Mission, TX Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Mission zoning treats a home occupation as a conditional use, requiring a conditional use permit under Appendix A, Zoning before a resident can see clients or customers at home. The activity must stay clearly secondary to the residential use, can't require more than four parking spaces, and can't create frequent or heavy traffic greater than 10 percent of the average hourly load on the street. Only one non-family employee is allowed on-site, there's no outside storage, and no exterior sign of commercial use beyond a small non-illuminated sign. The planning and zoning commission can recommend the city council waive the traffic or parking limits only with written support from 90 percent of property owners within 200 feet.
