The Woodstock City Council has approved two developers’ requests for variances that could result in 141 new townhouses for the community.
The Council approved a rezoning and variance application from Venture Homes Inc., Atlanta, for 83 townhouses on about 10.7 acres on the east side of Downsby Lane south of Ga. 92. Variances were allowed in density and setbacks. Conditions included alley screening, front and/or side porches required on all units and no more than 20 percent of the units available for rental at any time.
The Council also approved a variance application for LDS Partners LLC, Atlanta, for property at 7784 and 7849 Main St., 198 Short St. and 100 Henderson St. Fifty-seven townhouses are proposed for the roughly 7-acre site. The developer requested nine variances, including alleys, trees, sidewalks and stream buffers. LDS also has said it is willing to contribute $25,000 to improve Henderson Street.
