The Cobb County Planning Commission will meet this Tuesday, July 5, at 9 a.m. in the BOC Room on the 2nd Floor of 100 Cherokee Street, Marietta, GA 30090.
The planning commission is a five-member advisory organization whose members appointed by each of the BOC district commissioners plus the BOC chairwoman.
It holds hearings on rezoning requests, special land use permits and other business related to land use and zoning, and makes recommendations to the Cobb County Board of Commissioners.
Recommendations are made at Planning Commission meetings that have a great impact on each community in the county.
But the Planning Commission only makes recommendations. It is up to the Board of Commissioners to make the decision to approve or deny any zoning-related request.
The meetings are open to the public, and are also live-streamed on CobbTV and on the county’s YouTube channel. Past zoning hearings are also available for viewing.
Members of the public can also speak in support or opposition to specific zoning cases that come before the board during the hearing for the case.
