The Locust Grove City Council voted at its July 6 regular meeting to approve a modification to zoning conditions as well as a landscape/tree replacement plan for an 80.456-acre site on the south side of Colvin Drive, west of Davis Lake Road and east of the railroad.

The applicant’s original plan was to develop an industrial warehouse facility with one building totaling 1,251,250 square feet. That plan was revised, and the new plan presented is for three smaller buildings whose total combined space would be 1,220,300 square feet, along with appropriate truck docks, trailer storage and employee parking. Two previous conditions on the property included retaining the existing home on the site and establishing a buffer on one side, but neither of them is relevant now.
