Dawson County BOC approves rezonings for gun range, residential developments
At their voting session on Thursday night, the Dawson County Board of Commissioners approved rezoning requests for two proposed developments and allowed the owners of Dawsonville Gun and Pawn to go forward with plans for an indoor shooting range facility.
The development rezonings approved by the board include a 194-lot residential subdivision, planned to be built at the intersection of Dawson Forest and Blacks Mill roads, and a 120-unit mixed-use residential/commercial development proposed to be built near Lumpkin Campground Road and Hwy. 53.
Commissioners also approved a 90-day moratorium on new rezoning requests in multiple different zoning categories, so that the county can conduct a study on efficiency and costs associated with different zoning categories.
