Home occupations in unincorporated San Diego County must not generate traffic or parking demand inconsistent with residential use. The business must not be detrimental to the neighborhood. No specific visitor caps are codified, but excessive traffic may trigger enforcement.
The County Zoning Ordinance requires home occupations to be consistent with permitted residential uses and not detrimental to the residential neighborhood. While no specific numeric limit on daily customer visits is codified, traffic patterns that are clearly inconsistent with residential use — such as a steady stream of clients, delivery trucks, or vehicles parked along the street — may trigger code compliance investigation. Home businesses should minimize customer visits and consider scheduling appointments to avoid concentrated traffic. Employee traffic is also a concern — most home occupation regulations expect the business to be operated by residents of the dwelling.
Home businesses generating excessive traffic may be cited for non-compliance with home occupation requirements. Code Compliance may require the business to cease or relocate.
