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.
