Body

ISSUE AND BACKGROUND: 

The applicant is requesting approval to annex one existing lot of record from Cobb County into the city and retain the existing R-20 zoning category. The property is currently occupied with one residential structure. The existing structure will be demolished for the construction of a new single-family home. The existing lot is non-conforming with respect to the R-20 zoning district and requires several variances. The Planning Board recommended approval by a vote of 7-0 at the March 8, 2021 meeting.

 

RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION:  Community Development has reviewed the proposed plat against the requirements of the R-20 zoning district. The variances are necessary to redevelop the property as it is currently non-conforming. The subject property will maintain an R-20 zoning classification and will not increase the density for the property as one home currently occupies the property. Community Development recommends approval of the requested variances with the following conditions:

 

1.                     The minimum lot size shall be 8,351 sq. ft.

2.                     The minimum lot width shall be 62 ft.

3.                     The minimum front setback shall be 15 ft.

4.                     The minimum side setback shall be 5 ft.

5.                     The minimum rear setback shall be 15 ft.

 

6.                     Approval is conditioned upon substantial compliance with the site plan submitted February 18, 2021 and prepared by LandTec Surveying.
