26-014 — Residential (affordable housing) in Marietta, GA
This rezoning case seeks to restore a 0.28-acre residential property from commercial (CRC) zoning back to residential use (R-4) after it reverted due to extended vacancy. The owners intend to complete renovations and operate the property as affordable housing, consistent with surrounding residential character on Birney Street. Approval would align this parcel's zoning with neighboring properties and the applicant's intended residential use.
