26-011 — Guest house (second dwelling for family member) in Coweta County, GA
Applicant seeks a variance to reduce the minimum acreage requirement from 10 acres to 7.63 acres to construct an 896-square-foot guest house for an aging family member. The guest house would be located in the rear yard approximately 115 feet from the principal dwelling on RC-zoned property in rural Newnan. Staff analysis indicates the proposed structure would be compatible with neighboring properties and would not substantially impair the ordinance's intent, though the Board must determine whether the applicant's hardship circumstances satisfy ordinance criteria.
