Rezoning Vote For Megachurch Development Postponed Again
With only four Cobb commissioners present, the vote to rezone land for North Point Ministries' development would have split 2-2.
EAST COBB, GA — The decision to rezone East Cobb land for a megachurch development was delayed — yet again — on Tuesday when Cobb County commissioners postponed it ahead of a likely split vote.
The Cobb County Board of Commissioners normally has five members, but only four were able to attend Tuesday’s meeting. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid was excused because of a death in her family earlier Tuesday, according to East Cobb News.
With only four commissioners present — and commissioners JoAnn Birrell and Keli Gambrill saying they wouldn’t vote for rezoning — commissioner Jerica Richardson moved to delay North Point’s Ministries’ rezoning application until September.
