When can a residential property be considered non-compliant due to business activities?

A residential property can be considered non-compliant due to business activities if non-incidental business is present on the property or nearby. This is because non-incidental business activities can significantly impact the character of a residential area, potentially leading to increased traffic, noise, or other disturbances that are not typical of a residential setting.

In this context, "non-incidental" refers to business operations that are not minor or occasional, but rather regular and substantial enough to disrupt the residential nature of the property. For example, a home-based business that generates significant customer traffic or commercial activity can lead the property to be viewed as non-compliant with zoning laws or neighborhood regulations.

The other choices, while they may involve business activities, do not directly relate to the compliance status of a property in the same way. Sales from the home may be incidental and not necessarily disrupt the residential nature. A detached garage does not indicate business activities on its own, and having a home office does not automatically imply non-compliance unless it involves substantial business operations.
