Northpoint Ministries’ application for a mixed-use development that includes East Cobb Church, retail and residential will be heard later in October by the Cobb Board of Commissioners.
On Tuesday the Cobb Planning Commission will consider an application for another church in the East Cobb area, albeit on a smaller scale.
The proposed Praise Harvest Community Church would go on Jamerson Road, west of Canton Road, in a small building zoned for neighborhood shopping (NS).
The church is seeking neighborhood commercial retail (NRC) zoning and the Cobb Zoning Staff has recommended approval with conditions (the staff analysis, site plan and other details can be found here).
The existing building includes 20,000 square feet, and the church is proposing a capacity of 100 people (membership is around 45) using the facility Wednesday-Friday evenings and Sunday mornings.
The Praise Harvest case is included on the Planning Commission’s consent agenda (summary here), and the meeting begins at 9 a.m.
It’s in second floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St., downtown Marietta), and COVID-19 measures are in place, including required masks.
The meeting also will be live-streamed on the county’s website, cable TV channel (Channel 24 on Comcast) and Youtube page. Visit cobbcounty.org/CobbTV for other streaming options.
Also on the agenda is a proposal to convert a single family home on Scufflegrit Road, just below Sandy Plains Road, for a coffee shop with a conference room and tutoring service available by reservation only.
The current home is behind a closed drug store and faces the Sandy Plains Exchange shopping center.
But it’s surrounded by low-density single-family housing and also is on the consent agenda, which mean’s there’s no announced opposition.
The staff is recommending approval (agenda item here) with conditions that include buffering and exterior modifications to be approved by the district commissioner.
The full meeting agenda can be found here; a case that was scheduled to be heard Tuesday in the East Cobb area is being held back to November. The Furniture and Mattress Warehouse wants to develop a 30,000-square foot retail and professional center on and a car wash a vacant lot on Piedmont Road, east of Bells Ferry Road, between a CVS store and a subdivision (agenda item here).
The applicant asked for the continuance to continue working with the Bells Ferry Civic Association.
In addition to the East Cobb Church case, Cobb commissioners will reconsider the Ebenezer Road rezoning it’s delayed several times when it holds its next zoning hearing on Oct. 19.
No new filings have been added for either application since the September meetings.
