Full Breakdown
Johns Creek treats a Family Day Care Home as a type of home occupation under § 4.12, but layers on childcare-specific rules. Subsection K bars these homes in multi-family dwelling units entirely. Subsection L confines required outdoor play areas to side or rear yards outside the minimum yard setback, never a yard adjoining a street. Subsection M requires 1,000 feet of separation in all directions from any other Family Day Care Home operated as a home occupation. Subsection N limits hours to Monday through Saturday, 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and subsection O requires operators to file a current, certified copy of their State of Georgia Family Day Care Home registration with the business license application and every renewal.
Violations & Fines
Operating without the required Georgia registration on file, closer than the 1,000-foot spacing rule, or outside the 6 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Saturday hours violates § 4.12.K-O and can void the business license.
