Sahuarita home occupations limit client visits to about 8 per day with 2 on-site at once. Cottage food sales under ARS 36-1761 (75,000 dollars) have delivery exemptions.
Sahuarita home occupation regulations require that customer traffic remain minimal and consistent with residential neighborhood patterns. The Land Development Code typically limits client visits to no more than 8 per day, with no more than 2 clients on the premises at any time. Deliveries from commercial freight vehicles are limited to standard residential delivery frequency (UPS, FedEx, USPS). Large truck deliveries or frequent commercial vehicle traffic are grounds for home occupation revocation. On-street parking impacts from customer visits are monitored through the complaint-driven code enforcement system. Businesses generating consistent traffic above residential norms, such as high-volume retail or personal training studios, may be directed to obtain commercial space. Cottage food operations under ARS 36-1761 are exempt from customer traffic limits when sales occur at farmers markets, online, or by delivery rather than at the home. Ride-share and delivery app drivers operating from home are not considered home occupations generating customer traffic. Rancho Sahuarita HOA may enforce additional parking and traffic restrictions through CC&Rs.
Excessive traffic complaint sustained: warning letter, then 100 to 300 dollar fine. Continued violations: home occupation permit revocation. Operating commercial-level traffic without commercial zoning: cease and desist order.
