Under Georgia House Bill 1405 (effective July 1, 2023), applicants for a Type 1 Home Occupation Special Administrative Permit must attend a public hearing with Stonecrest Planning and Zoning. Properties within a 1,000-foot radius must be notified, and the application must be advertised on a local news site.
