Home occupations in Lompoc are permitted as an accessory use under zoning with a home-occupation permit/business license, subject to conditions keeping the business subordinate to the residence.
Lompoc treats home businesses as an accessory use — allowed in residential zones, but only with a home-occupation permit or business license, and only while the business stays clearly secondary to living in the house. Expect conditions limiting the floor area devoted to the business, the number of employees, and impacts like traffic, noise or outside storage that would change the residential character of the street. Community Development handles the permits. If the operation outgrows those limits, it belongs in a commercial zone rather than a home.
