In RB, AR and R-1 zoning districts where the minimum lot size is 200, 000 sq. ft. or less, add the following : a. Limitations on the size of a detached accessory structure in which a home occupation is conducted to 1 , 000 sq. ft. b . A requirement that the accessory structure as well as off-street parking be screened by means of an evergreen hedge or a combination of a stockade fence and deciduous plant materials. c. Limitations on the effects of odor and electrical • interference on adjoining properties. d . A requirement that outside storage of materials must be screened and the storage area limited to 500 sq. ft. e. Limitations on traffic and off-street parking as described in 11 above. 3.
