Escondido home occupations must comply with noise standards and maintain residential character. Any noise from the business must meet Article 12 limits. No hazardous material storage beyond household amounts.
EMC Article 44 requires that home occupation noise be consistent with Article 12 (Noise Abatement and Control) of Chapter 17. Minor home occupations must have no external indication of commercial activity, which implicitly limits customer traffic. Major home occupations allow limited external presence including up to two non-resident employees commuting to the site, but must maintain residential character. No production, generation, or storage of hazardous substances or materials beyond amounts commonly used for a single-family dwelling is permitted. All business licenses for home occupations are subject to immediate cancellation if zoning regulations are amended to prohibit such use. Cottage food operations and MEHKO follow separate California Homemade Food Act regulations.
Excessive traffic/noise: business license revocation. Immediate cancellation if zoning prohibits use.
