The Cobb County Board of Commissioners and the Planning Commission process rezoning, variance, and land use amendment applications across metro Atlanta's largest suburban county. The Cumberland/Galleria area surrounding Truist Park (the Braves' stadium) has become the county's most active mixed-use development node, with The Battery Atlanta spurring billions in adjacent office, hotel, and multifamily entitlement filings. The Town Center area near Kennesaw and the Austell/Mableton corridor along the Silver Comet Trail are seeing rezoning activity tied to transit-oriented and workforce housing proposals. Cobb DOT corridor studies frequently shape development conditions attached to zoning approvals.

The Planning Commission held a lengthy May 5th hearing dominated by the contentious Racetrack gas station rezoning (Z10) at Bells Ferry Rd. and Ernest Barrett Pkwy., which was recommended for approval but with fuel sales prohibited—effectively denying the gas station use. The Commission also approved a car care ministry facility (LUP-10) for McEachern Memorial Methodist Church with conditions, recommended approval for a self-storage facility with ground-floor retail at Sandy Plains and Scuffle Grit roads (Z16/SLUP-5), and held a residential subdivision proposal (Z17) on Old Canton Rd. for further engineering review due to floodplain concerns.
