4. Home Occupations. It is the intent of this subsection to regulate home occupations so that the average
neighborhood resident, under normal circumstances, will not be aware of their existence. Home occupations must
meet all of the following criteria:
a. Home occupations shall be conducted entirely within the principal structure or an accessory structure associated
with the residential use (but not within an accessory dwelling unit), and shall be carried on by the inhabitants of the
principal dwelling and no others. A person who does not reside within the principal dwelling cannot be employed in
the home occupation.
b. Home occupations shall be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling for dwelling purposes and
shall not change the residential character of the property.
c. The total area used for a home occupation shall not exceed an area representing one-half (fifty percent) of the
first floor building area of the principal dwelling unit.
d. There shall be no advertising or other display or indications of a home occupation, with the exception of signage
permitted per Chapter 15.06 (Signs), of this Development Code.
e. There shall be no substantial retailing or wholesaling of stocks, supplies, or products conducted on the premises
of a home occupation; however, delivery of retail products to the consumer off the premises, such as in the course
of a mail order business, shall be permitted.
f. There shall be no exterior storage on the premises of supplies or material used in the home occupation, nor of any
chemically hazardous, explosive, or combustible material within the dwelling or upon the exterior of the property.
g. A home occupation shall not render unusable off-street parking required for the dwelling per this Development
Code. A home occupation shall provide additional off-street parking area adequate to accommodate all needs
created by the home occupation, without changing the residential character of the premises. Home occupations
shall provide adequate screening of off-street parking areas provided for the home occupation.
h. A home occupation shall not generate or result in nuisances such as traffic, on-street parking, noise, vibration,
odor, glare, fumes, electrical interference, or hazards greater than that usually associated with residential uses.

nuisance, relocate the use, or terminate use of the property for the home
occupation.
(h) The following uses shall not be considered home occupations:
Automotive repair shops, construction equipment storage yards, welding

Community Development Department °
Memorandum c~ OR
TO: Randy Young, City Manager
City Council
FROM: Alan White, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Vehicles Used for Home Occupations
DATE: February 6, 2004
At the November 7, 2003 study session, Council directed staff to investigate how other jurisdictions
regulate the number of vehicles that may be used in conjunction with a home occupation. Currently
only one vehicle may be used for a home occupation in Wheat Ridge. The home occupation
regulations are found in Section 26-613.
A related section, Section 26-621 (Residential Parking), allows no more than one truck or van used
for commercial purposes to be parked on a residential lot, provided the vehicle does not exceed a one
ton chassis. The commercial purpose can be located off-premises or on-premises. This means that
the one home occupation vehicle allowed under Section 26-613 could be a commercial vehicle
subject to the one ton chassis limitation.
We also looked at the uses allowed as home occupations, restrictions on the number of employees,
and home occupation parking restrictions. The results are summarized in the attached table.
