Balancing Needs - Home Businesses and Neighbors
The
internet and current growth in new business development fosters
a growing
home business
segment in town.
Most blend easily with little
impact on neighbors.
Current Home Business regulations set limits on
square footage, parking, on-site storage, the size of signs.
In addition, the present code requires a site plan review.
We believe the current regulations meet the community's
needs, for the most part. The few complaints focus on storage
on-site. Often that storage violates current code. However, we
have found that many are unaware of the home business regulations.
Few
comply with the requirement for site plan review.
In our efforts to communicate better, the town
should publicize the home business regulations to increase
compliance.
