Home Occupations
No special permit for the use of a dwelling for a home occupation shall be granted unless the Zoning Board of Appeals makes a finding that the buildings or premises occupied will not be rendered objectionable or detrimental to the residential character of the neighborhood due to the exterior appearance, traffic, emission of odor, gas, smoke, dust noise or electrical disturbance, or due to any other incident of the home occupation.  In the case of a multi-family dwelling, the Zoning Board of Appeals must find that the use will in no way become objectionable or detrimental to any residential use within the multi-family structure.



A special permit for the use of a dwelling for a home occupation shall contain the following mandatory conditions:

1.      No person other that the residential occupant(s) shall be employed therein;

2.      Not more than three hundred (300) square feet shall be devoted to such use; and

3.      There shall be no display of goods, wares or signs related to the home occupation visible from exterior.
