Cobb Pregnancy Services in Marietta is requesting a zoning change necessary to demolish its existing building on the corner of Gramling and Powder Springs streets and build a new three-story replacement building.

The center has outgrown its existing space and current stipulations do not allow expansion of the existing building. The facility is a Christian-based, anti-abortion center offering pregnancy testing, counseling, parenting classes and other outreach services.

A planning commission hearing on the center’s request is Tuesday, and will be heard by the city council Sept. 14.
