Z-36/Student Apartments on South Side CHASTan Rd.
LCD Acquisitions, a developer specializing in student housing, submitted a rezoning application to Cobb County to build student apartments on the south side of Chastain Road, between I-575 and Chastain Meadows Parkway. This 33 acre parcel of land would have 180 units and 775 beds with a single entrance on Chastain Road. Among the BFCA's concerns are the volume of additional traffic to this already-busy stretch of road, the effects of pollution, noise and crime, and the encroachment of undergraduate rental units in an area with so many residential subdivisions.
Status: This case was withdrawn by the applicant on 6/27/17 after staff comments did not recommend for approval due to its incompatibility with the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan and community opposition.
