Council takes first reading on Cobb Road rezoning; developer presents 65-lot single‑family plan
Summary
Council held first reading of Ordinance 2025‑39 to rezone ~21.96 acres at 425 Cobb Road to R3 for a 65‑lot single‑family development; developer and planner discussed access, a 45‑ft natural buffer to Rocky Creek and emergency access arrangements; public hearing set for Jan. 6.
The council took first reading of Ordinance 2025‑39, which would rezone approximately 21.96 acres at 425 Cobb Road from R1 to R3 to allow patio/atrium single‑family homes. Planner notes: the revised plan shows 65 lots across 22.65 acres (assessor lists 21.96 acres), a gross density of about 2.87 dwelling units per acre and a buildable‑area density of ~3.71 units per acre when constrained areas are removed.
Planner and developer addressed access and safety issues. The developer said sight‑distance measurements have been taken and DOT has been consulted; proposed primary access is located where sight lines meet required standards and a gated emergency access is proposed for first‑responder use only. The team said roughly 40 percent of the site will remain in natural/open space and that they have preserved a 45‑ft natural buffer alongside Rocky Creek because of water sensitivity. Utilities (sewer, water) are available at the site and roads are proposed as private with an HOA for maintenance.
A resident who had signed up to speak reserved comments for the formal public hearing; the council scheduled the public hearing/next reading for Jan. 6.
