Home occupations in unincorporated Butte County must not generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residence; significant customer visits can disqualify the use.
Butte County's home-occupation rules for the unincorporated areas rest on a single test: the neighborhood shouldn't be able to tell. County zoning caps a home business at the traffic, parking demand and deliveries normal for a residence — no more. Regular customer visits are the most common way home businesses fail that test, and significant traffic can disqualify the use altogether, taking the county's permission with it. Employees parking on the street and frequent commercial deliveries count the same way. If clients need to come to you, ask county planning what's allowed before you commit.
