The potential redeveloper of the Sprayberry Crossing Shopping Center has done another revision of its proposed mixed-use project and has scheduled a virtual public town hall meeting for next week to go over the plans.
What’s now being called the Sprayberry Neighborhood Center is still anchored by a 30,000-square foot national grocery space, rental units and townhomes.
Additional neighborhood retail space has been added, as have some affordable housing options.
Shane Spink of the Sprayberry Crossing Action Group said the public town hall will take place next Wednesday, July 1, at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The plans by Atlantic Residential, an Atlanta-based apartment developer, have more of a residential mixed than what it proposed back in April (below).
What’s scaled down are the townhomes, from 56 to 36, with the addition of a dozen or so “mews units” and a handful of micro homes.
An apartment building originally set for 195 units was cut to around 177, and there’s another building for 120 rental units for those age 55 and older.
The last site plan called for 8,200 square feet of retail space and 12,000 more square feet of co-working space. The new renderings total around 16,000 square feet for retail.
The revised plans also call for 707 parking spaces, residential amenities and a multi-use trail.
Atlantic Residential still needs to get rezoning for its final plan.
After the April site plan revision, Atlantic Residential took public feedback and responded to various questions, saying it intended to come back to the community for a public meeting.
Due to COVID-19, that will be taking place online. Here’s how participate in the public town hall on Zoom, by clicking here. The Meeting ID is 873 1849 1772.
Spink said more details about the call will be coming soon.

I hate to break it to you, but absolutely nobody is traveling 9 miles through the congested areas around here for student housing that will be the same or more expensive than the offerings closer to KSU. I understand you don’t want multistory apartments, but this land is literally perfect for it — and the revised plan helps soften the blow.
Same plan for apartments with a new name for them. And what happen to the big public space they were so proud of? This will end up being student housing for Kennesaw State. I want to know what those running for commissioner/chairman think about this apartment complex that is a foot in the door for multistory. apartments throughout East Cobb.
Density. They want it. The lot isn’t zoned for it. It will drag down Sprayberry High School (which is already struggling to maintain East Cobb standards) and bring 770 parking spaces full of people to a traffic quadrant that is already one of Cobb’s worst. And that doesn’t mention bringing rental property to an area that doesn’t want nor have rental units. We can do better.
