Resolution on Square Footage Permitted for Home Occupation

Whereas, a home occupation, or business, is supposed to be incidental to the 
primary residential use of a home;

And whereas, the UDO limits the square footage to 30% of the floor area of 
the livable portion of a home, and the old ordinance had both a percentage 
limit and a total square footage limit;

And whereas, 30% of a 3000 square foot home is 900 square feet, which would 
be a 30’ x 30’ area;

We, the InterNeighborhood Council of Durham resolve that Article 5 of the 
UDO should be amended to limit the total square footage devoted to home 
occupation to the smaller of 30% of the livable portion of the home or 600 
square feet.
