Applicant withdraws rezoning request for Old Highway 41/Roberts Road; staff recommends accepting withdrawal without prejudice
Summary
An applicant withdrew a previously discussed rezoning and master-plan amendment for property on Old Highway 41 and North Roberts Road; planning staff and the planning commission recommended accepting the withdrawal without prejudice and asked the applicant to return with new concepts focused on commercial components.
The city’s planning staff told the Kennesaw Mayor and Council at a March 10, 2025 work session that the rezoning request affecting 2112–2114 Old Highway 41 and 1620 North Roberts Road has been withdrawn and that staff recommends accepting the withdrawal without prejudice.
Daryl, a member of the city planning staff, said the applicant originally sought a master-plan amendment that would have changed the commercial and office components for about 4.5 acres. After multiple meetings with staff and discussion of the city’s expectations, the applicant submitted a letter of withdrawal dated 02/11/2025. Planning staff accepted the letter and the planning commission recommended acceptance of the withdrawal without prejudice.
The staff recommendation asks that the applicant focus on new concepts emphasizing the commercial components and return to city staff with additional options at a future date. Council opened the item for public comment as required by advertisement and signage procedures; no substantive public comments on the withdrawal were recorded in the transcript.
No formal council action on the withdrawal was recorded in the transcript; the matter was set for further presentation and formal consideration at the upcoming regular meeting.
Notes: the withdrawal letter date, planning-commission recommendation, and staff recommendation were stated on the record during the work session.
