The city is not opposed to a home occupation which is incidental to the primary use of a home as a dwelling and does not infringe upon the health, welfare, and right to quiet enjoyment of nearby home owners. An occupation may, therefore, be conducted in a residential dwelling unit, but only if the occupation conforms at all times to all of the following criteria and conditions:
(A) The home occupation shall be incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling unit for dwelling purposes.
(B) There shall be no signs, advertising, display, or activity that will indicate from the exterior that the building is being used, in part, for any purpose other than a dwelling.
(C) No commodities shall be sold on the premises except preordered merchandise. Such merchandise shall be limited to specialty goods and services only.
(D) All activity including storage shall be conducted completely within the dwelling unit and in no case shall there be visible, outside storage of goods, supplies, or equipment.
(E) There shall be no perceptible noise, odor, smoke, electrical interference, or vibration emanating from the structure in which the home occupation functions.
(F) No mechanical or electrical equipment shall be used except typewriters, calculators, small copy machines, and a computer no larger than mini.
(G) No hazardous materials shall be stored, as defined by the National Fire Protection Association's current revision.
(H) No traffic shall be generated by the home occupation in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood.
(I) Home occupations in all residential districts shall be considered as special privileges within that district and shall be revocable when the home occupations impinge upon the rights and privileges of the residential district in which they take place by violating all above criteria.
(J) No persons shall be employed on the premises except persons who are permanent legal residents of the premises.
