HOME OCCUPATIONS
Home Occupations are intended to provide for commercial uses associated with a residence in
those cases where that use will clearly not alter the character or the appearance of the residential
environment. Home Occupations, as defined in §3.6 of the Town’s Zoning Code, shall be
permitted in any residential district, subject to approval by the Town Manager in compliance
with the following conditions:
1. All home occupations shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the use of the
property and dwelling unit for residential purposes. A valid Town sales tax and/or
business license shall be maintained for the home occupation use.
2. The home occupation is conducted entirely from within the principal residence or garage,
and shall not change the residential character thereof. Carports, accessory buildings, and
yards may not be used for home occupations.
3. No more than twenty-five (25) percent of the gross floor area of the dwelling shall be
devoted to the home occupation. Areas devoted to the home occupation use shall
maintain a residential appearance.
4. There shall be no employees other than members of the immediate family residing in the
dwelling unit where the home occupation is being operated.
5. No business shall be conducted which requires delivery vehicles or other services not
customary to a residence. Deliveries and pickups shall not block traffic and shall only
occur between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Monday thru Saturday.

6. There shall be no external evidence of the home occupation activity such as outdoor
storage, displays, noise, dust, odors, fumes, vibration, electrical interference or
fluctuation, or other nuisances discernible beyond the property lines.
7. No signs signifying the business or commercial product or service are allowed.
8. Customer/patron and shipping/receiving trip generation shall not exceed five (5) trips per
day. Exceptions to this shall be allowed for music, art, craft or similar lessons, swim
lessons, and home day care providers.
9. No truck or van with a load rating of more than one (1) ton shall be stored on the site.
Outside storage of heavy equipment or material is prohibited.
10. Any parking incidental to the home occupation shall be in driveways or other on-site
parking areas and shall not create hazards or street congestion.
11. Storage of goods and materials necessary for the home occupation shall not include
flammable, combustible or explosive materials.
12. A Home Occupation Permit shall be issued for a period of time not to exceed five (5)
years from the date the permit was first issued.
13. All federal, state, and local regulations that pertain and are applicable to a home
occupation shall be met.
I, the undersigned, understand that any permit issued pursuant to this application does not
grant any right or privilege to use any building or land contrary to the provisions of the
Town’s Zoning Code. I will comply with the provisions of §3.6 of the Zoning Ordinance as
listed above. I hereby certify that I am the resident or authorized representative of the
property described in this application, and that the information provided in this
application is to the best of my knowledge, true and correct.
