Approval of Mixed-Use Development in Kennesaw Delayed Until Next Year

A $150 million mixed-use residential and retail project proposed for Cobb and Barrett parkways will have to wait a few more weeks for approval, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports.

According to the AJC, the Kennesaw City Council tabled a vote on a zoning change and the approval of variances at the request of Fuqua Acquisitions during their Monday evening meeting. Fuqua asked for the delay in order to tweak the site plan to remove the need for variances on stream bank and flood plain setbacks, the AJC says.

In addition, the AJC says that Fuqua wants to replace the 30 townhomes it originally proposed with 260 multifamily units, and plans to reduce the overall retail space to 340,000 sq. ft.

The City of Kennesaw will revisit the Fuqua plans during a planning and zoning department meeting on Jan. 29 and a full city council meeting on Feb. 16, the AJC writes.
