Full Breakdown

070(C): no more than 2 additional vehicles, combined commercial, employee, and client, may be present at the property at any one time, on top of a single allowed commercial vehicle not exceeding 1-ton capacity. 070, including this client cap. 085.

Violations & Fines

A home occupation exceeding the 2-clients-at-a-time or 8-per-day limits is treated as a Level C administrative violation under Section 17.61.093(C), drawing the monetary sanctions listed in Section 1.09.012(A)(3). Before any suspension, revocation, or fee is imposed, the code enforcement officer must first serve a notice to correct under Section 1.09.023, per Section 17.61.095.
