San Leandro permits home occupations with a Home Occupation Permit and business license. Use must remain incidental to the residence and generate no nuisance.
San Leandro Zoning Code allows home occupations in residential zones subject to a Home Occupation Permit and city business license. The business must be clearly incidental to residential use, occupy no more than about 25 percent of the dwelling, have no outdoor storage or display, and create no noise, odor, vibration, or traffic beyond typical residential levels. Only residents of the dwelling may work there; no non-resident employees on site. Prohibited uses commonly include auto repair, manufacturing, and retail with walk-in sales.
