26-038 — Three single-family detached homes in Marietta, GA
This rezoning request seeks to reconfigure two long-vacant lots (vacant since the 1990s) into three single-family homes at a density of 8.55 units/acre, exceeding both the Infill Overlay maximum of 8 units/acre and the Comprehensive Plan's MDR range of 5-8 units/acre by 0.55 units. The project requires infrastructure improvements including sidewalk right-of-way donation and underground utility relocations, with similar recent approval granted under case Z2025-16 for 8.3 units/acre density. The proposal is compatible with surrounding residential character and supports infill development on underutilized urban land with existing water and sewer capacity.
