Little Compton City Zoning Code

§ 14-5.6 Accessory Uses

Customary Home Occupations.

[Ord. 6/23/94, Art. 5; amended 6-12-2025]

In order to maintain the rural agricultural character of the Town, which is distinctly different from a rural residential character, and which rural agricultural character traditionally includes a variety of other occupational uses on the land in combination with and in addition to the agricultural use and the agricultural accessory uses, customary home occupation uses are allowed as accessory uses in the Residence (R) District. All customary home occupation accessory uses shall comply with subsection 14-5.11, Performance Standards for All Uses, and the following conditions and regulations:

There shall be a single household detached dwelling on the lot, and the operator of the customary home occupations shall occupy such dwelling unit as his or her primary and legal residence and domicile.

There shall not be more than one such customary home occupation accessory use per lot allowed by right. Two or more customary home occupations shall require approval of a special use permit by the permitting authority pursuant to subsection 14-9.5 of this chapter.

Home occupation must remain secondary to the principal residential use, both in scale and purpose. The gross floor area used for the home occupation should not exceed 50% of the gross floor area of the principal residential structure. For home occupations permitted by right, use of more than 50% of the gross floor area shall require a special use permit.

There shall not be more than two nonresident employees, associates or partners.

There shall be no sale of commodities other than either those principally created or repaired on the premises or related incidental retail sales.

There shall be a 25-foot setback between any structure or accessory structure containing a home occupation, including any outdoor activity related to such home occupation, such as a driveway or parking of vehicles, and the nearest adjoining lot line.

Visible alteration of the premises and any exterior display shall maintain the residential character, and exterior signage shall conform with the requirements of Section 14-7 of this chapter.

There shall be off-street parking provided to meet the requirements of Section 14-8 of this chapter, both for the principal residential use and for the customary home occupation as a separate use.

All such customary home occupation accessory uses shall require a zoning certificate from the Building Official and, if any construction is required, a building permit.

The provisions of this section do not relieve the operator of the requirement to obtain any and all other licenses and permits that may be required by the Town, State or Federal Government for the operation of the use.

All customary home occupation accessory uses shall comply with Chapter 3, Section 3-1, Disturbing the Peace, of the Little Compton Code of Ordinances.

Conditions for termination. The home occupation shall cease under any of the following circumstances:

The proprietor-resident vacates the premises.

The use is abandoned, as defined in Subsection 14-2.4h.

There are violations of Subsection 14-5.11, Performance Standards for All Uses.
