Hillsborough council asks subcommittee to refine rules for home‑based businesses
Summary
After a staff report, the council asked its Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Commercial Activity Regulations to study whether certain business types should be prohibited, whether client visits to residences should be allowed, and appropriate gross‑receipt thresholds.
The Hillsborough City Council on March 9 discussed proposed changes to the town’s home‑based business regulations and referred several specific questions to its Ad Hoc Subcommittee on Commercial Activity Regulations.
Assistant City Attorney Mark Hudak and City Clerk Lisa Natusch presented options and legal context for revising rules governing businesses operating from residences. Councilmembers asked the subcommittee to further consider: whether certain classifications of businesses should be prohibited in town; whether businesses may receive customers or clients at private residences; and what minimum or maximum gross‑receipt thresholds are appropriate.
There were no public commenters on this item. The council’s direction was to return with recommendations from the subcommittee that address those three focal points before bringing any ordinance or code changes back to the full council.
