Body
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
McBev One, LLC is seeking approval of a rezoning for 2791 Mathews Street from R-20 (Cobb County) to RDA-Conditional for the development of two single-family detached residences at a density of 5.88 units per acre. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single-family structure and then subdivide the parcel into two lots to construct two individual single-family residences. The proposed lots will be 7,358 sq. ft. The homes will face Mathews Street and have a shared drive with rear access to the garages. Community Development considers the rezoning to be a special circumstance since it is an opportunity to remove an existing island in Cobb County comprised of one 80 ft. lot. With the rezoning is the opportunity to fill in the island with two lots in the City that will match the existing development on either side with rear entry garages. Although the lot widths are below the 50 ft. minimum the site plan maintains a separation of 10' between houses. Community Development believes the special conditions of this specific lot are a unique opportunity and overall benefit to the City.
The Planning Board recommended approval by a vote of 6-0 at the August 10, 2020 meeting.
