If four to six children who are not related to a permanent resident of the dwelling are cared for, then the following requirements shall be met:

All family day-care homes shall be licensed if required by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare or its successor agency, and verification of such licensing shall be submitted to the Township within six months of the issuance of a Township permit for a family day care.

The burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to prove that the standards of this section will be met, especially regarding possible nuisances and truck traffic. Based upon the potential nuisances of a proposed general home occupation, the Zoning Hearing Board may determine that a particular type or intensity of use is unsuitable to be a home occupation or that the proposed lot area or setbacks are not sufficient.

The home occupation shall be conducted completely indoors and may be within a principal or accessory residential building.

Nuisances. No machinery or equipment shall be permitted that produces noise, noxious odor, vibration, glare, electrical interference or radio or electromagnetic interference beyond the boundary of the property.

The applicant shall prove to the satisfaction of the Zoning Hearing Board in the case of a general home occupation and the Zoning Officer in the case of a light home occupation that the use will include adequate off-street parking and loading spaces. The amount of parking in the front yard should be held to a minimum to maintain a residential character. Therefore, the Township may allow appropriate, safe, on-street areas to be used to meet a portion of parking needs. If additional parking is needed beyond what can be accommodated using appropriate on-street spaces and a residential-style driveway, then the Township may require that such parking be provided in the rear of the home if practical and may deny the use if such rear parking cannot be accommodated.

Building Appearance. The exterior of the building and the lot shall not be changed in such a way as to decrease its residential appearance, except for permitted parking spaces and the permitted sign.

Each stack shall be separated from other stacks by a minimum of 75 feet, shall be covered and shall be set back a minimum of 75 feet from all lot lines.
