LUP-17-2026 — Tree service and removal company in Cobb County, GA
This rezoning request seeks to convert a 1.44-acre single-family residential property in an R-20 district to Light Industrial (LI) zoning for tree service operations, proposing parking of up to 10 work vehicles and 8 employee vehicles on an unpaved surface. The property is surrounded by residential homes to the north, west, and south, and staff recommends denial due to incompatibility with surrounding residential uses, lack of proper parking infrastructure (0 paved spaces vs. 18 required), missing building permits, and waiver requests for critical setbacks and landscape buffers.
