Home occupations are permitted in every Menifee residential zone, but home-based businesses with outdoor activity or visiting employees are allowed only in agricultural and rural residential zones on lots of at least one acre.
Table 9.130.030-1 permits home occupations in all standard residential zones but lists home-based businesses as not permitted there; Table 9.125.030-1 permits both in the agricultural and rural residential zones. Section 9.255.040 caps business use at 25 percent of the property's total floor area, allows up to two home occupations per residence and one home-based business per property, and requires a minimum one-acre lot for home-based businesses. Section 9.255.060 prohibits certain uses citywide as home businesses, including adult entertainment, vehicle repair, medical, dental and veterinary clinics, gyms and dance studios, tattoo and piercing services, retail sales from the site, and ammunition reloading.
Operating a home-based business in a standard residential zone or running a prohibited use can bring administrative citations and permit suspension or revocation under Development Code Chapter 9.20 and Municipal Code Chapter 1.03.
