It is the purpose of this chapter to eliminate as home occupations all uses except those that conform to the standards set forth in this chapter. Custom and tradition are intentionally excluded as criteria. In general, a home occupation is any accessory use so located and conducted that the average neighbor, under normal circumstances, would not be aware of its existence other than for a nameplate as permitted in Section 1159.03(l). The standards for home occupations in this chapter are intended to insure compatibility with other permitted uses and with the residential character of the neighborhood, plus a clearly secondary or incidental status in relation to the residential use of the main building as the criteria for determining whether a proposed accessory use qualifies as a home occupation.
