Development Services

The provision for a home business is in recognition of the needs of many people who are engaged in small-scale business ventures which cannot be expanded to a full-scale enterprise. It is the intent of this section that full-scale commercial or professional operations, which would ordinarily be conducted in a commercial or industrial district, continue to be conducted in the appropriate zoning district and not a dwelling. These regulations apply to family day care businesses.

The Development Services Department is comprised of the following two divisions: the Planning Division and the Building Division. The Department is staffed by six full-time employees. In addition to the typical functions of planning and building, the department issues business licenses, manages urban renewal grant programs, and enforces the municipal code. We are located in the east side of City Hall at 39250 Pioneer Blvd.
