Future Commercial District

The CF future commercial district was originally established as a zone designated for future commercial use with no immediate right to use or occupy the zone for commercial purposes until an applicant shall have been regularly and properly granted specific zoning for the purposes described in any of the commercial districts enumerated in this chapter. Under the comprehensive amendment to the zoning ordinance, the board of commissioners resolved that an owner of property currently designated CF, and not developed, shall have until January 17, 1996, within which to commence development pursuant to the previous conditions. For purposes of this section, commencing development shall mean applying for rezoning to an appropriate zoning district, obtaining a building permit, and beginning construction on the development. If such development shall not occur by January 17, 1996, such portion of the undeveloped and unzoned property must be brought in for rezoning to another district which is compatible with the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan: A Policy Guide, adopted November 27, 1990, prior to any future development. Additionally, no new applications for CF zoning may be accepted.
