Following a public hearing Nov. 17, Gwinnett commissioners approved zoning changes to allow for the expansion of an existing subdivision in the 2900 block of Gravel Springs Road near the Mall of Georgia. The applicant requested rezoning 19 adjacent acres to develop 178 lots for inclusion in the subdivision. The overall development will total 218 single-family lots at a density of 3.25 units per acre. Most of the property is undeveloped pasture and woodlands with several small streams. The site was originally part of the Villages at Ivy Creek mixed-use project, which is no longer a viable project.
Commissioners approved the zoning changes with conditions that restrict home facades, buffers between lots, and calls for a traffic light at the intersection of Gravel Springs Road and the development’s new road. In addition, approval requires an eastbound right-turn lane on Ivy Creek Road and a southbound right-turn lane along Ivy Church Road.
