Pennsylvania Inspection Dilemma

So here I am , raring to rip off the band-aid and make myself legit... and of course I hit my first road block. I submit my in-home business application to my township and after speaking with the a very confused inspector and waiting 2 weeks for just a reply, he leaves me a message that says he will have to deny my request because " if your business should take off , we have no way of regulating you making 5000 cookies in a week with a residential oven." 5000 cookies in a week! Jesus. In order for me to proceed, despite me having two ovens in my house, I will need to get a commercial oven. It is not in the code that I need a commercial oven and it is just his personal preference. On a side note, he did tell me he passed an individual to make cakes on her outside stone old bread oven that hasn't been used in decades ( why he would tell me that, I have no clue.) So more or less, I would love any personal experience, insight or opinions. I'm leaning towards fighting this because I think it is a little ridiculous.
