13-2026 — Multifamily residential development with 182 apartment units in Kennesaw, GA
This rezoning request seeks to convert 11.44 acres from General Commercial and RM-12 multifamily zoning to RM-16 multifamily zoning to accommodate a 182-unit apartment development at the intersection of Old 41 Highway and Ernest Barrett Parkway. The site is constrained by significant floodway that reduces developable acreage, and the project includes a concurrent variance request to reduce parking requirements from 1.75 to 1.5 spaces per unit. Staff recommends approval with conditions, finding the proposal consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's Community Activity Center designation and the Ridenour Area's vision for mixed-use, higher-density development.
