Cobb County Board of Zoning Appeals Variance Hearing

The Board of Zoning Appeals meeting included the review of several variance cases. Several cases were continued to a later date at the request of staff or applicants, while others proceeded to be heard. Key discussions involved drainage and site challenges related to variance requests, specifically focusing on accessory structures like garages and pools. The Board deliberated on whether to grant setback reductions and other exceptions, often incorporating stipulations regarding storm water management and the prohibition of residential or commercial use of the approved accessory structures. The meeting also included an opportunity for applicants to present evidence and for the board to ask clarifying questions.
