B. Professional Uses and Customary Home Occupations:
Subject to the requirements of this Ordinance, nothing herein shall prevent a profession or customary home occupation from being conducted in a residence or in a structure accessory to the residence in any district, provided, however, that said profession or customary home occupation is first approved as a special exception use by the Board of Adjustment.
1. For purposes of this Section, an approved professional or customary home occupational use will be one that can be conducted in accordance with the conditions and requirements set forth in paragraph 2 below. Uses not considered to be home occupations include blacksmithing, welding, stonecutting, vehicle repair and service, animal boarding except equine and care, retailing and food service (other than home produce and products), warehousing, distribution and manufacturing.
2. There shall be no adverse effect caused by the use on the residential character of the site or of any structure on it, on surrounding properties or on the natural environment. Thus, there shall be no nuisance or health hazard generated by noise, vibration, odors, heat, smoke, dust, light, glare, traffic or parking, or by soil, water or air pollution, or by any other effect of the use. Pursuant to these conditions the following requirements shall be met:
a. The use shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the site.
b. The use shall be carried out wholly within a dwelling or a structure accessory to the dwelling. An accessory structure not attached to the dwelling shall be no closer than the dwelling to any public right-of-way. Buildings or other facilities on the same site that are not customary to a residence, or farm in a Rural/Agricultural District, shall not be included in the use.
c. The use shall be conducted by one or more members of the household occupying the dwelling. No more than two (2) persons outside the household shall be employed in the use.
d. The use shall cause no variation from the exterior residential character of the dwelling or other structure employed in the use. Thus, there shall be no display on the structure or in a window, no sign and no other building feature normally associated with a non-residential use.
e. The use shall cause no variation from the residential character of the site. Thus there shall be no exterior display or storage of goods or equipment, no sign, no more than four (4) off-street parking spaces in total required by the use on a regular basis, no on-street parking and no traffic either in volume or in vehicle size that is not ordinarily associated with a residential use.
