Boulder City home occupations must not generate customer or client traffic beyond normal residential levels. On-site visits by customers are tightly limited or prohibited to preserve neighborhood character.
Boulder City Title 11 home occupation standards restrict the volume of vehicle and pedestrian traffic a home-based business may generate. Most home occupations are expected to produce no more than typical residential traffic. In-person customer or client visits at the residence are heavily limited, and uses that rely on steady customer traffic (such as retail sales, salons, or instruction with multiple students on-site) typically require a commercial zone rather than a home occupation. Deliveries should be consistent with normal residential patterns. These rules work alongside Boulder City's controlled growth ordinance to protect residential quality of life.
