Home occupations in unincorporated Placer County must not generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residence; significant customer visits can disqualify the use.
Placer County lets you run a business from home in the unincorporated areas, but the deal is that the neighborhood shouldn't notice. County zoning caps a home occupation at whatever traffic, parking and deliveries a normal residence would generate. A steady stream of customers pulling up to the curb, employees parking on the street, or frequent commercial deliveries can all push you over the line — and the county can pull your home-occupation status if that happens. If your business model depends on clients visiting, talk to county planning first about what's actually allowed.
