(A)   There are significant differences between home occupations conducted in residential dwellings on small tracts and those which may be operated in an accessory structure on the same property as a residential dwelling. The nature of resources available for use, the benefits and disadvantages created by home occupations, and the problems generated necessitate a distinction between home occupations and extended home occupations. Each concept is based on supplementing income, but due to density of development and different requirements on the placement of accessory structures extended home occupations typically require unique considerations. For the aforesaid reasons, certain types of uses may be permitted as extended home occupations in certain districts provided certain considerations are made.

      (1)   For the purpose of this section, provided all requirements are met, the following shall be considered extended home occupations:

         (a)   Personal services;

         (b)   Finance, insurance, and real estate services;

         (c)   Sale of products grown or produced by the residents of the property; and

         (d)   Light manufacturing/repair/other services provided all performance standards are met or exceeded.

         (a)   An extended home occupation may not be changed to another extended home occupation except by the issuance of a separate conditional use permit.

         (b)   Individuals engaged in such occupation shall consist of family members residing on the premises and up to one non-family employee.

         (c)   There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the buildings or premises, or other visible evidence of the conduct of such home occupation other than one on-premise sign, not to exceed 16 square feet in area, non illuminated.

         (d)   The only retail sales allowed shall consist of the sale of commodities/products prepared on the premises in connection with such occupation or activity.

         (e)   There shall be no outdoor storage of materials, vehicles, etc. related to the extended home occupation unless the aforementioned storage is placed behind a fence approved by the Board of Adjustment.

         (f)   Extended home occupations shall be conducted in an accessory building.

         (g)   No traffic shall be generated by such extended home occupation in greater volumes than would normally be expected in a residential neighborhood, and any need of parking generated by the conduct of such extended home occupation shall be provided off the street and other than in a required front yard.

         (h)   No equipment or process shall be used in such extended home occupation which creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors, or electrical interference detectable to the normal senses off the lot. In the case of electrical interference, no equipment or process shall be used which creates visual or audible interference in any radio or television receivers off the premises or causes fluctuations in line voltage off the premises.
