Truckee allows home occupations in residential zones subject to standards in Development Code Chapter 18.58. Operations must remain incidental to the residential use, generate no offensive impacts, and may not employ more than one non-resident.
Truckee permits home occupations under standards in DC Chapter 18.58, which require that the business be incidental to and compatible with the residential character of the area. Typical limitations include no exterior evidence of the business (no signage beyond a small permit-exempt sign), no on-street customer parking, no employees beyond one non-resident, limits on customer traffic, and prohibition of any activity that creates noise, odor, dust, vibration, or hazards beyond normal residential activity. Cottage food operations are also regulated under California Health & Safety Code Section 113758 (CHFOA).
Operating a home occupation outside the standards is a Development Code violation enforced through administrative citations and possible cease-and-desist orders.
