The McDonough City Council voted at its Oct. 21 regular meeting to annex and rezone a tract on Hwy. 20/81 near the I-75 interchange that was formerly the home of a Waffle House restaurant.
The move was to bring the site, which sits in front of a Walmart shopping center, in line with other tracts in that retail corridor, a couple of which have been annexed with the past two years. A separate rezoning case in another part of town was brought back to the council because of an additional variance request pertaining to setback requirements.
This site, which is just under an acre, is at 200 Atlanta Street and the applicant is seeking a rezoning from R-100 (single-family residential) to OI (office-institutional). A public hearing was scheduled for the council’s Nov. 18 meeting.
