Mixed-use zoning proposal in Henry County gets nod

An 18-acre tract on the northeast side of Foster Drive, just east of I-75 and north of Jonesboro Road, was rezoned to mixed use for the development of a combination of multi-family residential, office and commercial uses. The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Aug. 17 regular meeting to approve the measure. As part of the action, the commissioners stipulated that there will be no more than 260 total residential units or 14.3 per net acre, whichever is fewer.

A traffic study will also be required for the development. There were nearly a dozen conditions in all. Information: henrycounty-ga.com.
