CORRECTED CITATION: the live Use Chart (fetched directly this session) marks Home Occupation with footnote (24), not (A)(18) as an earlier version of this pack stated; the correct citation is Sec. 3.02.01(A)(24). A home occupation is an occupation secondary to a dwelling's use as a residence, conducted by the occupant on residential premises; the definition specifically excludes activities like a Bible study group meeting in a primary residence. Sec. 3.02.01(A)(24) (fetched directly this session) sets real, specific conditions, including: home occupations must be conducted entirely within the main building unless specifically permitted otherwise; no exterior evidence of the occupation detectable at the lot line (signage, smoke, dust, noise, fumes, glare, vibration, electrical disturbance); no exterior storage of materials or hazardous materials; no separate entrance; no more than 2 patron/business vehicles present at once with adequate off-street parking; at most 1 commercial vehicle of 1 ton capacity or less, not parked on the street; no regular deliveries by trucks over 1.5 tons (commercial package delivery is exempt); no advertising signs or audio/visual devices calling attention to the business; no merchandise display or on-site sales except as separately listed for an Author/Artist/Sculptor use; no traffic beyond normal residential volumes; the occupation must remain clearly incidental and secondary to residential use; no more than 2 non-resident employees; and a home occupation not specifically listed requires a Director determination, appealable per Sec. 3.02.01(A)(24)k. Confirm Sec. 3.02.01(A)(24) directly for the complete condition list, including customer-visit-hour and additional restrictions not fully catalogued here.
