Home Occupation Registry

55.17 HOME OCCUPATIONS. Subject to the limitations of this section, any home occupation that is customarily incidental to the principal use of a building as a dwelling shall be permitted in any dwelling unit. Any question of whether a particular use is permitted as a home occupation, as provided herein, shall be determined by the Zoning Official pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. The regulations of this section are designed to protect and maintain the residential character of established neighborhoods while recognizing that certain professional and limited business activities have traditionally been carried on in the home. This section recognizes that such activities can take place in a residential structure without changing the character of either the neighborhood or the structure. The following regulations apply to dwellings located in all zoning districts.
