Summary
Eastvale caps a home-based business at one client visit an hour and eight per day, only between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., under Municipal Code Section 120.04.040(e)(12), no matter how many separate home occupations operate out of the same house.
(12)Visitors and customers. Visitors and customers shall not exceed those normally and reasonably occurring for a residence, including not more than one business visitor an hour and eight per day, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (regardless of how many businesses operate out of the home).
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 16 Update 1).
Full Breakdown
' The rule applies per residence, not per business, so the code specifies it counts 'regardless of how many businesses operate out of the home,' closing off a workaround where a household might run two or three registered home occupations to multiply the visitor allowance. The same subsection pairs the visitor cap with a related parking limit in (e)(8): the use cannot require parking more than two additional vehicles at the home at any one time, and no vehicle used for the business may exceed two axles or 20 feet in length.
Deliveries are separately capped under (e)(13) at no more than one per week, and commercial delivery vehicles are barred except for standard FedEx, UPS or USPS-type pickups. Every home occupation must first obtain a zoning clearance under subsection (c) and register the business under subsection (d) before opening, and the community development director can revoke that clearance if the visitor or parking limits are exceeded, since subsection (b) ties approval to the use not changing the residential character of the neighborhood.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the one-visitor-an-hour or eight-per-day limit, or receiving customers outside the 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. window, violates Section 120.04.040(e)(12) and can lead to revocation of the home occupation's zoning clearance by the community development director, plus the general Municipal Code penalties in Section 1.01.200: infraction fines up to $100, $200 and $500 for repeat violations within a year, or a misdemeanor on a fourth offense.
