Thanks Fenix. Mostly I’m kind of the one who needs information because my life is trying to build houses and start businesses, so I have a lot of questions. So far this forum has been great at answering them, to which I am very grateful.

Yes, that’s important. Another issue could be city rules against impervious surface (concrete) that exist in Poway because of the disruption in drainage and environmental impacts. If your carport or detached patio has concrete under it (or a solid roof for rainwater collection that I wanted to...

I haven’t decided between the personal office option or the business opening option. I’m wondering if I can buy the land and decide later. At what point do I need to make that decision? Can I transfer a commercial property from myself to a business that I own? How difficult is that?

I'm wondering if trying to build a commercial building would be harder than a residential building. Wouldn't the city scrutinize the type of business that you're trying to start with the commercial development/building, and the permitting process have to go through the city council so the "no...

I think greenhouses don't require a building permit, because sheds typically don't, but I want to be sure. Also, I'm wondering if there are any restrictions for gardens that I should be aware of. I know that areas with high fire zones restrict planting near buildings, but are there other...

Definitely interesting. I like the fact that you may be able to build a detached carport without a building permit. That could be really helpful for my situation. I will need to do more due diligence and check the building codes for my local area, but I really like this idea.

Recently I noticed a piece of commercial land for sale in my area and I am thinking of buying it to build an office/workshop. Do I need to register myself as a business or obtain a business license to buy the land, or can I buy it under my own name?

I'm not sure why there is a reason to worry in this case - I should be allowed to shoot a film on my own private property without facing legal repercussions. That should also be true of film crews or partners that I hire on my own private property. However, the owner of the restaurant may be...

I don't think anyone is planning to walk or bike from Vegas to California any time soon, as that distance is just too long, and if so, why would they need a tunnel? It's actually healthier, up to a point, to ride or walk in the sunlight, as it's better for your brain.

After a spate of gun violence in New Mexico that resulted in the deaths of 3 children (13-year-old, 5-year-old, and an 11-year-old), New Mexico governor Lujan Grisham wrote an executive order to suspend concealed and open carry rights in the county where the city of Albuquerque is located...

That link you gave me was extremely helpful. Thank you! :) I've made note of the fictitious business name information. I definitely will need to file that permit, and possibly a seller's one. Eventually I will want to make it an S-corp, but I don't think I can do that if I'm not making any...

Right now a group of my friends are considering a business idea that would involve installing pneumatic tubes in a commercial building that would extend for tens of miles to places where people could drop off items and pick them up. Pneumatic tubes are centuries-old technology, reference...

I’m looking to start a small publishing company. Do I need a business license to rent office space for this business, or can I rent the space in my own name and transfer it to the business after legal incorporation down the road? I’m also wondering if and when a business needs a license. If...

They already have one in San Diego already. Citizens can straight-up apply for building permits online. Behold: https://aca-prod.accela.com/SANDIEGO/Default.aspx https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/apply-for-building-construction-permit.pdf

Previously, it was a homeless shelter, so I could see why the city would be skeptical. Still, if the people running said homeless shelter have cleaned up their act, they should be allowed to reopen. It’s wise to evaluate the present plans instead of just being a brick wall to positive effort...
