San Bernardino County Development Code Chapter 84.07 limits customer, client, or student visits to a home occupation so that traffic and parking remain typical of a single-family residence in its zone.
The home occupation rules in Development Code Chapter 84.07 require that any traffic generated by a home-based business be indistinguishable from normal residential traffic. Commonly this is interpreted as no more than one client, customer, or student on the premises at a time, and no more than a handful of visits per day, scheduled to avoid congestion on residential streets. Businesses that by nature draw walk-in customers, queued deliveries, group classes, or client parking on the street are generally inconsistent with home occupation status and must relocate to properly zoned commercial space. In rural desert areas served by unpaved roads such as parts of Lucerne Valley, Phelan, Pinon Hills, and Newberry Springs, even a small amount of extra traffic can create dust nuisance complaints. Mountain resort communities have narrow roads and limited on-street parking, making client traffic especially sensitive in Big Bear City, Sugarloaf, and Crestline. Deliveries by standard package carriers a few times per day are considered normal residential activity.
Excessive customer traffic that changes the residential character of the property is a Chapter 84.07 violation. Enforcement ranges from a warning notice to daily administrative citations and orders to cease the business activity.
