Stonecrest holds March public hearing on type-1 home-occupation permits and late-night business hours

The City of Stonecrest held a March 2025 special administrative‑permit public hearing to consider several type‑1 home‑occupation permit applications and two requests for extended late‑night business hours.

The permits could affect small-business operators who run administrative offices from residences and several establishments seeking later closing times. City staff said they would complete reviews and issue decision letters within 24 to 48 hours for active applications.

Staff said applicants must meet the eight criteria in the city’s supplemental regulations (identified in the hearing as Section 4.2.0.31, “home occupation and private educational uses”) and that approvals are administrative and not transferable off the owner-operator.

Applicants and staff reviewed individual cases on the record:
