§ 33-1119. Arts and crafts shows.

Escondido Zoning Code · 2026-05 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Escondido

Arts and crafts shows (as defined in section 33-8 of Article 1 of this chapter) shall conform to all standards for the zone in which they are held, and may be held only upon issuance of an administrative permit issued by the director of community development pursuant to the criteria described in this section. No person shall advertise, announce, conduct, operate or sponsor an arts and crafts show within a residentially zoned neighborhood in conflict with the requirements of this section. Proposals which, in the opinion of the director of community development, do not readily conform to the criteria for administratively approving an arts and crafts show, will be required to obtain approval of a minor conditional use permit issued by the planning commission at a noticed public hearing.

  • (a) Application procedures. An administrative permit for an arts and crafts show may be issued in accordance with the following procedure:

    • (1) Application. An application for an arts and crafts show permit shall be made to the planning division 60 days prior to advertising for an arts and crafts show. No advertisement of the event shall be conducted until final approval for the event is granted by the City of Escondido. Advertisement of the event prior to city approval shall be grounds for denial of the application. Application shall include the following:

      • (A) Processing fee (as adopted by council resolution);

      • (B) Completed application form. The applicant must be the owner and/or resident of the property. If the resident is not the property owner, the property owner's written consent is required;

      • (C) Graphic depiction of the premises to be used for the arts and crafts show (site plan and floor plan);

      • (D) Map of the surrounding neighborhood;

      • (E) Written description of where patrons of the event are expected to park and/or be shuttled;

      • (F) Any other information which is necessary for a complete review of the application.

The application and fee is a one-time process and fee, provided that the scope and nature of the operation does not change or expand over time (see subsection (a)(4)).

  • (2) Notice of intended decision. Not less than 15 days prior to the date on which the decision will be made on the application, the director of community development shall give notice of the proposed use by mail or delivery to all owners shown on the last equalized assessment roll as owning real property within a 500 foot radius of the exterior boundaries of the residence which is the proposed location for the arts and crafts show. In addition, if the proposed show is within a cul-de-sac street, the residents of the entire cul-de-sac shall receive notice.

  • (3) Appeal. The applicant or other affected person may appeal the administrative decision

of the director of community development to the planning commission which will review the case at a noticed public hearing in accordance with the provision of section 33-1303 of Article 61 of this chapter. The cost of the appeal, if any, shall be borne by the appellant.

  • (4) Approval of show and subsequent events. Once final approval of the arts and crafts show has been given, the city will send the applicant a letter of approval. The applicant will be required to post the letter of approval in a visible location for display to any city official which may inspect the property during the event.

Prior to conducting subsequent shows the applicant will be required to notify the planning division in writing 60 days prior to advertising of the event. No new application form or fee will be required. If the director of community development determines that significant modifications are proposed, a new application, fee, and approval process will be required. Problems associated with an operation (i.e., parking, nuisance, violation of conditions of approval) will be considered in the approval of future events.

  • (5) Exemptions. Schools and churches may be exempt from obtaining an arts and crafts show permit if they can demonstrate all on-site parking will remain available to operators and patrons of the show. No on-site parking may be displaced by exhibits or other operations related to the arts and crafts show.

  • (6) Business license required. A temporary business license shall be required to be obtained from the City of Escondido prior to operation of the arts and crafts show. A minimal fee (approximately $5), and proof of an arts and crafts show permit will be required in order to obtain the business license for operation of an arts and crafts show event. Nonprofit organizations are exempt from this requirement upon demonstration of proof of their non-profit status.

  • (b) Approval criteria/findings. The director of community development shall approve an arts and crafts permit based upon the following findings:

    • (1) Building and fire codes. All applicable building and fire codes must be met in order to conduct an arts and crafts show from a residential property. The applicant must have at least two fire extinguishers available at all times, and shall insure that all exit areas remain open and unobstructed during the operating hours of the show. The applicant shall agree to allow inspection by the fire department and/or building department at any time during the event.

    • (2) Hours when permitted—Length of sale—Frequency.

      • (A) No person shall conduct or operate, or permit the conduct or operation, of any arts and crafts show except between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

      • (B) No arts and crafts show shall be conducted or operated on any one site for a period longer than three consecutive days.

      • (C) No more than three arts and crafts shows may be conducted in any calendar year at any individual site or location. For purpose of this section, "site" or "location" means any single-family residence, or any other single premises within a residential zone of the City of Escondido.
