Any portion of a residential property, including a home phone, computer, mailing address, etc., used in deriving income or sales, will require the resident to obtain a Home Occupation license. These uses are restricted to particular zoning districts. Child care and other day care providers are exempt from home occupation licensing and requirements except for signage restrictions. The impact of a home occupation on its immediate neighborhood must be minimized. No retail sales are permitted from the site other than incidental sales related to services provided.
Storage is limited to the principal residence including attached garages.
Additional off-street parking may be required for the business. No offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat, or glare shall be noticeable at or beyond the property line. Code requirements regulating home occupation businesses are located in Chapter 29-459 of the City Code of Fort Collins. In addition to Zoning requirements, prohibition of or limitations to home occupation businesses may be regulated by subdivision, condominium, or similar covenants.
