Santa Cruz IZO home-occupation standards limit customer foot/vehicle traffic so the business remains incidental to residential use and does not generate parking demand exceeding the residence.
Vehicle deliveries, customer visits, and on-site service must not change the residential character of the property. Excessive traffic, on-street parking, or noise generated by the business may be cited as a public nuisance under Ch. 9.36 (noise) and Ch. 6.28 (vehicle storage). Pickup/delivery times may be restricted by general noise curfew under §9.36.010.
Code enforcement orders, business license revocation, and infractions under Ch. 4.04.
