Mike,
I'd be interested to see what Orange Municipal Code 17.14.050(H) says.
Somehow, I suspect that they're wanting you to admit you are carrying on a
business so that they can then tell you what you can and cannot do.
My first reaction is that you don't want to go that route, but rather that
you want to call it your hobby and exercise your freedom to spend your
leisure as you wish.
Do they persecute ham radio operators, satellite dish owners, book lovers,
and plant aficionados too?
I have a friend who lives in Irvine. She's not even allowed to park her
car on the street or in front of her garage. It has to be
enclosed. However, she chose that lifestyle, but it seems excessively neat
and tidy to me.
I've got loads of stuff in the City of LA adjacent to Culver City. No one
has bothered me yet, except my ex-, but that was years ago.
Good luck, and keep us informed.
Best,
Nick
