Under CVMC section 19.14.490, home occupations must not alter the exterior appearance of the dwelling or display any exterior evidence of the business. This includes a complete prohibition on business signs, whether attached to the structure, placed in windows visible from the street, or placed in the yard. No exterior advertising of any kind is permitted. The residential character of the property must be maintained. This restriction helps prevent conflicts with neighbors and preserves the residential nature of the neighborhood. Commercial vehicles with business signage may park at the residence but are subject to the city's commercial vehicle parking restrictions in residential areas under CVMC 10.52.090. Interior signage not visible from outside is not regulated.
Displaying business signage at a home occupation is a zoning violation subject to code enforcement action. The sign must be removed and continued violation may result in revocation of the home occupation permit.
