Provides that an association may not prohibit a lot owner from operating a home-based business within his personal residence if the operation of the home-based business is in compliance with all applicable state laws and local ordinances. Under current law, operation of a home-based business is prohibited only to the extent that the declaration is silent on the operation of home-based businesses. The association continues to be authorized to establish (i) reasonable restrictions as to the time, place, and manner of the operation of a home-based business and (ii) reasonable restrictions as to the size, place, duration, and manner of the placement or display of any signs on the owner's lot related to such home-based business.
