Title
Public Hearing - Approval of subdivision plat with variances for lot area and front setback - 0.46 Acres - Land Lot 378 - 2900 & 2930 S Cobb Drive - 2900 S Cobb Drive, LLC

ISSUE: The applicant is requesting approval to divide an existing commercial retail center and out-parcel into two lots. The subject property is currently platted as one lot of record; however, the commercial retail center and out-parcel are addressed separately (2900 & 2930 S Cobb Drive) and each have their own tax parcel identification (17037800390 & 17037800520).
