Joey Staubes, Planner II, presented the following background: 
  
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from GC to R15 for the development of one (1) 
single-family detached units at a density of 2.17 units per acre. A land use change 
from Industrial is not required for this rezoning. Staff Recommendation: Approval of

Board Recommendation: Approved by a vote of 7-0 at the November 12, 2024 
meeting. 
  
Project Analysis 
Shamarra Goba is seeking approval of a rezoning for 4820 Camp Highland Road from 
GC to R15 for the development of one (1) single-family detached residence at a 
density of 2.17 units per acre. The previous single-family home was demolished and a 
rezoning is required to build a new single-family home. The applicant is requesting a 
rezoning to R-15 to build the single-family home. The proposed lot will be 
approximately 19,000 sq. ft. 
  
Engineering Review 
The applicant has provided a site plan with the rezoning application for reference. A 
formal review of stormwater management requirements will be assessed during plan 
review and permitting. There is no stream located on the subject property. 
Cobb/Douglas Public Health Department will approve all septic system permits. 
  
Fire Marshal Review 
The Fire Marshal’s office has reviewed the revised site plan and believes there is 
sufficient access to provide emergency services to the three homes. 
  
Planning Review 
The proposed rezoning would provide for one (1) new residence at density of 2.17 
units per acre. The subject property is located in an area where the surrounding 
properties have a future land use designation of Moderate Density Residential (up to 
4.5 dwelling units per acre) and Industrial. Community Development has reviewed the 
proposed development against the zoning standards of the recent nearby rezonings 
and found the proposed development to be compatible with the surrounding area. The 
construction of one (1) new single-family detached home results in a density of 2.17 
units per acre on the subject property. The lot width and lot size are compatible with 
the R-15 zoning district and no variances are required. The applicant is requesting a 
rezoning from GC to R-15 and the proposed zoning is in compliance with the Future 
Land Use Plan. 
  
Community Development recommends approval of the rezoning from GC to R-15 for 
the development of one (1) single-family unit at a density of 2.17 units per acre.
