Home occupations in Orange must not generate customer traffic or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residential neighborhood under OMC Title 17 home occupation provisions. Retail sales with customers visiting the home are generally prohibited.
Under OMC Title 17 home occupation standards, home-based businesses must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the property. Customer or client visits must be minimized and must not increase traffic, parking demand, or noise beyond normal residential levels. Direct retail sales with customers visiting the home are generally prohibited. Deliveries by commercial vehicles must be limited to what is typical for residential use. The business may not have any external evidence of its existence visible from the street, including increased vehicle traffic or parking congestion. Businesses generating significant customer traffic should operate from commercially zoned locations. A city business license is required for all home occupations.
Home businesses exceeding customer traffic limits may have their business license revoked and face code enforcement action for non-compliance with residential zoning.
