Bostonia is unincorporated San Diego County, so home businesses are governed by the County Zoning Ordinance Section 6156 home-occupation rules. A home occupation must be conducted entirely within a dwelling or attached garage and must not change the property's residential character.
Under San Diego County Zoning Ordinance Section 6156, a home occupation is a permitted accessory use in residential zones subject to conditions: it must be conducted entirely within the dwelling or an attached garage, must not change the principal character or use of the dwelling, produce no exterior evidence, and limit indoor storage of goods to 125 cubic feet in no more than one room and/or the attached garage. Only residents plus no more than one non-resident employee may work there. These rules keep neighborhoods residential while allowing low-impact home businesses.
Operating a home business that violates Section 6156 (e.g., outside employees, exterior evidence, on-site sales) can prompt County code-enforcement notices, abatement, and fines.
