26-042 — Light industrial; three 20,000 SF buildings and one 60,000 SF building; truck parking, staging/storage areas
This case involves a 9.25-acre multi-parcel rezoning from primarily R-20 residential zoning to LI (Light Industrial) in Marietta, including annexation of Cobb County property. The project proposes approximately 60,000 SF of industrial buildings with truck parking and storage, requiring a variance to reduce the undisturbed landscape buffer from 50 feet to 20 feet adjacent to residential districts. Developers should note the mixed parcel ownership, required infrastructure extensions, and the landscape buffer variance needed to proceed.
26-041 — Not specified in plat document
This case involves a preliminary land plan for subdividing approximately 0.351 acres into three lots at 373 & 385 Lawrence Street in Marietta, with zoning setbacks including 15-foot front, 5-foot minor side, 15-foot major side, and 15-foot rear setbacks, and a maximum building height of 35 feet. The site contains 0.121 acres per lot with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet and is not in a flood hazard area. Development on this plat will be subject to city design and infrastructure standards applicable to the Lawrence Street corridor.
26-038 — Three single-family detached homes
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.
26-021 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This case amends the Home Occupations ordinance (Section 712.04) to prohibit alcohol manufacturing for commercial sale as a home occupation, addressing neighborhood concerns. The amendment also clarifies existing restrictions on floor space usage, vehicle parking, employee presence, and other operational standards for home-based businesses. Developers should note this affects the viability of home-based alcohol production ventures in Marietta.
26-017 — Single-family detached home (three-bedroom, two-bathroom)
Applicant seeks to rezone a 7,020 square-foot commercially-zoned parcel from NRC to R-4 residential to convert an existing law office into a single-family home, accompanied by variance requests to address physical constraints including a sewer easement restricting 35% of developability, a building currently less than one foot from the right-of-way, and stream buffer requirements. The proposed rezoning aligns with adjacent R-4 residential zoning and staff analysis indicates the request is consistent with nearby land uses and previously approved similar applications in Marietta.
26-016 — Single-family residence (3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with rear addition and detached garage)
A 0.161-acre property in an area transitioning from commercial to residential zoning will be rezoned from NRC to R4 to allow conversion of an attorney's office into a single-family residence. The rezoning aligns with the MDR future land use designation, though the project requires multiple variances for setbacks, lot size, and density to accommodate the existing structure and proposed improvements. Several nearby properties have undergone similar NRC-to-R4 rezonings in recent years, indicating an established pattern of residential conversion in this Campbell Hill Street corridor.
Z2026-08 — Subdivision into two single-family residential lots to build two new single family homes
Applicant seeks to rezone a 1.38-acre parcel from R-1 to R-2 to formalize the subdivision of property that already contains two existing homes into two separate lots, enabling development of two new single-family homes. The rezoning is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, where most properties are zoned at higher residential densities (R-2, R-3, or R-4), and aligns with the property's Low Density Residential future land use designation.
26-014 — Residential (affordable housing)
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.
