In the R-1 Residential District, such home occupation may be permitted under a special use permit to be issued by the Board of Aldermen upon application of the property owner. Such special use permit shall be granted only after a public hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission with a fifteen-day notice similar to that required for amendment of the zoning ordinance, and upon substantial evidence presented to the Board of Aldermen showing that the home occupation:
a. 
Will not substantially change the character of the neighborhood, nor combined with other changes create an excessive number of business or home occupations within the R-1 Residential District [excessive meaning more than ten percent (10%) of the residences].
b. 
That it will not increase traffic congestion.
c. 
It will not diminish or effect the property values of homes within a 185-foot radius of the affected or requesting property.

Any home occupation (in either the R-2 or the R-1 zone) which has grown to the point that traffic congestion is created or that the dwelling becomes secondary to the business must be discontinued and moved to the Commercial District within thirty (30) days after being notified to do so by the Board of Aldermen, or within the same thirty (30) days, the property owner must request a hearing before the Board of Aldermen. Upon a showing that the business as conducted has substantially changed the character of the neighborhood, has increased traffic congestion or has diminished or effected property values of homes within one hundred eighty-five (185) feet of the affected or requesting property, the home occupation must be discontinued within thirty (30) days after said hearing.
3. 
Any special use permit granted by the Board of Aldermen within an R-1 District or any accessory use in an R-2 District shall be personal in character and shall expire with the transfer of the property by any means to another person.
