Starr’s Mill development under review
By Jill HowardChurch
May 31, 2016A proposal to change the land use plan for undeveloped property near Starr’s Mill in Fayette County will get further review following a recent public hearing.
The Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 to direct county staff to refine wording of an ordinance that would create a Historic Overlay District at the intersection of Ga. Hwy. 74 South and Ga. Hwy. 85 near Padgett Road. At issue is which types of small-scale commercial development will be permitted near the historic site.
Commissioner Steve Brown vowed to “passionately oppose” any rezoning that would allow a convenience store and gas station near the mill.
