Rezoning request sparks plans for new senior living facility

In a recent government meeting, a proposal for rezoning a 5.1-acre property located on the east side of Powder Springs Road in Marietta was presented. The applicant, Chuck Ouzo, is seeking to change the zoning from RA-6 and NRC to RSL to develop a senior living facility comprising 84 supportive residential units.

Ouzo emphasized that the property, which was previously rezoned two years ago, now requires a different classification to better serve the community's needs. He noted that the proposed facility would meet all necessary requirements set forth by Cobb County, and he expressed optimism that the county would approve the rezoning request.

During the meeting, it was confirmed that there were no objections from the public regarding the proposal. Ouzo highlighted the proximity of an existing senior living facility in the neighborhood, suggesting that the new development would complement the community's existing resources for senior residents. The meeting concluded with a call for further consideration of the rezoning application, which aims to enhance residential options for seniors in the area.
