More to the point: any and all "small business" is encouraged, provided that it can afford the "Shipman Tax" in addition to any required County/State permits/inspections.
A sufficiently small business simply can't justify the additional expense of leasing additional property in which to operate, nor can that small business owner likely afford the time to commute back and forth to the "legal" premises.
Most subdivisions are zoned Agricultural, which means that a home-based small business is technically required to get a Special Use Permit (on its fully-up-to-code and finaled building, of course), which is an expensive and time-consuming process in which County will point to the PCDP as justification for denial.
Then we all wonder why the local economy isn't "more robust"...
