Yes, Lynwood requires a home occupation permit. Under LMC 25-95-3 and 25-95-4, applicants file with the planning department and pay a one-time fee set by city council resolution. The permit is valid for the life of the home occupation, and an annual business license through the city is also required.
LMC 25-95-3 requires a home occupation permit, established by a one-time application and fee set by city council resolution, to operate in a single-family or multi-family neighborhood. Under LMC 25-95-4, the application goes to the planning department; the development services director reviews whether the use is an authorized home occupation in the zone and meets code requirements, then issues or denies the permit (denial appealable to the planning commission and city council). Approval lasts for the lifetime of the home occupation unless suspended or revoked, with only annual business-license renewal needed to continue. LMC 25-95-5(A) requires all home occupations to obtain and annually renew a Lynwood business license.
Operating without the required home occupation permit or business license, or violating Article 95 standards, is an infraction under LMC 25-95-8, fined up to $100 per offense. The permit may also be revoked after a planning commission hearing (25-95-7).
