Becker Township has three classifications of businesses that are allowed on properties where the principal use is residential.
In-Home Business: Any business which is clearly incidental to the principal use of the home as a single-family dwelling unit, is conducted within the dwelling, is conducted by a resident occupant, and does not change the character of the principal use.
Site-Based Business: Any occupation which is clearly incidental to the principal use of the lot as a single-family dwelling unit, is conducted in a building other than the dwelling or off-site (with the site as a staging area only), is conducted by a resident occupant, and does not change the character of the principal use.
On-Site Business: Any occupation which is clearly incidental to the principal use of the lot as a single-family dwelling unit, is conducted in a building other than the dwelling and outdoors on parcels 2.5 acres or larger in size, is conducted by a resident occupant, and does not change the character of the principal use.
