RZ2026-003 — pd_amendment

DRB Group Georgia, LLC, which recently received approval to develop the adjacent property as a 89-townhome PUD-R subdivision, opposes the removal and argues CCPOA is obligated to provide the required access. This case directly affects developers seeking to utilize the interparcel access condition for subdivision access.
26-622 — other
Cedar Creek Professional Office Association seeks to remove Stipulation #14 from Zoning Ordinance 2006-20, which requires shared access between their property and an adjacent parcel originally intended for office development. The adjacent property is now subject to a competing rezoning application (RZ2025-3) by DRB Group Georgia for 89 townhomes, which would rely on CCPOA's private drive for access to Pine Mountain Road. CCPOA argues the stipulation was premised on office building development, not residential townhomes, and that the current owner already has legal access via King Crossing Court under an existing easement agreement.
13-2026 — Multifamily residential development with 182 apartment units
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.
I25-10920 — Lazy Guy Distillery
This agenda item involves preliminary plat approval and related survey/engineering documentation for the Lazy Guy Distillery project at 2690 Keene Street. The case includes corrective deeds, parking easement agreements, and grading plans for the proposed development.

Dean Klein has submitted a rezoning request to convert approximately 0.11 acres of unassigned right-of-way fronting 2995 and 2997 N Main Street from its current ROW status to R-15 Single-Family Residential zoning. The Planning Commission will hear this case on February 4, 2026, with a final hearing scheduled before the Mayor and Council on February 16, 2026.
25-305 — plat
This is a boundary survey plat for two adjacent properties totaling 0.11 acres located at 2995 and 2997 North Main Street in Kennesaw. The survey documents the retracement of existing parcels without subdividing or creating new parcels or changing property boundaries. The property is currently zoned R-15 residential.
16-2026 — Single Family Residential lot expansion
This rezoning request seeks to convert approximately 0.11 acres of unused right-of-way fronting two residential properties into R-15 Single Family Residential zoning, allowing the adjoining parcels to be expanded and consolidated. The proposal is consistent with the surrounding R-15 residential pattern, the Comprehensive Plan's Residential Low/Medium future land use designation, and the Mayor and Council's 2025 decision to sell the ROW to the property owners. Staff recommends approval as the request is administrative in nature and does not alter the use, intensity, or neighborhood character of the area.
03-2026 — Multifamily residential development with 182 apartment units and amenities including clubhouse and outdoor amenity space
Walton Communities, LLC seeks to rezone 11.68 acres from General Commercial (GC) and RM-12 Multifamily to RM-16 Multifamily to develop 182 apartment units. The site is located at a major intersection and is adjacent to existing affordable housing, retail, and office uses in an established activity center. Staff recommends postponing the case pending completion of a Traffic Impact Study and submission of a variance application.

DRB Group Georgia seeks to rezone approximately 8.8 acres from Highway General Business to Planned Unit Development–Residential for development of 89 townhome units at 10.08 units per acre. The subject property, situated one parcel behind retail commercial uses on US Highway 41, is partially developed with an abandoned assisted living facility and adjoins existing residential townhome and mobile home developments. The rezoning would provide needed residential density in a mixed-use area while maintaining below-maximum PUD density standards.
25-214 — 89 townhomes residential development
This case involves a traffic impact study for a proposed 89-unit townhome residential development at 6095 Pine Mountain Road. The project will add two site access connections—one right-in/right-out on SR 3/US 41 (Cobb Parkway) and one full access on Pine Mountain Road—requiring analysis of impacts at four key intersections. Development approval will depend on traffic operations meeting acceptable level-of-service standards at these locations.

DRB Group Georgia, LLC seeks to rezone 8.823 acres from Highway General Business (HGB) to Planned Unit Development-Residential (PUD-R) to develop 89 townhome units on a partially developed, blighted site along Pine Mountain Road.

20-2013 — residential townhomes
DRB Group Georgia is seeking to rezone an 11.70-acre parcel on Pine Mountain Road from HGB to PUD for residential townhome development. The applicant has filed a constitutional challenge asserting that the current HGB zoning classification unconstitutionally deprives the property of economically viable use. This rezoning case could affect future residential development patterns in the area.
02-2026 — 89 fee simple townhomes with dog park and gathering places
This is a rezoning application to convert an 8.8-acre commercially zoned property (Highway General Business) to a residential planned development with 89 fee simple townhomes. The project is positioned as a mixed-use development within a Community Activity Center corridor, offering an intermediate use between the commercial frontage along Cobb Parkway and established residential neighborhoods to the south and west. Traffic analysis indicates the development will not materially affect surrounding intersection operations.
