Council approves rezoning at 9100 Bumble Road for two single‑family lots
Summary
Council approved rezoning RZ‑24009 (concurrent variance VC‑240006) to allow two single‑family detached homes on a 0.926‑acre property at 9100 Bumble Road, with staff and the Planning Commission recommending approval with conditions.
Director Song presented a rezoning request (RZ‑24009 with concurrent variance VC‑240006) to change a 0.926‑acre property at 9100 Bumble Road from AG‑1 to R‑4A to allow a two‑lot single‑family subdivision. The application showed minimum lot areas of roughly 19,972 square feet, proposed 4,500 square‑foot minimum houses, a shared driveway off the existing curb cut, and pedestrian connections including a 10‑foot multi‑use trail along Nesbitt Ferry Road.
Song summarized staff findings: "The proposed development of 2 single family detached homes would be in compliance with the policy and intent of the comprehensive plan," and noted that Fulton County confirmed adequate water and sewer capacity. The concurrent variance seeks to eliminate a 10% common‑open‑space requirement for this two‑lot configuration; staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions. The applicant's engineer (Peyton Anderson of Davis Engineering and Surveying) said surface BMPs would be addressed through infiltration trenches, bioretention swales or similar measures rather than cisterns.
After a public hearing with the applicant available to answer technical questions and no opposition speakers, a council member moved to approve the rezoning as recommended by staff and the motion passed.
Why it matters: The approval allows infill of a small, wooded parcel with two large single‑family homes and adjusts open‑space requirements by variance; the project will add two residential units and requires standard development review conditions.
