What is a Home Occupation Permit and how do I apply for one?

A Home Occupation Permit is a ministerial permit that can be granted for certain uses within agricultural, open space, mobile home park and residential districts upon determining that such land uses comply with the requirements of the zoning ordinance.  Establishment and operation of a home occupation requires a business license, obtained by filing a completed application form with the Business License Office.  Detailed information regarding applicable procedure for obtaining a home occupation permit is provided in Article 30 (Site regulations) Section 3007 (Home Occupations) in A, O, MHP, and R Districts of the 1992 Zoning Ordinance.
