GAINESVILLE – Two parcels at opposite ends of the massive Mundy Mill mixed use development likely will be exchanging zoning designations after receiving a unanimous recommendation for approval Tuesday evening from the Gainesville Planning and Appeals Board.
The 605-acre development along Mundy Mill Road was originally approved in 2004 for 1148 single-family homes, 1235 condominiums, townhomes and apartments, over 800,000-square feet of office/warehouse space, 885,000-square feet of commercial/retail space and an elementary school.
Developer Scott Stringer has applied with the City of Gainesville for rezoning that would allow him to construct three hundred multi-family apartments currently approved for Pod E (a 17.25-acre tract at the most eastern edge of the complex), on a 17-plus acre site on the western edge of the complex (Pod I). Both pods are owned by Butler Property, LLC.
GAINESVILLE – A “doggie daycare” was approved for a residential area Thursday evening by the Hall County Commission, but the approval carries a condition limiting the owner’s business license to a one year term that is subject to review and renewal.
Members of the commission complimented both those arguing in support and those arguing in opposition for making creditable presentations, but in the end a decision had to be made.
“I would like to congratulate both sides,” District 2 Commissioner Billy Powell said, “I think you have done your homework, done your research and presented everything in a nice, concise manner.”
