Chino's Title 20 home occupation standards require that traffic, parking demand, and deliveries generated by the home business not exceed what is typical for a residence. On-site customer/client visits are restricted, on-street parking demand cannot be increased, and commercial delivery vehicles larger than a standard delivery van are prohibited from making routine deliveries to the home.
Under CMC Title 20, a home occupation must not generate vehicular or pedestrian traffic, parking demand, or deliveries that are inconsistent with a residential neighborhood. Typical conditions limit on-site customer/client appointments (e.g., one client at a time, by appointment, during defined daytime hours), prohibit on-street customer parking that exceeds residential norms, and restrict commercial deliveries to standard package/parcel service (USPS, UPS, FedEx); semi-trucks, box trucks, and frequent freight deliveries are not permitted at home occupations. Group instruction (e.g., music lessons, tutoring) is typically limited to one student/customer at a time. Daycare uses are governed separately under Cal. Health & Safety Code section 1597.30 et seq. (see Daycare row). Activities open to the general public (retail stores, walk-in clients without appointment) are not permitted home occupations and must be conducted in a commercial zone.
Excessive customer traffic, on-street parking by clients, or large-truck deliveries are violations of the Home Occupation Permit conditions and CMC Title 20. Code Enforcement can issue administrative citations and ultimately revoke the permit. Repeated customer parking violations are also citable under CMC Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic).
