East Cobb Church rezoning gets Planning Commission rehearing

East Cobb Church rezoning case delauyed — *A rendering of the proposed East Cobb Church from Shallowford Road.*

A reminder that the East Cobb Church rezoning case that’s been delayed several times is getting another hearing Tuesday by the Cobb Planning Commission, which also is hearing a couple of other cases of interest in East Cobb.

The church-residential-retail mixed-use proposal at Johnson Ferry and Shallowford roads has been revised again, with another site plan and stipulation letter submitted last week.

The church leaders have launched a website with related details, including traffic and density figures that have concerned opponents.

The holdup from the Planning Commission stems from those factors and others, and the continuance until July was for the developer to make design changes.

The 33 acres would include a 130,000-square foot church building and parking lot, 58 single-family detached homes, 71 townhomes and a small amount of retail.

A 99-unit single-family detached subdivision proposal on Ebenezer Road will get its first hearing, and it’s also been delayed and changed.

Pulte Homes originally had proposed 112 homes on nearly 50 undeveloped acres between Maybreeze Road and Blackwell Road. A revised site plan was submitted last week, as was a stipulation letter outlining the changes.

Also held over from June is a proposed conversion of the closed Park 12 Cobb movie theater into a storage facility.

Stein Investment Group is seeking a special land-use permit for the property on Gordy Parkway at Shallowford Road, which has been dormant since the theater closed last year.

The Cobb Zoning Staff is recommending approval of all three applications.

The Planning Commission makes recommendations to the Cobb Board of Commissioners. Here’s a summary agenda of Tuesday’s meeting, and more details here, as well as the full agenda.

The meeting starts at 9 a.m. in the 2nd floor board room of the Cobb government building, 100 Cherokee St., in downtown Marietta.

There’s no more virtual participation; those wishing to speak must attend in person.
