Camarillo's Home Occupation Permit standards under CMC Title 19 prohibit a home-based business from generating customer or employee traffic that would alter the residential character of the property. On-site customer visits, deliveries beyond normal residential mail/parcel service, and non-resident employees are not permitted.
The Home Occupation Permit issued by the Department of Community Development conditions every home business on minimal external impact: no customers may visit the premises for retail or service transactions, no employees other than residents of the dwelling may work on-site, and no commercial vehicles or unusual delivery activity is allowed. The home occupation must be conducted entirely inside the dwelling (no garage retail), must not create vehicle congestion in the neighborhood, and must not generate noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or odor detectable beyond the property line.
Operating a home business that draws customers or employees on-site is enforced as a zoning violation under CMC Title 19. The City will normally issue a notice to abate first; continued operation can result in administrative citations, revocation of the Home Occupation Permit, and revocation of the business tax certificate.
