Home occupations in Rancho Cordova are restricted in the amount of customer visits and deliveries they may generate. Typical conditions limit on-site client visits to a small number per day and prohibit activity that creates parking demand or noise beyond typical residential use. Deliveries by common carrier are allowed.
Rancho Cordova Zoning Code home occupation standards require the business not to generate traffic, parking demand, or noise exceeding normal residential use. Typical permit conditions limit client or customer visits to approximately 2 to 4 per day, with appointments spaced to avoid congestion. Instructors (music teachers, tutors) generally serve one client at a time. Deliveries by USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and similar common carriers are permitted without counting as customer visits. Heavy truck deliveries and commercial vendor pickups are not allowed. Businesses expecting steady walk-in customers (retail sales, salons with multiple clients) are not permitted as home occupations and must operate from commercial zones.
Excessive customer traffic can prompt neighbor complaints, permit review, and revocation of the home occupation permit.
