Home occupations that are permitted by right include artists, authors, dressmakers, home crafts, and home office facilities that do not have customer or client contact on the premises (accountants, brokers, clergymen, engineers, etc.). As a general rule, home occupations that involve on-premises customer or client contact require a Special Use Permit from the Board of Supervisors. There are exceptions - including photography studios, day care for up to 6 children, and tutoring or music lessons for up to 4 persons - all of which are permitted as a matter of right in the RC, RR, R33, R20, and R13 zoning districts.
Other home occupations that require a Special Use Permit include those that have non-resident employees or generate a parking demand for at least 3 parking spaces. Small contracting businesses in the RC, RR, or WCI zoning district also require a Special Use Permit. Prohibited home occupations include auto repair and servicing, funeral homes, gift shops, medical or dental clinics and restaurants.
