Forsyth Commission gives initial approval for Ga 9 medical office complex

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A proposed office complex along Ga. 9 received its initial approval at the May 20 Forsyth County Commission meeting. Board members signed off a sketch plat that calls for over 96,000-square feet of office space on the east side of Ga. 9 along Greenfield Drive near Exit 14 on Ga. 400. The proposal includes two buildings with 430 parking spaces on 8.3-acres. The building on the west side of the property would include about 56,000-square feet of office space and stand 3-stories in height. The second building, adjacent to Ga. 9, is slated to be 2-stories.  Ethan Underwood, an attorney representing the applicant, said the property is expected to exclusively house medical offices and is a “much-needed and high-end” development. He added the location was ideal for its proximity to Northside Hospital Forsyth and other nearby medical facilities.

County planners shelve zoning proposal they say could hurt low-income families

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Planning Commission voted April 27 to nix proposed regulations they say would limit lower income families from the calling the county home. The issue stemmed from proposed changes to the county’s regulations governing manufactured or mobile homes. County officials said the changes were initially spurred by cases in which developers have tried to create de-facto mobile home parks outside of areas zoned for the structures. While planning officials agreed with many elements of the changes — mostly related to aesthetics — they balked at a proposed minimum lot size requirement of 2 acres for a manufactured home built outside of districts the county has zoned for mobile homes. Proponents of the 2-acre requirement say it would move Forsyth County closer to reflecting standards of neighboring counties.

Forsyth commissioners sign off on mixed-use project, farm winery

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — A mixed-use development proposed next to Brandywine Elementary School received the greenlight from the Forsyth County Commission at its April 15 meeting. Commissioners also approved an application for a business billed as Forsyth County’s first farm winery. The approval of the rezoning request for the 19-acre site at 100 McFarland Parkway paves the way for applicant Liu Investment Partners to construct 67 townhomes with about 51,000-square feet of office/retail space dubbed Villages at Brandywine. The plan also calls for amenities like pocket parks, a playground, walking trails, a picnic area and open spaces. The proposal to rezone was first presented in 2016, but the brakes were pumped on the project until this year. Recently, the timeline has picked up, with the Planning Commission recommending approval, 4-1, last month ahead of the Board of Commissioner’s final approval last week.
