Under San Diego County Zoning Ordinance Section 6156, a home occupation in Bostonia may have no exterior evidence, and no signs identifying or advertising the business except those allowed by Section 6252(d). Business signage on the home is effectively prohibited.
Because Bostonia is unincorporated, the County Zoning Ordinance controls home-business signage. Section 6156 requires that there be no exterior evidence of the home occupation and no signs identifying or advertising it beyond what Section 6252(d) permits for a residence. In practice this means a home business cannot post commercial signage, illuminated signs, or advertising visible from the street. The goal is to preserve the residential appearance of the neighborhood. Any permanent sign generally requires review under the County sign regulations.
Posting a prohibited home-business sign is a zoning violation subject to County code-enforcement notices, removal orders, and potential fines.
