A home occupation must comply with the following standards:

(a)

Use. The home occupation must be incidental and subordinate to the use of the property as a residence.

(b)

Parking. No portion of a home occupation may occupy a required off-street parking space or cause an off-street parking space to be displaced, except that one required off-street parking space may be occupied by a business-related vehicle.

(c)

Traffic and deliveries. The home occupation may not generate vehicular traffic that exceeds the traffic normally associated with a single-family residential use. Deliveries to the home occupation may not exceed the frequency of deliveries and types of vehicles normally associated with residential neighborhoods. Deliveries to the home occupation may occur only between the hours of eight a.m. and eight p.m.

(d)

Appearance. The residential appearance of the property at which the home occupation is conducted must be maintained, with no exterior indication of a home occupation. Exterior signs advertising the home occupation, window displays, outdoor displays, and other exterior indications of the home occupation may not be used.

(e)

Storage. No equipment, parts, materials, supplies, merchandise, refuse or debris may be stored outdoors. Equipment, parts materials, supplies or merchandise may be stored within a permanent, fully enclosed compartment of a passenger vehicle or truck. No refuse or debris may be stored in any vehicle. No hazardous chemicals may be stored at the site of a home occupation, other than those normally associated with a residential use.

(f)

Nuisances. No noise, odor, dust, fumes, vibration, smoke, electrical interference, or other interference with the residential use of adjacent properties may be created by the home occupation. The home occupation may not result in water, electricity, garbage, sewer, or storm drain usage that exceeds normal residential usage.
