Home occupations in Rohnert Park must not generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residence; significant customer visits can disqualify the use.
Rohnert Park's home-occupation rules hold businesses to a residential-scale footprint, and traffic is the measuring stick. A home business can't generate vehicle trips, parking demand or deliveries beyond what an ordinary household produces. The occasional client appointment typically passes; recurring customer streams, employees parking on the street, and frequent commercial deliveries don't — and significant customer visits can disqualify the use entirely. Losing home-occupation status ends the right to run the business from the residence, so operations built on in-person customer volume are better sited in commercial space from the beginning.
