Reedley, CA Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Under Reedley Municipal Code Chapter 10.84 and the legacy provision at Section 10-13-1, home occupations must preserve the residential character of the neighborhood, which includes limiting traffic generated by the business. Mail order businesses are specifically permitted when all sales are conducted by written order with no on-site customer visits. Consultive professional services are allowed but must render services without dispensing goods or products, limiting the volume of foot traffic. Businesses that would generate significant customer or delivery traffic beyond what is normal for a residential street are generally prohibited or subject to additional conditions. The home occupation permit process includes notification of adjacent property owners, and any neighbor objections about traffic or parking trigger the more rigorous conditional use permit process. Parking for any permitted customer visits must be accommodated on-site or in a manner that does not impact neighboring properties or public streets beyond normal residential levels.
