C. Home-Based Business. Home-based businesses may be permitted administratively within the MU-H Overlay District. Home-based businesses are not home occupations and may consist of on-site employees and a limited number of visits from clients, patrons, and deliveries related to the business. The business operation is not limited to a certain amount of floor or lot area unless conditionally approved with such limitations. The zoning administrator may approve or conditionally approve a home-based business, subject to providing minimum necessary site improvements. These improvements may consist of screen walls for approved outdoor storage areas, frontage and screen buffer landscaping and irrigation, dust-proof surfacing for driveways, walkways and other exterior areas, and on-site parking and maneuvering improvements necessary to accommodate and serve the proposed home-based business.

3. The zoning administrator shall consider the nature of the proposed use, the number of proposed on-site employees, and the proposed hours of operation to determine necessary conditions of approval. The zoning administrator may require neighbor notification when outdoor business activities are proposed or if it is determined the proposed use has the potential to disrupt the existing character of the surrounding properties.

4. Home-based businesses are permitted to have one professionally made ground-mounted sign not to exceed three and one-half feet in height and 12 square feet in area. [Res. 21-09; Ord. 21-05 § 2; Res. 14-36 § 303.02; Ord. 14-12 § 1.]
