Development request denied by Henry County commissioners

Two requests regarding proposed development of a McDonough site were denied by unanimous vote of the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its March 16 regular meeting. A developer sought to rezone 13.8 acres at 438 Moseley Road from RA (residential-agricultural) to R-3 (single-family residential) for a subdivision, and also to amend the designation of the site on the county’s future land use map from rural residential to low-density residential. Both of those requests, voted on separately, failed 5-0.

In an unrelated action, a request to rezone 1.23 acres at East Lake Parkway to C-2 (general commercial) for future use was approved with conditions 5-0.
