(2) The home occupation shall be clearly incidental and subordinate to the residential use of the property. The home occupation use may not exceed the greater of 400 square feet or 25 percent of the living space of the residence. (3) There shall be no change in the outside appearance of the building or premises or other evidence of the conduct of such home occupation visible from the street or adjacent properties. Signs and outdoor storage are not permitted except for a single four square foot identification sign. (4) There shall be no on-premises direct retail sales of goods or materials to the general public. This shall not be interpreted to preclude the occasional delivery of products produced on the premises in low volume or as a custom order, inclusive of specialty bakeries, dressmakers, tailors, artists and similar craft and artisan occupations. (5) Exclusive of child or adult day care, on-site customer or client contact shall be limited to the period between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. (6) Parking is limited to two off-street spaces in addition to the spaces required for residential occupancy. Parking must be ten feet from any property line and shall be suitably surfaced and effectively screened and buffered by landscaping from view of adjacent residential properties. (7) The occupation or activity shall not require the use of machinery or equipment that creates noise, odor, smoke, dust or glare or is unreasonably dangerous or disruptive to persons residing in the home or on adjacent property nor shall flammable or toxic substances be utilized other than that which would customarily be utilized in the home in association with a hobby or avocation not conducted for gain or profit. (8) Commercial vehicles must be kept behind the principal building setback line applicable in the district unless kept in a garage or an enclosed and screened storage yard.
