Realistically how often is that enforced ? In the US most startups probably start in residential buildings which aren't zoned for businesses. Techcrunch was running out of Mike Arrington's house a long time after it was a multi-million dollar business before the neighbours complained about the violation. As long as you're not doing anything stupid or annoy your neighbours, no-one's going to care if you're running your startup out of your accommodation. I ran a fairly successful social networking app off my university network, and no-one really cared until it started impacting server performance (~300k visitors/month) at which point I moved it off to a commercial server.
