Can I add an ADU to a house in East Kennesaw?

Adding an accessory dwelling unit to a house in East Kennesaw depends on the zoning designation for that specific parcel under city of Kennesaw or Cobb County code, the same way it does anywhere else in Kennesaw, since East Kennesaw is a local area name rather than a separate jurisdiction with its own rules. Lot size and setbacks both factor into whether an ADU is allowed by right or needs a variance. The Kennesaw building department can confirm the zoning for a specific address.
