Within the various zoning districts as described, certain use groups are permitted as they are mutually compatible. It is the intent of this chapter to restrict incompatible uses; however, it is not the intent to eliminate certain home occupations which may be compatible with residential areas. Home occupations are hereby permitted and defined as a business, occupation, or profession carried on within a residential dwelling by a resident or residents thereof, and shall have the following characteristics:

   1.   There shall be no external evidence of the occupation with the exception of one unlighted nameplate of not more than one square foot in area attached flat against the dwelling. Advertising signs or displays through a window are not permitted.

   2.   There shall be no emission of smoke, dust, odor, fumes, glare, noise, vibration, electrical or electronic disturbance detectable at the lot line.

   3.   The activity shall employ only members of the immediate family of the residents of the dwelling.

   4.   There shall be no general stock of goods on the premises nor shall there be any display of samples.

   5.   There shall be no continual visits by the general public and there shall not be any activity so as to cause parking and/or traffic problems annoying to the public.

   6.   The above listed characteristics shall not be construed to restrict the sale of garden produce on the premises, provided this exception shall not extend to allow the operation of a commercial greenhouse or nursery, or the existence of stands or booths for the display of produce grown on the premises.

   7.   Any business, occupation, or profession the operation of which does not meet the aforesaid characteristics, shall not be interpreted to be a home occupation.
