Redding Municipal Code §18.43.110 allows home occupations in any residential zone if the business is incidental to the residential use, conducted entirely indoors, and produces no exterior evidence. A city business license and signed home occupation affidavit are required.
RMC §18.43.110 permits home occupations in residential districts when secondary to the residential use. The activity must be conducted entirely within the dwelling or a fully enclosed accessory structure and must not change the residential character of the property. No outdoor display, storage, or other exterior evidence is allowed. Cottage food operations under Cal. Health & Safety Code §113758 are expressly allowed subject to state law. Applicants must sign a home occupation affidavit attesting compliance before the City Clerk issues a business license. City staff may conduct reasonable inspections.
Operating without a business license, or with prohibited exterior evidence (outdoor storage, oversized signs, customer-parking spillover), is a Chapter 18.43 violation enforced by Redding Code Enforcement with administrative citations.
