The purpose of this subsection is to permit the conduct of home occupations, which includes Cottage Food Production Operations as defined by 25 Texas Administrative Code Sec. 228.2(9) (as may be amended), and which are compatible with the neighborhoods in which they are located. Some home occupations are a permitted accessory use in a residential district and are subject to the requirements of that district in which the use is located, in addition to the following:

The following are examples of uses which can often be conducted within the limits of this subsection. Uses listed in this paragraph do not automatically qualify as a home occupation nor does this listing limit the uses which may qualify as home occupations: piano and guitar instruction, handicraft, dressmaking, preserving, accountant, artist, author, consultant, individual tutoring, millinery, child care of no more than five (5) children, and barber or beauty shops. The following uses are incompatible with residential neighborhoods and thereby impair the character of residential areas. Therefore, these uses shall not be permitted as accessory uses in residential districts: vehicle repair, painting of vehicles or boats, television and appliance repair, fix-it shops, cabinet shops, and machine shops.

The city commission shall interpret the provisions of this subsection to determine the validity of a home occupation. A use considered not within the scope of the home occupation provisions shall be subject to the provisions of the commercial or industrial zones of this ordinance.
