Jurupa Valley permits home occupations in the R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A, R-3A, A-1, A-2, R-A, R-R, R-R-O, W-2, R-D, R-T (mobile home subdivisions only), R-T-R, and PUD zone districts, but the business must stay entirely inside the dwelling and remain secondary to residential use. Some residential zones, such as R-4, do not currently allow home occupations at all.
Under Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Section 9.10.630 and the City's published Home Occupation standards, the home must be in a zone district that allows home occupations: R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A, R-3A, A-1, A-2, R-A, R-R, R-R-O, W-2, R-D, R-T (only in mobile home subdivisions), R-T-R, and PUD. The home office must be conducted entirely within the primary dwelling; no items or equipment related to the business may be stored outside the home or in an accessory structure such as a garage; the residential character of the exterior and interior of the property cannot be changed; and no vehicles or trailers except those normally incidental to residential use may be kept on site. City staff reports acknowledge that the current zoning is inconsistent - for example, a single-family home is permitted in the R-4 (Planned Residential) zone, but a home occupation is not. Pending Zoning Code Amendment No. 24004 would allow home occupations, with a permit, in all zones that allow single-family and multi-family dwellings, including the R-4, A-P, and A-D zones.
Operating a home occupation in a zone where it is not permitted, storing business equipment outdoors or in a garage, or altering the residential character of the property violates Title 9 of the Jurupa Valley Municipal Code and is subject to City code enforcement action.
