A. “Home occupation” means any activity conducted for financial gain or profit in a dwelling unit, and which activity is not generally or customarily characteristic of activities for which dwelling units are intended or designed.

B. Such activity is clearly incidental or secondary to the residential use of a dwelling unit, and is conducted only by persons residing in the dwelling unit plus no more than one nonresident assistant or employee. Persons engaged in building trades or similar fields, using their dwelling unit or residential premises as an office for business activities carried on off the premises may have more employees than the limitation set forth in this chapter if they are not employed on the premises.

C. The occupation may include such uses as personal, business or professional services, offices and repair shops for household items; however, home occupations shall emit no noise, air pollutants, waste products or other effects detrimental to the environment or the neighborhood beyond those normally emanating from residential use. (Ord. 573 § 2, 1990).
