Prescott Valley, AZ Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Town Code § 13-04-040(A) permits a home occupation as an accessory use to any legal dwelling, and the use table in § 13-04-010 marks Home occupation P2 in all six residential zones (RU, RL, RM, MH, MF and RS), where note 2 requires compliance with § 13-04-040. The traffic controls sit in paragraphs 11, 12, 13 and 16. Customers or clients are allowed on the premises only during the hours of 7 a.m. through 9 p.m. No more than five clients per day are allowed, and only one client at a time can be on the premises.

Both limits exempt child day care and community residences. Goods and materials move by no more than one commercial vehicle, limited to a passenger car, van, or pickup truck not to exceed a rating of one ton, and paragraph 15 bars tractor trailers, semi-trucks and heavy equipment such as contractors or landscapers equipment. Any parking the business generates must be met off the street but not in a required front yard, and the required residential off-street parking must be maintained. Other paragraphs cut traffic at the source: only persons residing in the dwelling can be employed, with exceptions for dispatch headquarters and remote workers who do not come to the site, no on-site sales or public display of items for sale are permitted, and the business cannot create noise, smoke, fumes, dust or odors.

Separately, § 13-10-020(F)(6) treats parking a commercial vehicle with a rated capacity of more than one ton on a residential lot as a prohibited commercial use. Every home occupation must also comply with the business registration requirements of Article 8-02.
