RE: Rezoning Case Z-29 Proposed Rezoning of 3950 Hiram Lithia Springs Rd SW, Powder Springs, GA 30127

Dear Cobb County Commissioners and Planning Staff,

I am writing you to express my support for the proposed rezoning of 3950 Hiram Lithia Springs Road SW from its current zoning of R-30 to RSL (residential senior living). As a neighboring resident to the subject property, I recognize that new development in our area is inevitable. However, I believe RSL zoning and the proposed active adult (55+) community are appropriate for 3950 Hiram Lithia Springs Rd SW.

The proposed rezoning and development of a 110-home active adult neighborhood will benefit our community by maintaining a peaceful residential environment, preserving green space, and offering additional housing options for the region’s growing population of adults aged 55 and older. I believe RSL zoning best aligns with the needs and desires of the community with a marginal difference in density compared to rezoning alternatives.

For the reasons stated above, I support the rezoning of 3950 Hiram Lithia Springs Road SW to RSL to deliver high-quality, single-story detached housing for adults aged 55 and older.

Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
