Home Occupation Requirements Affidavit

Section 14-3 Home Occupations Not Applicable

A home occupation is an accessory use of the primary dwelling unit permitted either by-right or by
conditional use permit. Home occupations are generally conducted and located such that the average
neighbor, under normal circumstances, would not be aware of their existence. The standards set forth in
this section of the City of Peoria Zoning Ordinance are intended to ensure compatibility of the home
occupation use with the residential character of the neighborhood. The proposed use shall be clearly
accessory or incidental to the residential use of the main building to qualify as a home occupation use under
this section.

(Please initial at each statement indicating that you have read and understand each of the
above requirements.)

A. A Home Occupation where permitted, except for Day Care Group Homes, shall be considered a
permitted accessory use when it complies with the following regulations.

1. No changes shall be made which alter the residential appearance of the building. This
shall include alterations or additions to the existing building(s) and construction of parking
areas or garages in excess of what is common to the surrounding area.

2. No signs shall be allowed advertising a Home Occupation.

3. Home Occupations shall not have exterior display, exterior storage of materials or
equipment or other exterior indication of the Home Occupation.

4. The Home Occupation shall not be discernable from beyond the premises, particularly
emissions of noise, light, dust, gas, vibration, odor or smoke.

5. The Home Occupation shall not involve more than one (1) business caller or visitor at a
time and not more than two visitors per hour, nor commercial deliveries or outside services
beyond those normal and incidental to the residential uses in the district.

6. The Home Occupation shall be conducted by a resident or residents of the dwelling unit
only. No outside employees shall be employed at the site, and not more than one employee
may report to the site for off-site employment.

7. No unusual load shall be placed on power, sewer, water or other utilities as a result of the
Home Occupation use.

8. External activity resulting from the Home Occupation shall be limited to the hours
between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

9. No more than two (2) commercial vehicles may be parked on the Home Occupation site
for personal use, except as provided by the City Code and no storage of commercial vehicles
shall be allowed.

10. All Home Occupations shall be subject to the standards contained herein and shall be
approved by the City prior to the initiation of any business activity.

11. A valid sales tax and/or business license shall be obtained for the Home Occupation use.

I hereby certify that I have read and understood the above regulations concerning Home
Occupations. I agree to comply with them. Further, it is my understanding that failure to comply
with the above regulations or complaints received from local residents may cause my license to
be revoked.
