Customer traffic to home businesses in Brookhaven must not exceed what is typical for residential use. Regular appointment-based visits, multiple simultaneous clients, or commercial deliveries that alter neighborhood character may not qualify under home occupation standards. Ch. 27 Zoning applies.
Brookhaven's home occupation standards (Ch. 27) limit the frequency and intensity of customer visits to home businesses. Regular appointment streams, groups of clients arriving simultaneously, or commercial vehicle deliveries that are noticeably different from neighboring homes may violate these standards. Teaching, tutoring, or beauty services with multiple clients may be limited. Contact Community Development (404-637-0500) for guidance on specific business types.
Excessive traffic: warning then $100 to $500. Zoning violation: $250+/day. Business relocation may be required.
