The first look at the February zoning calendar is out (Cobb doesn’t handle zoning cases in January), and the preliminary agenda includes a Johnson Ferry-Lassiter Road zoning case that would convert a vacant medical complex for a restaurant, gym and retail use.
The applicant for Z-4 is Robert Licata of Pediatric Medical Care of East Cobb, LLC, who wants to rezone the 1.09-acre parcel at the southwestern corner of Johnson Ferry Road and Lassiter Road from low-rise residential (LRO) to neighborhood retail commercial (NRC).
There are two buildings on the site, which is accessible only on Lassiter Road, and the proposal includes space for a learning center.
The site plan filed with the Cobb Zoning Office would make use of the existing buildings as they are, as well as the existing parking lot. The buildings total around 10,000 square feet combined.
The businesses would be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, and there would be no drive-through businesses on the property, according to the zoning filing.
There is NRC zoning in the vicinity, but the property is adjacent to a residential complex (zoned RA-5).
There’s not a staff recommendation now since only the preliminary calendar has been released. The case will be heard during the Cobb Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 6.
The site of the former Mountain View Elementary School was rezoned in October for a multi-use commercial project that includes a restaurant, retail space, a bank and a supermarket (previous East Cobb News post here).
The developer, Brooks Chadwick Capital, LLC, has applied for a special land use permit that’s also on the Feb. 6 agenda that would allow for a self-storage facility to be built on the nearly 14-acre site on Sandy Plains Road.
Another East Cobb case, Z-15, would convert 1.2 acres on the east side of Lawana Drive, south of Allgood Road, from single-family residential (R-20) to RM-8, multi-family residential. The applicant, Traton Homes, LLC, wants to build five townhomes.
