Tuesday BOC zoning hearing to be split for social distancing protocols
Sep. 17—Citing social distancing requirements, next week's Cobb Board of Commissioners zoning hearing will be divided into two segments.
Instead of a single, unified session where all cases are heard in sequential order, the board has elected to split the hearing into morning and afternoon sessions. The cases will be heard as follows:
Morning Session: Z-28, Z-72 (2020), Z-23, and Z-26.
Afternoon Session: Z-31, Z-40, OB-45, and OB-48.
"There are several agenda items of interest and the meeting room is currently under social distancing occupancy limits," the county said in a news release. "Some spectators may be asked to stay outside the meeting room or watch in overflow rooms until their case of interest is called."
Case Z-72 is the hotly debated development backed by Northpoint Ministries in east Cobb, a case likely to draw dozens of attendees on its own.
