Lodi prohibits client visits to a home occupation except in live/work units, tutoring of children by appointment, and applicants with a documented mobility handicap. No employees other than full-time residents are allowed.
LMC §17.36.060(C)(9) provides that 'the home occupation shall involve no on-site clients except for: (a) Home occupations in live/work units; (b) Tutoring or instruction of children by appointment; and (c) Applicants with a demonstrated mobility handicap.' Section 17.36.060(C)(8) provides that 'a home occupation shall have no on-site employees other than full-time residents of the dwelling.' Together these provisions effectively bar walk-in retail, salon clients, repair-shop customers, and multi-employee operations in residentially zoned homes. The standard further prohibits any activity that creates noise, odor, glare, or vibration beyond normal residential character (§17.36.060(C)).
Customer-traffic and employee violations are documented by Community Improvement officers (often after a neighbor complaint about parking or traffic). Enforcement uses the LMC administrative citation procedure: warning, then citations escalating per occurrence, and revocation of the Home Occupation Permit. Parking citations may also be issued under Title 10 if customer vehicles block streets or driveways.
