The Cobb Planning Commission will meet Tuesday morning, and three small residential rezoning requests are on the agenda.
Here is the consent and summary agenda, and thumbnail details of each case to be heard.
Among them is a request by INV3GRP LLC to rezone 3.4 acres on Merneil Drive from R-20 to RA-4 for an 11-home detached single-family subdivision (Z-73, agenda item here) and shown on the aerial map above.
The property is a vacant lot south of Post Oak Tritt Road, and while RA-4 housing is located nearby, the Cobb Zoning Office is recommending denial, saying it doesn’t fit the lower-density housing on Marneil Drive.
The lot is also designated for low-density residential use on the county’s future land use map.
The next case, Z-74 (agenda item, stipulation letter), is on the consent agenda because there has been no announced staff or community opposition.
It’s a request to rezone 1.14 acres from R-30 to R-20 for two single family homes on Wesley Chapel Road.
It’s an undeveloped lot belonging to Glennis F. Willis, who also owned 49 nearby acres that were rezoned in September 2020 for an 81-home subdivision near Garrison Mill Elementary School.
That property, which falls on either side of Wesley Chapel Road, is currently being developed into what will be called the Garrison Park subdivision.
Another East Cobb case on the consent agenda, Z-76, is being requested by Lot One Homes Inc. It would rezone a half-acre on Lassiter Road, just west of the intersection at Johnson Ferry Road, from low-rise office to RA-5 for two homes.
It’s a vacant lot between a convenience store and the Garland Square residential community, which is zoned suburban condominium (agenda item, stipulation letter).
Z-76 also is on the consent agenda, and the Cobb Zoning Staff has recommended approval (as it has Z-74) with some condition.
Both of those applicants are being represented by noted Cobb zoning attorney Garvis Sams.
The full agenda for Tuesday’s hearing can be found here; it will take place at 9 a.m. in the second floor board room of the Cobb government building (100 Cherokee St., downtown Marietta).
COVID-19 protocols are being followed, including mandatory masks and a limit on in-person attendance due to social-distancing.
The hearing 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.
