Planning & Zoning Board forwards Sri Real Estate Developers rezoning to council
Summary
The City of Cumming Planning & Zoning Board unanimously voted Dec. 16 to forward rezoning request 2025119 — a proposal by Sri Real Estate Developers LLC to convert roughly 26.2 acres to moderate-density single-family homes (79 units) — to the City Council after a staff recommendation to approve.
CUMMING, Ga. — The City of Cumming Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously Dec. 16 to forward a rezoning application from Sri Real Estate Developers LLC to the City Council, clearing the way for further review of a proposal to build 79 single-family homes.
Scott, a planning staff member, told the board the applicant seeks to rezone about 26.2 acres “from office commercial multi story to moderate family residential R-2 with variances” to lot sizes and building setbacks. He said the project would include three single-family product types totaling 79 units, for a density of roughly 3.01 units per acre, and that “public water sanitary sewer will be provided by Forsyth County.”
Scott said the site plan includes two on-site stormwater detention facilities and that adjacent properties are designated highway business, shopping center and R-2. He told the board the parcel’s future land use combines commercial, moderate-density residential and office-professional uses, and that, given an updated site plan and zoning conditions, “staff recommends approval of the rezoning request as submitted.”
After brief clarification about a drafting error in the conditions (staff acknowledged the wording should refer to the City of Cumming rather than the transcript’s “city of common”), an unidentified board member moved to forward rezoning case 2025119 to the City Council for approval. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
The board also noted procedural changes at the start of the meeting: Variance No. 2025120 was withdrawn, and agenda items 2025137 and 2025138 were postponed to a Jan. 1, 2026 meeting. The board approved the meeting agenda with those changes and approved the Nov. 18, 2025 minutes by voice vote.
The Planning & Zoning Board’s action forwards the rezoning request; the City Council will hold the next formal hearing and decision on the application. The record in the board minutes includes staff exhibits, revised site plans and the recommended zoning conditions submitted with the application.
