Z-26-2022 — Purpose-Built Student Housing (off-campus student apartment, mid-rise, 4-10 floors, 588 bedrooms) in Cobb County, GA
This is a rezoning application for an off-campus student housing development with 588 bedrooms and mid-rise (4-10 floor) construction on Chastain Center Boulevard. The property is located within a Regional Activity Center (RAC) office subarea, and staff recommends approval as the proposed use aligns with comprehensive plan policies supporting mid- to high-rise residential in RAC designations. The development requires traffic study approval, aerial fire apparatus access, and coordination with airport authorities due to proximity to McCollum Field.
