The first hurdle for a 322-unit apartment building on a Kroger site on Powers Ferry Road was cleared Wednesday when the Marietta Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval.
The proposal goes before the Marietta City Council next Wednesday for final action.
The mixed-use development proposed by WC Acquisitions LLC includes 7,000 square feet of amenities for the apartment building, 6,000 square feet of retail space and a 485-space parking deck that’s six and a half stories high.
The density would be high, at more than 60 units an acre, and one of the highest in the Marietta city limits.
But it’s in keeping with density at the nearby MarketPlace Terrell Mill in unincorporated Cobb and other multi-family complexes in the Powers Ferry corridor.
The application got the support of the Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance.
The Kroger at Terrell Mill and Delk roads was built in 1982, and is the southernmost tract of land in the City of Marietta in that area.
Later this year, Kroger is moving Marketplace Terrell Mill that’s in unincorporated Cobb, and WC Acquisitions Attorney Garvis Sams said the 4.8-acre site doesn’t have a retail future.
