Petaluma IZO §7.050 limits home-occupation traffic such that pedestrian, automobile, or truck traffic and parking in residential neighborhoods do not exceed that normally associated with residential use, with no more than two non-occupant vehicles present on the street at any given time.
Customer visits by appointment are generally allowed within these limits. Businesses involving regular customer foot traffic (e.g., retail or salons with walk-ins) generally do not qualify as home occupations and need a commercial location.
Permit revocation; citation under Ch. 1.14 if operation continues.
