Public Participation in Zoning in Cobb County
The Mableton Improvement Coalition participates in the public comment process for zoning applications with the goal of presenting the community’s viewpoint. We need to hear from you! Email us at zoning@mableton.org, become a part of our Facebook group, or attend the Community Zoning meetings. Act as soon as you see a zoning sign! Early conversations are the most productive.

District 4 Community Zoning Meetings: at 6pm on the 4th Wednesdays of each month, District Commissioner Lisa Cupid and Planning Commissioner Galt Porter hold a community meeting about upcoming zoning applications. The meeting is held at the South Cobb Community Center, 620 Lions Club Drive. (suspended during the pandemic)
Public Hearings: Final decisions are made by the Board of Commissioners, after the Planning Commission makes a recommendation to the Board of Commissioners. Each holds a monthly hearing (except in January).
- Planning Commission – first Tuesday of each month
- Board of Commissioners – third Tuesday of each month
Use the link above to double check the hearing dates on the application (which can change due to holidays). All hearings begin at 9am on the second floor of 100 Cherokee St, Marietta. You can use the link above to view the agenda for each meeting, but cases can be heard at any time during the hearing. (new procedures are in place due to the pandemic)
