Port Hueneme limits customer and client visits to home-based businesses to maintain residential neighborhood character. Excessive traffic, parking congestion, and deliveries from a home business violate the home occupation permit conditions.
PHMC home occupation provisions restrict the volume of customer and client traffic to levels consistent with residential use. Typically, only a small number of clients per day are permitted (often limited to one at a time). Commercial deliveries beyond normal residential levels are restricted. No customer parking may be required beyond what is normally available to the residence. Businesses generating significant foot or vehicle traffic should consider a commercial location. The City monitors home occupations through complaints from neighbors.
Excessive traffic complaints may trigger Code Compliance investigation and home occupation permit review. Permits can be revoked for persistent traffic and parking impacts on the neighborhood.
