Home occupations in unincorporated Gwinnett must not generate traffic, parking demand, or deliveries exceeding normal residential levels. Excessive client visits can trigger zoning enforcement action.
Gwinnett UDO home occupation provisions require that the use cause no traffic or parking impact beyond that customary for a residential dwelling. There is no fixed numerical client cap in the UDO, but the standard is impact-based: if neighbors report frequent customer vehicles, commercial deliveries, or on-street parking tied to business activity, Planning & Development may investigate. Low-impact occupations with occasional clients (lessons, consultations) typically comply; high-traffic activities like retail, repair shops, or group classes are generally disallowed as home occupations. All client parking must be accommodated on the driveway, not on the street.
Zoning notice of violation; escalating fines $100-$1,000/day for continued non-compliance; potential loss of home occupation privileges.
