Staff back 242-apartment Macedonia Road plan with conditions
The September 28 recommendation supports annexation, mixed-use zoning and a density variance, replacing the August report’s recommendation to table the requests.
Powder Springs staff recommend conditional approval of the linked annexation, rezoning and density-variance requests for the proposed development at 2761 Macedonia Road. The September 28 report recommends a maximum of 242 apartments and at least 5,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.[1]
The recommendation differs from the August 24 report, which called for tabling the applications. SCP Acquisitions, LLC seeks to annex 10.114 acres from unincorporated Cobb County, change the zoning from R-20 to Mixed Use District and exceed the normally permitted residential density.[1][2]
Recommended conditions include a 20-foot undisturbed buffer plus a separate 10-foot landscaping buffer along boundaries adjoining residential districts. The report records staff’s position, not a council approval or adopted development conditions.[1]
