single-family neighborhoods
|
|
Similar code allowing ADUs in single-family neighborhoods was proposed in 2024, but was withdrawn after strong objection. The BOC will vote on the amendments Oct. 27th.
|
Proponents of allowing ADUs in single-family neighborhoods say they are a solution to housing affordability and a way to add living space for extended family.
Opponents say there is already code allowing homeowners to add living space for extended family. They believe ADUs, which can be up to 850 sq. ft., will mainly be rental units that change their single-family neighborhoods and bring more people, traffic and noise.
The proposed code amendments allowing ADUs are part of Chapter 134. Read Chapter 134 here.

The Space Shop Storage Opens
At The Corner Of Delk And Terrell Mill
The building is designed to look like attractive townhomes to complement the nearby residential area. Self-storage facilities generate very little traffic, and there will be heavy landscaping with new and existing trees to screen the facility and beautify the frontage. The PFCA has a webpage about the development of this property and how the storage company worked with the community to create a distinctive building. For information on renting storage space, see the The Space Shop website for this location.

data center proposal for delk at I-75 is Approved
(Note: This application was in progress before the Council enacted a data center moratorium that is set to end Dec. 31, 2026.)
At its packed meeting on August 12, 2026, the Marietta City Council approved a revised application for a data center at 1155 Powers Ferry Place, which is near Delk Road and I-75. This property is in the City of Marietta, but is also within the western border of the Powers Ferry Corridor, so we have been following the application closely, including attending City Council meetings.
This will be an 18 MW data center, occupying about half of the existing Prime Storage warehouse. It is designated as “mission critical” to deliver the low-latency response that hospitals, emergency services, and public safety need.
Read more on our Prime Data Center page, which has links to informative media coverage.
