Home occupations in Burbank must not generate customer traffic to the residence. Employees cannot report to the home location. The intent is to preserve residential neighborhood character.
Under BMC Section 10-1-671, no home occupation may be conducted that constitutes or causes objectionable use of residential property due to potential noise, glare, dust, vibration, increased pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or any other condition that interferes with the general welfare of the surrounding residential area. The business must be clearly incidental to the residential use. While specific customer visit limits are not enumerated, the standard is whether the activity remains compatible with residential neighborhood character. Employees may not physically work from the home, which also limits traffic generation.
Excessive traffic from a home business triggers Code Enforcement investigation and potential permit denial or revocation.
