Yorba Linda allows home occupations in residential zones only as a use clearly incidental to the dwelling, with no external alteration and no evidence of the business visible beyond the site. A home occupation permit and a city business license are required.
Under the Yorba Linda Zoning Code (Title 18), a home occupation must be conducted within the dwelling and be clearly incidental to residential use. There may be no external alteration of the dwelling, and the home occupation must not be apparent beyond the site except for a nameplate under Chapter 18.24. Only residents may be employed, and there must be only limited stock-in-trade. No motor or mechanical equipment beyond that normally incidental to a home is allowed, and the activity may not create radio/TV interference, noise beyond the property, smoke, odor, waste, or excess traffic. Vehicles and trailers beyond ordinary residential use may not be kept on site. A city business license is also required before operating.
Business apparent beyond the site; non-resident employees; external dwelling alteration; excess traffic, noise, or stock; operating without a home occupation permit or business license.
