A request to modify zoning conditions for nearly five acres of property at 31 Oak Grove Road was granted by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Nov. 15 regular meeting. The applicant sought to develop the property as a smoking lounge and restaurant in a C-2 zoning district, but the site’s existing zoning limited it to landscape service, greenhouses/plant nurseries and daycare establishments with outdoor playground uses.
