Garden Grove home occupation permits restrict customer and client traffic. The business must not generate traffic beyond what is normal for the residential neighborhood. Items for sale may only be those items used at the residence.
Under GGMC Title 9 home occupation provisions, home businesses may not generate pedestrian or vehicular traffic beyond that which is normal for the residential neighborhood where the business is located. Items for sale may only be those items used at the residence, prohibiting retail operations. No display of merchandise or inventory is allowed. The home occupation must not create excessive noise, light, odors, dust, or vibrations detectable from outside the residence. Commercial deliveries should be limited to what is typical for residential use. Any evidence that a home occupation is generating excessive traffic, parking issues, or neighborhood complaints may result in review and revocation of the home occupation permit by the hearing body.
Home businesses generating excessive traffic may have their permits revoked by the hearing body based on substantial evidence of violation. Code Enforcement investigates complaints about commercial activity in residential areas.
