Gilbert, AZ Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

3 regulates every Home Occupation in Gilbert, and subsection F sets the only limit on customer and delivery traffic: the use shall not generate vehicular or truck traffic in greater volume than that normally expected in the residential district in which the home occupation is located. There's no numeric cap on visits per day, the standard is comparative, measured against what a typical house on that street would generate. Subsection G ties parking to the same idea: any parking for the Home Occupation use shall be on site and comply with the requirements of Circulation, Parking and Loading, meaning clients can't be directed to park on the street or in a neighbor's driveway to work around the traffic standard.

The rule sits alongside Subsection B, which caps home occupation staffing at one full-time-equivalent employee beyond family members living in the home and bars using the property as a headquarters for the assembly of employees for instruction or other purposes, including dispatch to other locations, another way the code keeps a home business from generating commercial-scale vehicle activity. Subsection E adds a parallel cap on noise, odors, vibration, glare, dust, fumes and electrical interference, all measured against normal residential-neighborhood levels, so a business generating heavy client traffic is likely to run into more than one standard at once.
