In Salem, Oregon, home businesses are generally permitted in residential zones as long as they adhere to certain regulations. These regulations often limit the size of the business space within the home, restrict the number of employees who don't live on-site, and may impose limitations on customer visits and vehicle traffic.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
General Permissibility:
Home businesses are typically allowed in residential zones as an accessory use to a dwelling.
The Salem city website specifically mentions that many home businesses are allowed, and provides examples like accounting, consulting, and craft businesses.
Specific Regulations:
Space Limitations:
The total floor area used for the home business cannot exceed 25% of the habitable space of the home.
Resident Operated:
The business must be operated by someone who lives on the property.
Employees:
There may be limitations on the number of non-resident employees, potentially limiting it to a small number or none.
Customer Visits:
Some regulations may limit the number or frequency of customer visits to the home.
Traffic and Parking:
There may be restrictions on the number of vehicle trips generated by the business, and on the parking of commercial vehicles.
Noise, Odor, etc.:
Businesses should not create excessive noise, odors, or other nuisances that affect neighbors.
Zoning and Planning:
Zoning laws are designed to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods and minimize the impact of commercial activities.
In Salem, you can find information about zoning and land use regulations on the City of Salem website.
You can also contact the Salem Planning Division for clarification or assistance.
In some cases, you may need to apply for a home occupation permit, which is a type of land use permit.
