Under Jurupa Valley's current home occupation rules, no customers or clientele may visit the residence at all - home businesses are limited to office-style activity using phone, internet, and mail. A pending ordinance would relax this to allow visits and deliveries that do not exceed what normally occurs for a residence.
City staff reports describe the operative standard in Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.10.630: a home occupation would typically involve using office equipment, phone, internet, and mail, and the section stipulates that no customers or clientele may visit the residence. Only vehicles typically used for personal use may be parked or stored on site, which the City interprets as barring commercial vehicles from being part of the home occupation. Staff characterized the provision, adopted from the Riverside County zoning code at the City's 2011 incorporation, as outdated, and pending Zoning Code Amendment No. 24004 (Section 9.240.570(J)(6)) would instead provide that visitors, customers, or deliveries to the dwelling unit shall not exceed that which normally and reasonably occurs for a residence. The Planning Commission also discussed objective caps such as maximum client visits per day, with examples like tutoring, music lessons, therapy, and personal services limited to one client at a time. The amendment was awaiting final City Council action as of early 2026.
Receiving customers or clientele at a residence operating under the current home occupation rules violates Section 9.10.630 and can trigger City code enforcement, including loss of the home occupation approval tied to the business registration.
