Chapter 20.20
HOME OCCUPATIONS
Sections:
20.20.000 Purpose.
20.20.010 Home occupation.
20.20.015 Prohibited home occupations.
20.20.020 General regulation.
20.20.030 Permit.
20.20.000 Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to allow residents to carry on home occupations on their
property while guaranteeing neighboring residents freedom from excessive noise,
excessive traffic, nuisance, fire hazard and other possible potential negative impacts from
the maintenance of a commercial use within a residential neighborhood. The purpose of
this chapter is to permit two types of home use occupations while prohibiting other
commercial uses in residential neighborhoods. Commercial enterprises employing only
the residents of a structure which are operated entirely within the structure and which
require no deliveries or other traffic are intended to be permitted activities. Other
occupations such as music teachers, newspaper delivery and other commercial activity
which are intended to serve the neighborhood and which promote traffic only within the
neighborhood as opposed to attracting traffic to the neighborhood from outside, are also
intended to be permitted uses. A home occupation is generally an economic enterprise
operated within a dwelling unit, or buildings accessory to the dwelling unit which are
incidental and secondary to the residential use of the dwelling unit, including the use of
the dwelling unit as a business address in the phone directory or as a post office mailing
address.
20.20.010 Home occupation.*
A home occupation may be conducted as a permitted use in any residential zone of the
city subject to the following regulations:
A. Home occupation shall be a permitted use if it:
1. Is carried on exclusively by a family member residing in the dwelling unit; and
2. Is conducted entirely within the structures on the site, without any significant
outside activity; and
3. Uses no heavy equipment, power tools or power sources not common to a
residence; and
4. Has no pickup or delivery by business related commercial vehicles (except for the
U.S. Mail) which exceeds 20,000 pounds gross vehicle weight; and
5. Creates no noise, dust, glare, vibration, odor, smoke or other impact adverse to a
residential area beyond that normally associated with residential use; and

http://www.mrsc.org/mc/edmonds/Edmonds20/Edmonds2020.html7/2/2010
Chapter 20.20 HOME OCCUPATIONSPage 2of 4
6. Does not include any employees outside of the family members residing at the
residence, including but not limited to persons working at or visiting the subject
property; and
7. All performance criteria established pursuant to ECDC 17.60.010.
Any permit granted to such an occupational use shall be immediately voidable upon proof
of any visit to the site in excess of the standards provided in paragraphs A(4) and A(6) of
this section or any visits by a customer, client or other persons purchasing goods or
services from the home occupation. Proof of one such occurrence shall be sufficient to
void the permitted use provided under this section and thereby requiring the home
occupation to meet the permitting provisions hereinafter contained in this chapter. An
example of an out right permitted home occupation is a writer or artist who develops a
book or art work and does not show the work from the home.
B. A home occupation which does not meet one or more of the requirements of
subsection (A) of this section may be approved as a conditional use permit (Type III-B
decision) pursuant to Chapter 20.05
ECDC and the procedures set forth in Chapter 20.06
ECDC, if the home occupation:
1. Will not harm the character of the surrounding neighborhood;
2. The temporary and permanent keeping of animals associated with home
occupation must comply with all provisions of Chapter 5.05 ECC (Animal Control)
and ECDC Title 16;
3. Will not include storage, display of goods, building materials and/or the operation
of building machinery, commercial vehicles or other tools, unless it meets the
following criteria:
a. Is wholly enclosed within a structure or building,
b. Does not emit noise, odor or heat, and
c. Does not create glare or emit light from the site in violation of the city’s
performance criteria;
4. Does not create a condition which injures or endangers the comfort, or pose
health or safety threats of persons on abutting properties or streets; and
5. Will not generate traffic from outside of the neighborhood nor excessive intra-
neighborhood traffic or necessitate excessive parking beyond that normally
associated with a residential use; and all performance criteria established by ECDC
17.60.010 are met. Any permit granted to such a home occupation shall be
immediately voidable upon proof of any visit to the site by any client, patient or
customer in excess of the standard established through the conditional use permit
process, and proof of one such occurrence shall be sufficient to void such permit in
any proceeding under ECDC 20.100.040 relating to review of approved permits.

*Code reviser’s note: Ordinance 3783 amends interim Ordinance 3775 amending ECDC
20.20.010(B). Ordinance 3775 expires July 5, 2010.
20.20.015 Prohibited home occupations.
Certain home occupations depend for their economic viability upon the sale or provision
of services to persons throughout the city or the regional community rather than the
neighborhood in which they reside thereby attracting to a neighborhood traffic beyond
that generally associated with the neighborhood or intra-neighborhood traffic. Such home
occupations which depend upon travel to the site by customers, clients or patients are
specifically prohibited.
A. The following occupational uses shall be presumed to generate such traffic:
1. The offices of any doctor of medicine, dentist, orthodontist, chiropractor or other
health care professional licensed under the state of Washington (excluding licensed
massage therapists);
2. The offices of any person engaged in the practice of law;
3. The offices of any veterinarian; and/or
4. Any structure used for the retail sale of goods, except as expressly permitted by
ECDC20.20.020(E) as an adjunct to a permitted use.
B. The presumption established by subsection A of this section shall be rebuttable, but
the applicant shall have the burden of proving that no commercial traffic will be generated
by clients, patients or customers. Any permit granted to such an occupational use shall
be voidable upon proof of any visit to the site by a client, patient or customer, and proof
of one such visit shall be sufficient to void such permit and any proceeding under ECDC
20.100.040 relating to the review of approved permits.
C. The limited sale of services on site by occupations other than those listed in
subsection A of this section shall be permitted so long as:
1. All performance criteria established by ECDC 17.60.010 are met and the
conditional use permit issued pursuant to ECDC 20.20.010(B) and Chapter 20.05
ECDC are met; and
2. The home occupation is advertised, intended and/or in fact attracts traffic only
from the residential neighborhood in which it is located, does not create traffic in
excess of normal residential levels, and is not intended or designed to create
additional traffic into the neighborhood by attracting clients or customers from
beyond the neighborhood.
Examples of home occupations which might qualify for a permit include the musical
instruction of pupils in clearly defined and limited numbers which does not generate traffic
from outside of the residential neighborhood in which it is located nor in excess of normal
residential levels or operating as a news carrier from a residential home in which the only
outside traffic is delivery of papers to the site by the news agency.

Chapter 20.20 HOME OCCUPATIONSPage 4of 4
D. Home occupations which employ any individual outside of resident family where the
employee(s) work at or visit the subject property shall be prohibited in any planned
residential development or individual lot thereof. \[Ord. 3465 § 4, 2003\].
20.20.020 General regulation.
A. Sale or Display of Goods. No goods shall be sold or rendered on the premises except
instructional materials pertinent to the home occupation (e.g., music books). Display or
storage of goods outside the premises or in the window thereof is prohibited.
B. Signs. A sign is permitted in conjunction with conditional use permit approval and does
not exceed three square feet in size and shall contain only the name and address of the
residence.
C. Reasons for Denial. A home occupation conditional use permit is a special exception
to the zoning ordinance and the applicant has the burden of persuasion that he/she
comes within the stated purposes and criteria of this chapter. The following are among
common reasons for denial but are not intended to be exclusive:
1. The on-street or on-site parking of trucks or other types of equipment associated
with the home occupation;
2. The littered, unkempt and otherwise poorly maintained condition of the dwelling
site;
3. Noncompliance with the criteria of this chapter or conditions of approval or other
provisions of city ordinance; and/or
4. The proposal cannot be conditioned in order to meet the criteria and findings of
the chapter.
20.20.030 Permit.
All permits for home occupations are personal to the applicant and shall not be
transferred or otherwise assigned to any other person. The permit will automatically
expire when the applicant named on the permit application moves from the site. The
home use occupation shall also automatically expire if the permittee fails to maintain a
valid business license or the business license is suspended or revoked. The home
occupation shall not be transferred to any site other than that described on the
application form. \[Ord. 2951 § 1, 1993\].
