Three rezonings were approved by vote of the McDonough City Council at its Dec. 9 regular meeting.

One request was for a multi-family zoning to allow an apartment development on South Point Blvd., along with variances to increase the maximum density from eight to 9.82 units per acre and increase the height limit from 35 to 43 feet. The other approval was for a proposal regarding a 35.75-acre tract at 600 Lake Dow Road. It was a city-initiated action for a single-family residential zoning with conditions and variances “to correct a procedural deficiency,” according to officials. Also receiving approval was a rezoning request to allow an indoor swim center at Avalon Pkwy. and Hayworth Pkwy.
