§ 155.430 PURPOSE.

   (A)   The purpose of this subchapter is to encourage those who are engaged in small commercial ventures that could not necessarily be sustained if it were necessary to lease commercial quarters or which, by the nature of the venture, are appropriate in scale and impact to be operated within a residence. Home occupations are encouraged for their contribution in reducing the number of vehicle trips often generated by conventional businesses.

   (B)   Two types of home occupations are contemplated by this code:

      (1)   Administrative home occupations meeting the standards in § 155.431 of this chapter are allowed by right; provided, the owner has a current business license and all other uses and structures on the subject property are in conformance with the applicable zoning; and

      (2)   Home occupations exceeding any of the threshold standards in § 155.431 of this chapter may receive approval through the conditional use home occupation procedure under §§ 155.070 through 155.077 of this chapter and must obtain an applicable city business license.
