occupation site shall be full-time residents of that dwelling unit.
(c) There shall be no evidence from the exterior that the dwelling unit is being utilized for purposes other than a dwelling. No addition, alteration, or remodeling of a dwelling shall be permitted in connection with any home occupation.
(d) No signs advertising the home occupation shall be permitted.
(e) Practice of the home occupation shall be permitted in the principal dwelling only, not in any accessory buildings.
(f) Deliveries shall not restrict traffic circulation.
(g) Traffic generated by the home occupation shall not exceed volumes normally expected in a residential neighborhood.
(h) A home occupation shall not produce noise, obnoxious odors, vibrations, lighting glare, smoke, or fumes detectable to normal sensory perception on any adjacent lots or streets, nor shall it produce detectable electrical interference.
(i) The outdoor storage of goods, materials, or equipment shall be prohibited. The home occupation shall not involve the storage of hazardous, flammable, or combustible liquids or materials, other than those customarily found in a dwelling (and of no greater intensity or duration than that customarily associated with a residence.)
(j) Not more than one commercial vehicle together with equipment, tools, and stock-in-trade maintained therein where such motor vehicle is used as the owner’s means of transportation, shall be permitted in any residential district; provided that such vehicle shall be parked on the premises and not on any public street, and provided further that such tools and equipment are not used for the performance of services upon the premises and stock-in-trade is not sold from the premises.
(k) The following types of home occupations shall be prohibited: any business whose primary function is the rendering of services to customers or clients on the premises, with the exception of educational services such as tutoring or music instruction.
