Montebello prohibits on-site signs advertising a home occupation under MMC Section 17.59.050, and Chapter 17.62 allows no home-business signs in residential zones. Only limited real estate and address signs are permitted at homes.
MMC Section 17.59.050 states that on-site signs advertising a home occupation are not permitted, preserving the residential character of the property. The city sign code, MMC Chapter 17.62, addresses signs in residential zones at Section 17.62.080 and provides no allowance for home-occupation or business signs. In residential (R) zones the code permits only limited signage: one non-illuminated sign up to 12 square feet pertaining to the sale or lease of the building, model-home advertising during sales, and temporary architect or builder signs during active construction. In R-3 and R-4 zones one wall sign up to 20 square feet is allowed for the name and street address. Chapter 17.62 also generally prohibits animated, portable, roof, inflatable, and new off-premises signs.
Posting a home-business sign at a residence violates MMC Section 17.59.050 and Chapter 17.62 and can trigger permit revocation under Section 17.59.060. Sign violations are abated under the Montebello Municipal Code, which may require removal and impose fines.
