A home occupation in Coweta County cannot turn a residential lot into a commercial destination. Customer visits, deliveries, and parking must stay incidental so the business does not disrupt the neighborhood or its traffic.
The Coweta County zoning ordinance keeps a home occupation from changing the character of its street. Because the use must be clearly incidental and subordinate to the dwelling, customer and client visits are limited, on-site parking must absorb any visitors without spilling onto the road, and large commercial deliveries by tractor-trailer or box truck are not appropriate in a residential district. Rural Home Occupations on agricultural land get more latitude, allowing a set number of trade and employee vehicles on the premises, but even there outside storage is pushed back behind a substantial setback. A business that draws steady walk-in traffic typically outgrows the home-occupation standard and needs a commercial location.
Generating customer or delivery traffic beyond the incidental-use standard is a zoning violation. The county may issue a notice, assess penalties, and require the operator to scale back or relocate the business.
