Home occupations in Chula Vista must be incidental and secondary to the residential use under CVMC 19.14.490. Customer visits are permitted but must not generate traffic, parking, or noise beyond what is normal for the residential neighborhood.
Under CVMC section 19.14.490, home occupations must not generate traffic, parking demand, or noise that exceeds what is normal for the residential neighborhood. The business must be clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the dwelling as a residence. No more than one client or customer vehicle should be present at any one time unless the home occupation permit specifies otherwise. Business deliveries must be limited to those typical of residential deliveries (standard parcel services). The home occupation may not use more than 25% of the total floor area of the dwelling. No exterior storage of materials, equipment, or products is permitted. The residential character of the property must be maintained — no exterior alterations to the dwelling that indicate a business use are allowed. Heavy vehicle traffic, frequent deliveries by commercial trucks, or excessive parking demand may result in permit revocation.
Excessive customer traffic that disturbs the residential character of the neighborhood may result in complaints to code enforcement. The home occupation permit may be suspended or revoked. Continued violations are subject to fines under CVMC general penalty provisions.
