The office of a member of a recognized profession shall include only the office of an accountant, architect, attorney, dentist, insurance agent, professional engineer, minister, physician, surgeon, teacher providing instruction in the arts, or such similar professional occupation which may be so designated by the Township agency upon a finding by the agency that such occupation is truly professional in character, training and experience as a condition for the practice thereof. The issuance of a state or local license for regulation of any gainful occupation need not be deemed indicative of professional standing.

Such office shall be determined by the Township agency to be one which is normally and customarily conducted in a residence, and such use shall be conducted wholly within the principal building on the premises, excluding porches and garages. Products related to such office shall not be sold on the premises.

Such office shall involve principally the personal services of occupants of the residence, by appointment only, to no more than one client unit at a time. No more than three persons shall be employed, one of whom may be a person who does not reside on the premises.

Such office use shall be conducted on a limited scale so as not to detrimentally affect the residential character of the zone district, and the establishment of such office shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the principal use of the premises for residence purposes.

Goods, materials, supplies and equipment related to such office shall not be visible from the outside of any structure located on the premises, and shall be transported to and from the premises exclusively in passenger motor vehicles and/or vehicles normally associated with residential parcel deliveries.

There shall be no advertising of any kind on the premises, except permitted professional signs pursuant to Subsection 20-24.3.

Not more than 1/2 of the floor area of one story of the principal building or 1/3 of the total livable floor area of the principal building, whichever is less, shall be devoted to such office use, and such office shall not be located above the first or street floor of said building.

In addition to the parking requirements contained herein for the applicable zone district, one off-street parking space shall be provided for each nonresident employee. In addition, sufficient off-street parking spaces shall be provided to accommodate the anticipated maximum number of clients being served and waiting to be served at any one time, unless such parking spaces are fully available and permissible on the street immediately abutting, and on the same side as, the subject premises.

Adequate landscaping shall be provided pursuant to Subsection 20-21.2.

Electrical and mechanical equipment operated in conjunction with such office shall not create visible or audible interference in radio or television reception, or in the operation of similar equipment and appliances, on other properties, or cause fluctuations in line voltage outside the principal building, or external noises not normally associated with residential use.

No offensive vibrations, smoke, dust, odors, heat or glare shall be produced and there shall be no undue increase in traffic, parking or other factors which would be detrimental to the quiet enjoyment of neighboring properties.

Nothing herein shall be construed to permit funeral parlors, undertaking establishments, biological or other medical testing laboratories, warehouses, or similar activities.

The Township agency may require such additional conditions as it may deem reasonably necessary in the public interest including, but not limited to, provisions restricting the minimum vehicular distance between such professional office uses and provisions restricting the hours during which such professional office activities may be conducted.
