LUP-31-2023 — Outdoor photography business operated by appointment only with one employee and 2-5 customers per day, 15-20 customers per week in Cobb County, GA
This is a renewal application for a temporary land use permit allowing an outdoor photography business on a 7.2-acre residential property. The applicant proposes limited customer traffic (2-5 per day, 15-20 per week) by appointment only with one employee and ample parking on-site. Staff analysis concludes the use is compatible with the residential area given the property size, long driveway, and low-intensity operations, with approval recommended for 24 months subject to specified conditions including one 6-square-foot sign and compliance with Fire and DOT comments.
