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.
This is exactly what our area needs. We need more senior housing that is nice and quiet for the neighborhood.
