You are required to establish and operate your home business in a manner which will not compromise your use of the home as your own and/or your family’s primary residence nor adversely affect the residential character of the neighborhood in which your home is situated. The following questions are intended to aid in determining compliance with the standards set forth in Chapter 19.85 of the Millcreek Zoning Ordinance. Note: Each Family member who participates in the home business is considered an employee for business license purposes. — Excluding yourself, how many family member employees will there be? 1. Is your proposed home business of a type and size of operation that will allow you and your family, as well as other property owners in your neighborhood, to continue to feel that your home is primarily a residence and the home business is secondary to that use? 2. The ordinance requires that in order to establish a home business, you must reside in the dwelling on a permanent year-round basis. Is the dwelling at which you will be conducting this home business your primary residence? 3. Do you intend to have non-resident employee? 4. If yes, is the street you live on 80 feet or wider? If your home is located on a street which is wider than 80 feet, then, in addition to yourself and members of your immediate family who also reside on a permanent year-round basis at your home, you may have one non-resident employee which works at the residence. 5. Your business must be conducted on an “appointment only” basis between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Will all services and sales activities associated with your home business be by appointment only and not designed to attract “off-the-street” customer traffic?
